Does the hei-oic rescuer of some child or iuvaJid from the horrors of a death by lire or suffocation count the chance 0 or does he cast thought and consideration to the winds and simply go here ty cal Is To the average man these questions would be difficult to answer, but there is man who is as well qualified as any living- person to tell how it feels to face one of the most horrible deaths known. And thai, too, for the sake of others. The public are intensely interested iu the motionsof a hero.

That man is Officer Robert Bedell, of the Brooklyn police force. He is a hero every sense of the worrl. From out of the "very jaws of death he firm snatched human lives, and as the reached out its hot, encircling: amis, he has borne -the rescued one safety. Policeman. Bedell has had many terrible experiences; decidedly-owe than falls to the common lot even a policeman.

While the Brooklyn force, like that of many cities, numbers among its bluecoats brave men, occasionally one, by some signal' act of bravery, leaps at .1 bound to the front. True heroes not sing their own praises, and it was with great difficulty, that Mr. Bedell was induced to describe his emotions when be plunges without atnomenVs hesitation into a flery furnace, holding his own life cheap that others Bioy be saved. Firemen are valorous, but as they are paid and trained to fight the flames, the-r bravery does not merit the attention that befalls a man who of his own volition makes a rescue. Mr.

Bedell's greatest peril came not long ago, -when he ran through fire and smoke -to a'sec- ond story room, across the blistering floor, and rescued a tiny child, forgotten by her fear-distracted mother in the horror of a conflagration.

He had gone and all was For a few minutes the pumper was npnrly with and' sweat stood in great drops on his brow; then, taking a lantern, he went to the boiler and, sure enough, found the wrench hanging on the blow-off. He shut down the cnginn immediately, blew oft the boiler and quit the job. The pumper is a sober sort of a fellow and a mnn of good habits, whose word ordinarily would be takers' at par. He declares that he hncl not been drinking nor dreaming, but is certain he saw the ghost of Clark, WorUingmen on the adjoining leases are nearly out of their wits, and declare that, they will quit the ill-fated region, where two horrible explosions happened within a week and no less than a down accidents in the past few months.

'in' the field to stock occurred on the farm of Ephraim Willey, of township, and will lose one of. his, best horses. The beast was out'in-the field grazing with a number of other horses kept for farm use, and It'is thought that it backed to a tree to scratch its horses do sometimes: When in that position the-horse switched its toil about tho and the hair caught.in the bark.

The horse w.as fastened in.that position like a vise, and was.in horrible condition when found. It had pulled so long and hard that its tail was partially out by the Mr. Willey does not know how long the horse 1 was in thfe terrible'position in ho was found, as which they were grazing.was supplied all Is needful, nnd.no attention required fpr supplies The hbrae was a valuable one, and will be a great loss to This one 'of' the-etnangest accidents that haa. ever-been Jieard-'of.

to communicate with the shore. OFFICER ROBERT BEDELL. He reaohed' safety just as that floor made treacherous by fire earoe crashing almost on his very heels. "How does it feel said Policeman Bedell "well in one way you don't -feel anything, and still you do. I mean that at a time like that a man is so excited he doesn't realize what he is running into.

"Of course you see the flames lapping 'up everything-'in sight, and seeming to leap out toward you! You fccl.thc burn- heat, and your eyes are blinded, and your breath half stopped by the eloncto of smoke that, roll and higher until they surround you on all sides. Cur. you are, after all, only half conscious of it at 'the time. It is afterward, when you realizethe scene, thatitscems more distinct, 'and the full danger is realized. "It is funny that a.

mind should act so much more, quickly and sharply in times of danger and peril. But it always seems does at least. And you notice sm'all things. I know "the other, night when I 'went after littte seven-year-old Fannie Walsh nt Mo. 1307 Bushwick avenue, as soon as picked her up it flashed into my mind hat I had better cover her head with omething to prevent her being choked n' the smoke.

I burried to the wash- tand and grabbed a towel, soaking it the water pitcher. It didn't take ten my mind had time to note a picture langing over the washstand. A picture of -a deer wading, into a. lake. I envied deer! I never thought of that pic ture again' until I saw one like it yesterday in a shop window.

Then I remem- iered where' It was I first saw "But it IB-all over so quickly that you don't realize' much until it is past. I know the other night, 1 don't recall hav nc felt any fear until he.ard the floor crash behind me, when 1 put'my footon the ladder. It must have been pretty hot as crossed back, for the soles of my shoes were badly scorched. But I didn't do anything much after all." This police hero is alliletic and takes a pardonable pride in his prowess. It is well that his muscles are of steel, for tarrying frantic people down ladders needs sinew and brawn.

KAKfc PHliNOMENON. Llffhtulnc I'hotORrftphu a Picture on Body of Its Victim. Lightning played a queer prank-wben it killed William Campbell, of Bryn Mawr, near Yonkers, N. other night. Surrounded by his children, he was'stricken down in the doorway of is home by a bolt that had uprooted a small shrub in front of him.

He fell over dead on top of his ten-year-old son. who The child was uninjured, but when the father's body was examined a perfect photograph of a branch of the shrub was found in vivid red on his breast. It was not until the coroner. Dr. Miles, viewed the body that the photographic phenomenon was discovered.
