Twee Her Fire Laddie By Louise Merrifield ght, 1910, by Associated Lit (Copyri by erary The shouting at the window awak: ened S8ibyl. She sat up in bed, push: ing back her heavy loosened halr dasedly. “Well?” she called. A figure sprang over the sill, and 8tood sharply silhouetted against the dull orange glow outside. “I thought somebody was in here” she heard a man's voice say. “The botel 1s on fire. Hurry.” “But—wait a moment. What do you waat me to do?" There came a great crash some where in the rear of the botel, and a roar of beating flames.

He stopped once, breathing | heavily. There were shouts below them of encouragement. She heard them say the life net was spread. “Your hair blows across my eyes,”" he gasped. “Take it away.” She managed to sweep it back, and as she did =o, there for an instant as they stood balanced on the brink of death, she saw his face for the first time in the light of the flames. His helmet was pulled low over his face, but she saw the strong, clean lines of the jaw, the close, resolute mouth and aggressive chin, above all, his eyes, keen and alert between half-closed lids as he looked at her. Above them there came a second thundering crash as the two upper floors fell in. The outer wall, where the ladder rested, swayed and a cry of horror went up from below. He smiled grimly at her, tightening his hold. “Better trust to the net, hadn't we " “No," ghe said. “Don’t drop me, please. I'm not afraid.” He began the descent once more, past windows where tongues of fire leaped out, and threatened her floa:- ing hair and light gown, and the crowd held its breath watching the dell’s| Is Headquarters for Everything in Groceries A FEW SPECIALS Shsar ;3 pounds .....

She remembered smiling at the ab- surdity of it, and then all the world seemed to turn into smoke and reach- ing flames. The first words she spoke an hour later, as she lay in a guest room up at Alrlle cottage, were in harmony with the rest of the night's adven- tures, “What is his name?" “Whose name, Sibyl darling?" asked her friend, Rose Airlie, anxiously. “Are you hurt much, dear?
