A bowler was so ■ engrossed in [ lia game that he took no heed of the shrieking siren of an approaching fire engine. It was,not until a friend drew. Mb attention to the. fact that it was Ms owa house from wMch dark,.black clouds were billowing that he allowed Ma interest to be taken from .the game. . He made post-haste to the • house, where he found the firemen already in possession, and going about their duties.
