HER LAST EXPERIMENT
Old Story of the Fatal Attraction of
Fire to the Childish Mind Is
Repeated—Victim Dies
i in Delirium.
Chicago.—Despite the prompt at
tempts of two boys to save her,
Wealthle Lunde, five-year-old girl,
who played wltli a match, lies dead,
i The accident occurred Sunday. ,
About seven o’clock Wealthle, who is
the daughter of a railroad bookkeeper
living at 1327 Norwood street, came
into the house.
"It’s time for you to go to bed,”
she was told, but Wealthle wanted a
few minutes more of play. There
was a great experiment which she
^ must try before she could sleep—an
experiment with a match, which she
is thought to have taken from a neigh
bor's apartment.
Found Writhing on Grass.
Tn about ten minutes Miss Lasette
Calmelat, a guest of Wealfhle's moth
er, heard screams coming from I lie
direction of the alley. She rushed „fo
the rear door, but by that time the
sounds came from the front of the
house. Hurrying to the sidewalk, she
found little Wealthie writhing on the
grass, severely burned. Two boys
were bending over her.
Mites Devine, fourteen-year-old son
of John J. Devine, 1248 Norwood
street, was playing ball with James
Fitzgerald, 1252 Norwood street, who
is two years his junior.
"Suddenly,” said Miles, "I heard
screams, and she came running out
between the houses. She was all
afire.
" ‘I'm burning,’ she called. ‘Put me
cuti Put me out!’
“James was the nearest to her and
she ran toward him. He tripped her.
find we both rolled her on the grass
to smother the flame. I heat out
some of it with my hands. Then a
man came along and carried her into
(he house.”
In Delirium at End.
Miles said that lie had learned how
to handle such cases by reading the
Boy Scout Manual, although he is not
a member of that organization.
Wealthie’s death occurred late Mon
day night at the Lakevlew hospital.
On ihe operating table she told her
father how she had taken a match
from a neighbor's home and lit a piece
of paper with it. _
Biu there were few moments of -
soup t'orvsoimieness. ATnstUv tnil.-ed I

Beat Out Some of It With His Hands.
In delirium of her playmates on the
street. Sometimes she sang. Once in
the voice of a girl over twice her age j
she chided the doctor for hurting her. j
Hospital attendants recollect the j
following words verbatim, uttered
Just as she was dying: “
w “. . . Buster, let me play with
Jour ball? . . . Nurse, T think you
mean. Can’t you see that you are
tVtlnK my arm? ... I think 1
had better go to the store and get a
pound of butter, mother. I see that
you need butter. . . . Now I lay
me down to sleep, I pray . . .”
And so she died.
