"Girls! girls! have any of you see Miss Harrow?" The cry came from one
of the teachers, as she made her way through the crowd.

"Why, isn't she out?" asked a number.

"I don't know, I can't find her anywhere," replied the instructor.

"Was she in the building?"

"I think so. She said at supper time that she had a toothache, and was
going to retire early." And thus speaking, the teacher hurried on.

"Is that the Miss Harrow who lost that four-hundred-dollar diamond
ring?" asked Tom.

"Yes," replied Nellie.

"Was her room in that addition?" questioned Sam, quickly, pointing to
an end of the building which was on fire in several places.

"Yes, she has the corner window, right over there," responded Grace,
pointing to a spot close to where the building was in flames.

The words had scarcely left the lips of the girl, when, to the horror
of those standing below, a third story window was suddenly thrown up,
and the head of a woman appeared.

"Help! Help! Save me!" The cry came wildly from the woman, who was
plainly terror-stricken.
