But Polly scorned the offer.

I'll try 1t with Mr.. Rogers" she SAID
archly. You see. he's perfectly SAFE"
The shout that went up at Bradley's
expense did not daunt him.
Everything comes to him who-is
modest" he paraphrased good ma.
turedly.
So Polly tried the affectionate well
come home scene with Bradley-and
strange thing happened. In each of the
many times she had rushed into Bert
Crawford's arms she had felt embar-
rassed and conscious. Her one impulse
was TO tear herself away again. But
when Bradley's arms closed about her
she felt a strange thrill of happiness,
and as she looked up into his face their
glances met In the discovery of an un-
guessed secret.
There" exclaimed the delighted
prompter, that's something llkel Now

Noyes"
But Polly wouldn't
'I'm tired of the old scene," she said
laughingly. determined that no one
should guess how madly her heart was
beating .'I'll do 1t all right the night

on Mr.. Rogers; you're my father again
now. you know. and I've got to tease
you into letting me marry Captain
Wheeler. I'm going to be most IRE
sistibly persuasive tonight-to make up
for my failure In the last act" she
added gayly.
And she was Irresistible. Twice Rog-
ers forgot his cue, so fascinated was
he in watching her.
At length came resting space, and
Polly and Rogers found themselves
alone in the music room.
What did you mean, Miss Noyes,"
inquired Bradley half jokingly, half
seriously, "by saying I was perfectly
safe?'"
Polly blushed scarlet, though her
tone was admirably nonchalant.
"Why, that you're married, Of course"
For moment Bradley looked abso
Iutely nonplused; then he burst out
laughing.
"WellY querled Polly, doubling her
senses.
".All the world has evidently be-
come stage with you. Miss Noyes."
he answered. smiling at her amusedly.
"Of course as your father in the play

Then who are Mrs. Rogers and the

thought so all along from the night
of the very first rehearsal II I'd

confusion
'1f you'd knownT repeated Bradley,
looking straight into her eyes.
They heard the prompter calling
them.
Goodness" exclaimed Polly, "we're
missing our cue. Come on, daddy"
she added mischievously.
Polly entered with flourish, turned
toward Bradley, who followed with
his hastily assumed old man manner,
and held out her arms to him appeal
ingly.
You will let me marry the man l
love, won't you. daddy? Do say yes"
she pleaded.
Bradley gave his reluctant paternal
consent, and Polly threw her arms
about his neck affectionately.

He Didn't Like PLEDGES.

Judge Martin Grover of Troy, N. T.,
was ut one time approached by a young
citizen who wished to be nominated to
the state assembly. The shrewd old
judge had certain doubts about him,
which he expressed somewhat freely.
and yet he was willing to afford him II
trial. He therefore addressed the as
pirant in this way;
Young man, IL you will give me
your word that you won't steal when
you get to Albany I'll see what kin be
done about sendin' you there"
Judge Grover" replied the young
man, drawing himself up with great
dignity, II go to Albany unpledged or
don't go at ALL"

oBEYED ORDERS.
The Lady Knew just What to Do
When a Fire Started.

When a Fire Started.
Mrs. Wilcox had boundless faith In
the wisdom and general effectiveness
of her husbands advice, and conse-
luently he had prlmed her with in
strnetions for any emergency that
might arise when he was absent.
Among other things, he had repeatedly
warned her In case of fire TO spread A
rug on the blaze and then telephone for
the engines.
So deeply was this advice impressed
on her subconseiousness that her ac-
tions the day of the fire In her horne
were purely automatic
She had bought new hat, and, the
room being rather poorly lighted, she
used the gas jet over her bureau as an
aid to studying the new millinery
achievement Suddenly as she was lift
ing the lace creation Off her head it
slipped and fell directly upon the blax-
Ing gas jet.
The expected happened. The hat WAS
soon burning Aercely. still on the top of
the gas pipe
Mrs. Wilcox, mindful of Jacks ad-
vice, grabbed a valuable Persian rug
on the floor and. spreading 1t carefully
over the lighted gas jet and flaming
hat, rushed out to the telephone.
AT the doorway she collided with her
maid. Estelle, who, hearing the rapid
movements In the room, was coming to
learn the cause
Running over TO the bureau, the girl
turned out the gas and, throwing the
rug on the floor, stamped out the
flames, which had burned hole
through the valuable tapestry
''Why, Mrs. Wilcox" she cried. why
didn't you turn out the gasp
Turn out the gasg" answered her
mistress. well. aren't you bright! 1
never thought of that. Jack has al
ways told me to put rug on a fire.
