ed over the lower part Of the metrop-
oils. The Christmas season was again
approaching when be had proposed to
Lizzie to share a freman's lot. At
first she had put him or, uncertain OF
her own heart Was she not In danger
Of mistaking this very gratitude for
love, and would II be fair to Jack to
tie his life to hers before entirely sure
Of the state Of her own mind? She told
him to wait" And Jack waited.
On Christmas. as 1t happened. he was
again on duty, and early In the day he
found himself on a hose cart clatter-
ing up in front Of a tall and smoking
old rookery containing for the most
part sweatshOps. Up the front Of the
building zigzagged a fire escape, and
he. with a number Of the other boys"
YVES detailed to carry a hose nearly to
the top Of this, open a window and
play a stream that would rip on plas-
ter and hath on the little red and blue
tongues writhing over in the corner.
1t was Jacks duty to hold the noZ-
gle, not an easy task with a long.
heavy hose through which water Is
tearing at a speed to go over a high
building. His arms were already ach-
ing when the captain saw that his men
were In danger and called through
megaphone for them to descend. Jacks
three companions at once started down
ward; but, unfortunately for him. the
hose had no hook, so he was COM
PEELED to hold II until the men reached
safety. To have abandoned IL would
have let II go crashing down to split
their skulls or knock them from the
FIRE escape. By the time these had
reached the pavement his chances
were entirely cut of. Already the graf
ing beneath his feet was growing hot.
Calling TO Look out below" Jack
dropped the hose and sprang through
the open window. Within the place
had become a sweatshop indeed. The
smoke choked and blinded him.
Stumbling over chairs. he CROPPED his
way to a side window. which be broke
out with his heavy helmet Thrusting
his head out for gulp Of fresh air,
be drew his body through the opening
and got a footing on the narrow cop
ing. This was not over four inches
wide and was slippery from the water
thrown on II. which had frozen al
most as soon as II fell. As Jack was
edging his way along this perilOus
footing a crooked rift in the smoke
revealed him 10 the fremen below Ii
also revealed him TO a white faced girl
In the crowd, but Of her presence Jack
was in ignorance. Neither did he hear
the agonized little shrek Of Save
him." Dashing into the adjoining
building. two Of the fremen tore up
to the roof. which was a short dis
lance above the spot where he stood.
The exhausted man was almost ready
TO fall as four strong hands grasped
him and pulled him TO safety.
AS for Lizzie. the crooked rift in the
smoke had not only uncovered Jacks
form. but had revealed her own heart,
and when he reached the street she
softly asked him TO come to the tat
that evening. as a Christmas present
awaited him there
1t was with a lighter heart than for
some previous weeks that Jack sat
