"Hold on, Pat, help is comingl" they
shouted with one voice.
Then wave of horror swept over
the crowd. The man suspended be-

loosened his hold and fell backward,
striking the ground with sickening

men covered their faces from the sight.
But he wasn't. An Irishman has as

that he was once more on terra firma,

That afterhoon the competition
came TO an end, with Burton good
many points ahead Of Greville. And
that night there was the big hop. It
had been understood from the first that
the man who won was to take Miss
Miyart to the hop. SO she went over
with Burton, and gave him one-third Of
her dances, Greyille had another third,
and the rest were open to the post at
large.
GTeville did not look happy at all. It
was not the target record he minded.
He never thought about that. 1t was
having to GO a6wn the boardwalk to
the hop-room behind Burton, and to
watch Miss Miyart leaning on his arm
and looking up into his face from under
the white mists Of her lace hood. He
was not consoled at all when she looked
up into his own face even more sweetly
at the beginning Of the second dance,
and whispered that she was so sorry. .
Now as the second dance had been
Greville's, the third was Burton's.
Thatwas the way it had been arranged.
As the band began the waltz, Miss
Mivart stood beside Greville in tie CEN
ter Of quite a group. The commanding
officer was in the group, so was Bur-
tons captain, and so was the adiutant.
There were some others as well, and
also some women. Miss Mivart may
have chosen that position, OF it may
simply have happened SO.
Anyway, just as the waltz started,
Burton, light-hearted and light-footed,
came slipping and sliding over the
candle-waxed floor, and pushed his way
into the midst. "Ours," he said, tri-
umphantly.
But Miss MivaFt did not heed him ab
once. She was telling them all how she
had learned to shoot carbine as well
as anyone, and they, the men, at any
rate, were hanging on her words.
'AIr Greville taught me-" she said.
"and SO did Mr. Burton" (Thisw was tho
first either had known Of the Others
part in it, andsthey exchanged a loolz.)
eThey taught me with their own ear-
bines, too. The very same ones they
used themselves In the competition.

ror and surprise. They had moved
little away from Burton, and the com
manding officers steely eyes were on
his face. The face had turned white,
even with the sunburn, and Burton's
voice was just trife unsteady as he
spoke.
''This is our dance, think, Miss Mi
vart, he said.
The innocent, round, blue orbs
looked just little coldly into his.
"No," she told him, "I think you are
mistaken. 1t is Mr.. GreviIle's dance.''
And she turned and laid her hand on
Greville's arm.-San Francisco Argo-

Years ago there was a cold night in
the latter part of December at Brat

freezing nights there before, but on
this one something happened.
A young man, Larlkin G. Mead, at
tracted by the beauty of the great
white stiffness, went out of doors and
slowly, yet with much delight, mod.
eled figure which, in his mind, stood
for the recording angel writing down

night the statue grew, and the ,sculp-
tor threw on water at intervals to
freeze it to, hardness. He was alone
and happy.
The next morning the neighbors
awoke to find the snow angel, pen in
hand, recording their history upon q
snowy scroll.
Local history says that this bit of
work decided the future of the young
man who did it. He. resolved to be-
come a sculptor, and went abroad to
study. Well known as his work after
ward became, perhaps he took no such
pleasure in 1t as in that little bit of
modelling under the cold Vermont sky,
