a trivet," said he, cheerfully, though
his heart was working like a steam
engine. How he managed to change
places with Emily he never knew.
He always said it was her trust in
him that did it. When she was safe
on the ladder, and he clinging to the
fragment Of wall, he said, impress
sively:
$50 down the ladder as quickly
as you can and T'll follow. In two
minutes the piace'll be down."
Emily gave him one swift look
that sent the blood tingling through
his veins, and in less than a minute
she was on the ground. John, who
had not been allowed to hold the
ladders, tried to put his arm around
her, but she pushed him from her as
she breathlessly watched Reuben's
descent. Then, turning to him:
"Go!" she said. GO! When
marry, Pll marry-I'll marry q
man !"
After that she tainted.
She did marry a man. His name
was Reuben Saunders. John Ad-
ans got the foreman's place in the
Shires.
