CHAPTER XXXVI.

Marine had quite given herself up
for lost.
She had cried out to Bertha again
and again but received no response.
It seemed as though every event in
her life passed through her mind in
the brief terrible moments she stood
there in the very jaws of death.
She loked out of the window and
wondered whether it would be more
horrible to jump or to remain where
she was and be strangled by the
smoke or roasted by the flames, which
had yet not penetrated the fire wall
separating the new wing from the
old structure but whose roar back of
and above her, sounded like a tempest
in her ears. In the fitful glare the
flames cast, she could see the houses
across the alley way, whose roofs
were more than two good stories be-
low her. But the windows in these
houses were like blind eyes. The in
mates either slept or had fed to the
street.
She measured the distance from
Eher window to the roof Of the nearest
one, and wondered whether, by leap
ing with all her strength, she could
clear the 20 foot alley and land on
the roof, and the thought recalled to
her the day of the picnic on the farm,
when all of the children had WED
with each other in the Olympian
games; and of how short a distance
she had spanned in the running
broad jump when she had tried her
| best.
And with the thought of the farm
and the picnic, came the thought OF
Doris and her and Doris fright when
they were lost in the wood; and OF
how Marshall, always like the rescu-
ing prince in the fairy tales, had
found them and taken the home
Then how Marshall had again ap-
| peared when she had needed him SC
sadly that fearful day in the Ju-
venile court. And now. when she
needed him worse than ever in hel
life before, where was he?
And all the time the smoke wa.
getting thicker, for where the pane
in the door had been broken in b.
her blows from the ak there was fre.

(Continued.)

BY this time Bertha was sufficient
ay reviewed so that she could hobble
to the window. Marine leaned out to
cry again for help, when her atten-
ton was attracted by rope and
pulley the roofers had been using.
She reached out as far as she
dared to grasp the rope, but it was
Just beyond her reach.
Again the kindly wind came to
her resc0e. a sudden gust blowing a
strand of the rope toward her. She
managed to seize it and turning to
Bertha said: Gould you hang on
If l let you down? Then after you
are down, you could hold the rope
for me-
Bertha seemed beside herself with
fear and it was with the utmost diff
flculty that Marine succeeded in
getting her to comprehend her plan
Of rescue.
She finally stopped her moaning,
however, and by the greatest effort
got astride of the sill, took the rope
in both hands, and the descent was
begun.
For so frail a little creature
Bertha was abnormally strong in her
arms, the muscles in these having
been developed by the exercise she
had given them in propelling her
wheeled chair about the yard and
corridors. Besides, it was her last
hope and when she was made tc
realize this, her strength was
doubled
But although Bertha appeared as
light as a feather, when suspended in
mid-air dead weight on the rope
she seemed as heavy as lead. Cling
to it as tightly as she might, the
rope would slip through Marines
fingers much faster than she meant il
should and by the time Bertha haC
reached the ground. poor Marine:
hands were blistered and torn. In
deed so uncomfortable had the tor
tuorous rope become. that before sh,
had landed her passenger, Marni,
could hold it no longer and Berth;
fell the last half-story or more. Blu
Marine did not realize this and Gale,

while she made the descent.
But Bertha was lying on tn

Out of that seething furnace Mar
shall bore Marine in triumph. Down
the ladder they went and landed
safely amid the cheers of the mighty
multitude that had assembled TO
watch the destruction of the Or
phan's home
Marine lay so quietly in Marshall's
arms. with her head resting on his
shoulder. as he descended the ladder

pallor, that one Of the fireman who

had seen his face amid the throng
of curious spectators in the court
room. MARSHALL" she said again;
but her cry was a hopeless one this
time. She knew it was her death cry,
for at that moment there was rush
of flames through the door and she
felt that her hour had come.
She must have swooned: but it
was pleasant, for she dreamed she
heard MarshalTs voice call her name.
She thought she heard it again and

Buffalo Herds.

There are not, all told, more than
1900 buffalo remaining in the United
States and Canada" said Mr.. c. J.
Jones of Grand Canyon, Ariz. Mr..
Jones has for years borne the sobri-
quet of Buffalo JONES'" because of
his efforts to perpetuate the bison
breed. He is also distinguished for
his successful experiments in crossing
the buffalo with the domestic cattle.
producing a high-bred animal. to
which he has given the name of Ca
talo."
The largest single herd of buffalo
remaining" said he, us owned by the
Flathead Indians OF Montana-about
400. The second largest is on the
Austin Corbin estate, in New Hamp-
shire. Next comes the herd of Scotty
Phillips, in North Dakota, and there
is also a fair herd on the big ranch
OF Mr.. Goodnight in the Texas pan
handle. The catalo, a cross between
the bison and common cattle. is an
animal that has the traits of both
progenitors; not so wild and hard to
manage as the buffalo, and yet a good
bit shyer than its dam"
