Barcelona and his lieutenants has an
easy explanation now.
"Listenl what are they shouting?'
exclaims Miss Pauline in some eX-
element.
Dick is already thrilled by the
thought that this magnificent crea-
ture, the he has already learn
ed TO love. has taken this dangerous
midnight trip to save his life.
Her words arouse him; he remem
bers that he has no business now TO
be thinking OF himself when human
lives are In peril. Perhaps he might
be Instrumental en- saving some one,
though he dislikes leaving Miss Pau
line alone "a the crowd. Now he
catches the cries. All heads are bent
back, and every eye seems 10 be
watching something that Is going on
sbove-something that commands the
admiration Of these P~arisians. who
have a quick eye for bravery.
"The brave American Is what
they exclaim, and Dick Is also thrilled
when his eyes take in the situation
above.
Through the FIRE and smoke he sees
a man on the fiat roof OF the burning
house. Some one Is perhaps sitting
on his legs, for at least half his body
hangs over the coping. and IN this
way he can reach the window OF the
upper hail, where a number OF
wretched people have clustered. as
though there can be safety in thus
coming together. In this man Dick
recognizes Colonel Bob. The present
sherin OF secora county was once a
Cincinnati fireman attached 10 the
famous Gifts, and thus 1t happens he
knows many Of the tricks Of the
trade.
Though not a large man, he has
the power OF a Samson IA his arms
and back. A pair Of arms are out
stretched to the daring rescuor. he
clutches them above the elbows. and
lifts the woman up until some one
else on the roof can catch hold. when
she disappears over the coping and
the crowd below gives a subdued
cheer.
