81 will save her." declared the tramp,
quietly, as he turned, sprang up the STEPS
and vanished through the doorway into
the burning building.
Every moment that followed seemed
like an age of suspense and horror to
Joel Gray and his wife. Suddenly a
dark figure appeared mt one of the win
dows, and all about him the fierce flames
seemed leaping and curling He held
large bundle in his arms. There was
crash of glass, a dark mass shooting
downward, heavy thud, and the tramp
lay at their feet.
Joel sprang forward and unwrappcd
the blanket that cnvcloped the form of
his little daughter, and to his JOY found
her alive, though nearly smothered. The
stranger lay quite still where he had fallen.
The farmer bent over the brave rcscuer
of his daughter, and as he turned the
tramp upon his back, the mans eyes
opened, and he murmured:

And while Joel Gray, the thrifty far
MGR, worked hard to save his cattle and
part of his tools, Dennis Dowry, the
man of hard luck and poets soul, lay
dying with head resting in Inza's lap. He
told her all his sad tale, his struggles, his
snlferings and failures. He whispered of
blow on the head that had deprived him
of his reason for years, and how, when
he was once more himself, he had hastencd
to find her. He loved her still, and his
dying wish was that she might be happy
always.
