Of law. Thus would he vent some q
his grudge against the world--ths
world which had been treacherous t.
him, and then hedged him IN with con
ventions which made redress impos
sible. The phantom figure Of q WON
an stood out, as SO often It did In biz
infIamed mind from the smoke and
the steam; Of Q woman who had
wronged him grlevcusly And there
was another-the policeman.
He took q step nearer.
"You--save her" he Kissed, and the
sound Of his voice sounded strange
even to himself, save her, and get
the glory. That's yoar graft. Come,
I'll help ye." And he caught the po-
liceman by the arm.
There was tina. about the fireman
which frightened the man. With his
recovered strength he resisted the
movement toward the window. But
the strength Of ten men seemed Knee
lands.
As the two forms staggered into the
| indistinct light from the street, hre-
men outside were raising ladder TO
an upper floor. Slowly It warped up
ward, then rested on ledge Of an op-
posite side, and man carrying Q
hose in his hand ran quickly up.
Across the area-way the forms Of
two men met his view. One, in police
mans uniform, seemed struggling
back from the window; the other, .

rolled him against the wall The
fireman on the ladder had turned his
hose on the struggIers.
Choking and battered by the deluge
which threshed in upon them, Knee
land caught at the SILL In the mo
ment he had been at the window the
feet and skirts Of woman hanging
from the ledge above had met his Wis.
ion. The instincts Of the tire-hghter
were once more supreme.
"The woman!" he called, painting,
TO the policeman. Quick, help mel"
The stream Of water had ceased to
pour through the window. The fire
man on the ladder also had seen the
woman and had turned his hose into
the room, from the ledge Of which
the woman chung desperately by her
hands to escape the sufocation Of
smoke and flames.
Kneeland thrust leg out Of the
window.
"EIold this one" he shouted to the
policeman, kicking the other against
the floor to help the words. Now.
yer arm around my waist. Steady!--
steady!"
AS the policeman took hold Of him
he felt the fireman suddenly relax
In his grasp. He saw Kneeland look
up at the woman with staring eyes,
mouth opened. He heard him mutter
d name; then seem to sink away from
him, as though he would slide back
into the shelter Of the window.
Suddenly the fireman became rigid,
once more as steel bar. The opened
mouth closed tightly over the snap
