He was a farmer, like himself—a tiller of the soil—a man, head of a family, who ought to know better’ than to risk his life saying unkind things about the bachelor, Jed Minor. Jed had been sweet upon Old Man s daughter, to be sure, and] | ause to consider his regard fully reciprocated, But—and Minor gritted his teeth—no onb could ac- ctse him of doing the things Fuller sald he had done, without swallow- ing it and saying he was sorry. There was no chance of getting | the girl now, of course. Fuller had {seen to that, Woll, if he couldn't the girl, he could get Fuller— | that is, if Fuller refused to retract. |The man had lied and. . . Minor jerked a hat off the hook on the buck of the kitchen door, pulled it onto his head, stuck the pistol in his shirt, where it rested | againat the tight-drawn belt that en- | circled his waist, and set out of the house, almost on a run. He cranked hiy fliivver and sped out of the yard onto the street, Then he turned in the direction of Fuller's house, The wind blew a gale and he trav- }eled in his own dust. ‘This didn’t | assuage his anger, If Anything his choler mounted, He'd fix him, he would, He'd show him no man eould lio about him and get away with It. | His eyes were fixed on the road before him He sped along at a terrific rate. | And then something caught his | eyes, So powerful was the attrac- |tion that he partly closed the | throttle that he might look without | danger of turnitig turtle. On his left was the Johnson resi- | dence.

Great flames wero leaping out of the upper windows—smoke was issu ing from the open door. Tho place| was doomed—he could seo that at a| glance. And even as he looked, the body of Johnson's wife, hair and clothes afire, came staggering out of the} smoke-blackened hole of the door. She fell on her knees on the ground outside, rolled in the dust to} extinguish the flames, almost in- stantly sprang to her feet again, screamed “My baby, my baby," and staggered back into the maw of| death. Mjnor took it all 4n at a glance, then raced toward the burning building, He almost capsized when he made the turn into the Johnson yard, slammed on his brakes when near to the house and left the machine with amazing speed. Without a moment's hesitation he went to what might be his death. He couldn't see for the smoke. He couldn't breathe. Remembering something he had one time read, he dropped to his hands and knees where the alr was better and crept along in search of whoever he might find He felt that his lungs must burst with the holding of his breath, but he kept on, wondering where the woman had gone, where the child might be she was supremely intent on saving. Little tongues of flame licked down thru burnt openings in the ceiling—reached down and sought to engulf him, to set his clothing on fire as they had those of the wom: an before him, ‘They cast a lurid glare thru the smoke-laden room, dimly revealing it in outline when the smart of the smoke permitted him to look. And then his hand come in con- tact with something soft and yield. ing and hot, A chill went thru him despite the heat of the room, He knew what it was—it way the body of a man or woman—too large for that of the child—with the smoldering cloth flesh-searing in the intensity of Its heat, He threw caution to the winds and seized the body in his arms— staggered from the room into the open and deposited it on the ground —the expiring remains of Mrs, Johnson, Others had come upon the scene. Subconsciously he glimpsed them j where he could, by feel of racing frantically in at the gate, f Pm RAY MA itl ue He turned and dashed back Into the house, Stooping low, he ran ‘first to one room and the other, on the ground floor, exploring hurriedly sight rwise, the places where a body might be. The fire itself was raging up- stairs. The upper floors were threatening to fall in at any mo- ment. He wondered about the stairs and what was taking place in the rooms that led from the landing at their top. He knew the answer—nothing alive could exist up there. Johnson and the child—well, what was John- son and the child—would probably be found up there—alongside him- self, he mentally added, as ho turned and leaped to the lurid curtain of death. He took two steps at a bound— several bounds—then the stairs caved in and precipitated him face forward in the room below. He remained where he had fallen. He awoke to seo angels fluttering about him, One was looking down into his face and bathing it with deliciously cool water, It was—yes, he must have been dead a long while-it was Gladys whom he would have interference, Well, she had come to him, even tho she had to pass thru all eternity to do so, He closed his eyes for a mo- ment to think, Then he opened them again and ced at other faces, Yes, ho wi 1in now he was dead, There was the Johnson 2-year-old, un- marked, as he had seen him last— mute evidence that he was beholding the spirit of the child—for had he not been ching for the child's charred body? And—he blinked and wondered if he was in Heaven after all—and if so-—what was Old Man Fuller doing there? He rained up on one elbow and groaned, “What—what—where am 1?" he demanded in none too strong tones. “T—died—and—" “Thank God!" said Gladys, slipping an arm around him, “That I died?" he looked at her questioningly. “No—that you didn't.” He ratiied quickly, “But—I must have died, I went in that—in that seething hell —an d-—1— didn't come—out.”” “Oh, yes you did—father brought you out.” “What's that!” he struggled to his feet ' “Just what said, go Inside—and take went in."

John- son had returned to the dust out of which he was made, “But the chil he exclaimed, viewing the youngster, whom Gladys held by the hand—“I went in for him." Daddy brought me out,” said the baby, “and then went back for Muzzer. Why did Muzzer go back? to get Daddy?"

It put a horror in his heart of-—death, And—the thought grasped him in its pitiless embrace—he had been en route to Fuller's house with a load- ed weapon in his hands.
