He opened the trap door in the floor and looked down into the cellar to see what made the noise, This was a mistake, He should have looked up, not down? For the noise was made by) plaster working loose tn the ceiling just over the trap door. While Joey was looking down into the cellar the plaster fell When others who heard the noise arrived, they found the trap door open and several bushels of plaster {n the cellar, when it ought to have been adhering to the ceiling. They couldn't find Joey any- where.

There was rejoicing at the news of his survival. | Capt. Indale, of the 8. 8, Ribera, one of the merchantmen sent down | by the Emden, said, when landed at Colombo, that the Emden's officers | realized the probable shortness of thelr craft's tether Asked what they would do when overhauled by a British warship, one of them repiled to Capt. isda’ “We shall run like the devil—we are not built for fighting The Emden did fight gallantly, however. Capt. ledaie reiated that when hie ship was captured, he was asked by the Emden's. boarding officer if there were any women on board. The negative reply he received sealed the Ribera’s doom. Capt. Tulloch, of the 8. 8. Tymeric, another Emden victim, sald: “The chief engineer and | were put into the petty officers’ room and a guard was placed over us.

It ts this: The well-to-do people of Seattle have been generous during the Christmas season just past, Thousands of needy families have re- ceived food, clothes and fuel. Thousands of “little-chimney kids” had a merry Christmas, But Hunger and cold are as hard to endure after Christmas as be fore. There are more than 60 firemen at No, 2, Each man has obll- gated himself to give what he can afford for charity, The monthiy total of No. 2's charity fund will be about $50, This the firemen will give, in food, clothing and fuel, to the very poor this winter. They will do more, They know their district, every nook and corner of it. They know whgre proud poverty and timid poverty hide, They will search out and Investigate. They will do this in their spare time, their rest time ai their play time. The Star's part in this s¢heme ts to act as the firemen's pub- Neity bureau, That is, we will print, from time to time, under the above caption, the needs of Seattle's poor as discovered by the fire- men. For example Widow; four children, ages 11, ings, uncerwear, Then, if you are 80 minded, you can deliver to No, 2 engine house whatever of clothing you can spare or money you can afford, and feel confident that your charity will go where the need fs dire The firemen will pay particular attention to the needs of fam- iles, 9,, 6 and 3. Need shoes, stock- Don’t ask the firemen to come to you and collect your contributions, That wouldn't be fair to them. If they, In thelr spare time, are willing to investigate cases of need and to relieve want, In addition to giving money out of thelr small walaries, you ougt to be glad to take or send your con- tributions to the engine house. oe eee The Star makes this further suggestion: All the fire stations, on thelr own initiative, have been reliev- % want in their tricts. They have had little outside help. If the other stations wish, we will act as their publicity bureau, too, They have only to send us particulars of the needs of the poor in their districts, and we will make those needs known in 50,009 com- fortable homes, But he was not far away, it Capt.
