19 YEAR OLD GIRL HEROINE AT FIRE
   MARLBORO, March 29—A 19 year old girl was the heroine of a fire here late yesterday, when she carried a cumbersome ladder a quarter of a mile unassisted, and then organized a bucket line among neighbors after the fire apparatus that was speeding to the scene became stuck in the mud.
   Miss Leonel Bouvier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bouvier, was first to see the flames shooting from the roof of the big barn owned by George Emerson on the outskirts of this city. She called to her brother Joseph and Edward, and after they had telephoned to fire headquarters, hurried to the burning structure a quarter mile away.
   When the fire apparatus failed to arrive, Miss Bouvier rushed back home for a ladder. It was necessary to prevent the flames from spreading to the Emerson home, only a few feet away from the barn, as Mrs. Emerson was seriously ill, and it would have been dangerous to have taken her out into the chill March air.
   By the time the girl had returned with the ladder, neighbors had gathered, and with their aid, she soon had water on the house roof through a bucket line. No attempt was made to save the barn.
