Harold was out playing with a tittle girl, Edith Groves, 7 years of gaze, when he ran across the top of the well, where a short time be- © fore the lad's father had got a pail of water.

Visiting at the home happened to be Jack Trussell, 8 member of the Boy S-outs of Lakeview Unitea Chrerch. The well is of the type w'thout a pump, the water being drawn up by a rope end a pail. Soiz'ng a clothes pole, Jack rushed to the well and plunged it to the bottom. Then he followed through the orening, and lowered himself band under band, his body stretch- ed rcvoss the gap and his feet and beer surrortinz his weight. He reached the drowning child as he woz oo'ne down for the third time, The beran the pseent. With tae ehil?'s body over his, hand over hand he crept toward the top, once being almost overbalanced. until he was 2ble to hoist the child high enough for his mother, who was reaching down, to seize him, Jack then climbed out himself. The unconscious child was rush- ed into the house where he was revived, and put into a warm bed. Yesterday afternoon he appeared none the worse for his mishap. The family lives on Manor Road.

Many of the clerks had to leave without their coats, which were in the cloak rooms on the second floor, As well as losing their wraps, the girls lost their wages, which they had received in cash earlier in the morning. The building, valued at $100,000 fs practically a total loss, and the contents worth more than $100, 000, are also destroyed, In addi- Richardson's hardware store were considerably damaged, and the store of J. W. Deegan, on the other side, suffered loss from smoke and water, The blaze proved the most stub- born the local brigade has fought for years. It had gained headway before the alarm was giv- en and the firemen spent every ef- fort to keep it from spreading, It was pot until late in the afternoop that the fire was completely out. One of the firemen, George Me: Ara, was injured about the head, when he was struck by falling ma- terial. His injuries were attended to by Dr. Crowe, and he was taken to his home, A coincidence about the fire is that" the Canadian Departmental Stores, Limited, were contemplat- ing installing a sprinkling system and in fact, the work was to have started within a few weeks time. Although it could not be definite- ly ascertained, it is understood that the loss in all cases is well covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is yet unknown. It was ru- rored that it originated from sparks from an ineinerator in the rear of the building, but Percy M. Hunting- ton, the manager, said fonight that there was no fire in the incinera- tor at the time. Forpunately there was not a strong wind blowing, otherwise the fire damrage might have been much more serious. While the firemen bad to work mander Winter condi- tiops of temperature, the weather was much milder than that which bad prevailed earlier in the week The fact that it occurred in the heart of the business section of the city, and at the noom hour, drew hundreds to the fipe, which at times was quite ular, with huge billows of smoke rolling out and enveloping the whole scene.

W.|- English Woman Lecturer is Opposed to Companion- ate Marriages Boston, Mass, Jan. 6.--Bishop Charles L. Slattery, of the Episco- pal Di of Massachusetts, has made public a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury quoting Miss Agnes Maude Royden, Eng- lish woman preacher, whose lecture engagements in Boston and Chi- cago have been cancelled as '"'op- posed to companionate marriage and to all other proposals of the kind."

Canterbury. The reply, dated De- cember 6, as made public by the bishop, sald: 3 "On receiving your letter of No- vember 19, about Miss Maude Roy- den, 1 wrote to ascertain her view on 'companionate marriage' I felt certain that she could not support that wild doctrine and 1 have a letter from her which simp- ly says, 'I am entirely opposed to companionate marriages and to all other proposals of the kind.' This ought to be conclusive." Mrs. H, L. Hardy, of Wellesley, Mass., secretary of the Boston branch, cancelled the lecture en- gagement, but she declared the cancellation was due to several rea- sons and not due to Miss Royden's attitude on companionate marriage. "All I can say now is that the action was taken because we felt that Miss Royden, however fine 'er -ATURDAY, JANUARY ., «74 ---------------------------- a ------ -- she may be personally, stood for certain principles Which our or- Mrs. Hardy sald. The feeling was, she added, that to have Miss Roy- den speak here under the society's auspices would be a mistake all around, that it would hurt the re- putation of our organization and that it might do harm to our youth.
