BUT IS CAUGHT IN came Dizzy While Under Instruction. WILL TRY AGAIN SOON| Deputy Chief Larkin Says Quinn Has the Right Stuff in Him. Deputy Chief Larkin, drill master of the Fire Department's School of In- struction, had @ dosen probationary mes in the big yard behind Fire Head- quarters, the six-story Dullding in Six~ ty-seventh street, between Third and Lexington avenues, to-day, putting them through a drill with scaling lad- ders. One after the other six men, led by Owen Quinn, a & probationer attending his third di instruction, weised these light ladders, consisting of single uprights with narrow cross Pieces for steps and surmounted by/ @reat iron hooks to catch over window ils, and started to scale the wall of Fire ‘Headquarters. Quinn hooked hin ladder into the frst ‘indow, climbed it, threw @ leg cver the window stil and expertly rained bie ladder to the winduw abo’ once ‘More hooked it into place and ascended again. Just one story below him came another man and behind the latter an- other and another as those above moved slowly upward a story at a time. @OT DIZZV, MISSED GRIP AND FELL OFF LADDER. Presently Quinn, astride the top win- dow, hooked his ladder over the edge of the roof and at--ted upward on his final journey. Below him five other men clung to thelr @ertious perches. ‘Then Larkin, watching from below, saw Quinn waver. He stopped his ascent and hung for & minute suspended half up hls ladder. Then the Chief saw one hand loose its grip. Quinn was a hundred feet or more abeve him and Larkin was helpless to ald him though he knew Quinn had be- come faint and was in danger of falling. He shouted an order that sent half a dozen old time firemen rushing up the stairs in the hope of reaching Quinn before his strength failed entirety, but scarcely had they dashed from the yard when Quinn's body ed backward, “Look out below!” yelled Larkin. “You, op the iadders. Duck! Crowd in close!" It epoke well for the discipline of the young fremen that not one of the five @n the ladders turned to see what had! ppened. Hach fattened himself as elose against his laddor as possible and then down past them flashed Quinn. his speed increasing each instant. Larkin and the recruith in the yard TYoeked on in horror. It was only a Becond or two before Quinn hed {nto the big net stretched out at the of the wall. By some freak of 08 fortune he had fallen perfectly Straight. His body had not turned over and he struck the net flat on Weight crushed the net down almost to the ground. It held, however, and he Was sent flying upward with the re- Yound. He lay motioniess whe he atruek once more on the net and Larkin swung himself into it, To hie amasement Qui yea were open and he amiled aa the Chief bent over him, WHEN HE 18 OUT OF HOSPITAL WE'LL TRY AGAIN. “For heavet make! boy, w hap- pened to you led the Chief. “I don't answered Quinn, faiatly. of felt faint up there and then I woke up here, 1 must have fallen.” You certainly did!” xclaimed Larkin, HM, but you coutdn’t prettily if you had been posing for a moving picture.” De: Benjamin Ramedeii, one of the) @epartment surgeons, and Dr. Cooley, | called from Flower Hospital, examined | Quinn, He eaid he was in great pain | A" and that hie back hurt, but the phyal- clans coulde't find @ thing wrong with, him except the possibility that a rib might be broken under hin right arm.

Hence the fact that M. de Bernoff, who enter- tains some very interesting opinions of American women, bases them mainly on what he calls our “grass widows,” whom he has met in his own country, in London and Paris, where he spends much of his time. M. de Bernoff believes that be- sides his title a European possesses frequently other advantages to tempt the hearts and purses of American helresses, American men are ugly physically, says this officer of the Czar, but he admits that he speaks only of the American man ip New York City, to which his observation has been confined so far. “The American woman is a spoiled chiid, a doll,” he remarked yeater- day at No. 213 West Thirty-third street. “The English woman too is leasnens, But it is not only in her ti of morals that the American woman ts out of place in a European aristocracy. “You have here the simple manners of ® democracy.
