WONDERFUL RESCUE. HOW SERGEANT VAUGHAN SAVED A LIFE VT A HOTEL FIRE. A Member at th. New York Department Who Endangered Hie Own Life to Save a Onert of the Hotel Koya! Who Had About Giron Cp All Hope. Jacob A. Riis, author of "How the Other Half Lives,” writes of "Heroes Who Fight Fire” in The Century. The article la one of the aeries "Heroes of Peace.” Mr. Riis tells the following story of a heroic rescue at the Hotel Royal fire in New York some years ago: Sergeant Vaughan went np on the roof. The smoke was so dense there that he could see little, but through it he heard a cry for help and made out the shape of a man standing upon a window sill in the fifth story overlook ing the courtyard of the hotel. The yard was between them. Bidding his men follow—they were five all told— he ran down and around in the next street to the roof of the house that formed an angle with the hotel wing. There stood the man below him only a jump away, but a jump which no mor tal might take and live. His face and hands were black with smoke. Vaughan, looking down, thought him a negro. He was perfectly calm. "It is no use,” he said, glancing up. "Don’t try. You can’t do it. ” The sergeant looked wistfully about him. Not a stick or a piece of rope was in sight. Every ahrejj was used below. There was absolutely nothing. "But I couldn’t let him, ” he said to me months after, when he had come out of the hos pital a whole man again and was back at work, "I just couldn’t, standing there so quiet and brave. ” To the men he said sharply: “I want you to do exactly as I tell you now. Don't grab me, but let me get the first grab.” He had noticed that the man wore a heavy overcoat, and had already laid his plan. "Don't try,” urged the man. "You cannot save me. I will stay here till it gets too hot, then I will jump. ” “No, you won’t,” from the sergeant, as he lay at full length on the roof, look ing over. "It is a pretty hard yard down there. I will get you or go dead myself. ’ ’ The four sat on the sergeant’s legs as he swung free down to the waist, so he was almost able to reach the man on the window, with outstretched hands. "Now, jump—quick!” he command ed, and the man jumped. He caught him by both wrists as directed, and the sergeant got a grip on the collar of his coat. "Hoist!” he shouted to the four on the roof, and they tugged with their might. The sergeant’s body did not . move. Bending over till the back creak ed, it hung over the edge,’ a weight of 203 pounds suspended from and holding it down. The cold sweat started upon his men’s foreheads as they tried and tried again, without gaining an inch. Blood dripped from Sergeant Vaughan’s nostrils and ears. Sixty feet below was the paved courtyard. Over against him was the window, behind which he saw the back draft coming, gathering head way with lurid, swirling smoke. Now it burst through, burning the hair and the coats of the two. For an instant he thought all hope was gone. But in a flash it came back to him. To relieve the terrible dead weight that wrenched and tore at his muscles he was swinging the man to and fro like a pendulum, head touching head. He could swing him up! A smothered shout warned his men. They crept nearer the edge without letting go their grip on him and watched with staring eyes the human pendulum swing wider and wid er, farther and farther, until now, with a mighty effort, it swung within their reach. They caught the skirt of the coat, held on, pulled in, and in a moment lifted him over the edge. They lay upon the roof, all six, breathless, sightless, their faces turned to the winter sky. The tumult of the street came up as a faint echo. The spray of a score of engines pumping be low fell upon them, froze and covered them with ice. Thl very roar of the fire seemed far off. The sergeant was the first to reoovtf. He carried down the man he had daved and saw him sent off to the hospital. Then first he noticed that he was not a negro. The smut had been rubbed off his face. Monday had dawned before he came to, and days passed before he knew his rescuer. Ser geant Vaughan was laid up himself then. He had returned to his work and finished it, but what he had gone through was too much for human strength. It was spring before he re turned to his quarters, to find himself promoted, petted and made much of. A Bureau of Courtesy. "A curious innovation, ’ ’ says the Bos ton Transcript, "at the coming Omaha exposition will he a bureau of courtesy. Not only is the idea novel, but it is sur prising to learn that nearly all the peo ple of the city will be enrolled in the committee. Every member will wear a badge, and visitors will be at liberty to address any one who wears the badge and ask for information just as much as he likes. The member, on the other hand, will be pledged to treat the visitor courteously and answer his questions, or put him in the way of getting them answered. ” Coke In Different Countries. The prices at which coke is quoted in different countries are given as <1.44 in the United States, SB.IB in Great Brit ain, $3.24 in France, $3.36 in Germany, $3.48 in Belgium, and in Spain $5.08.
