Individually our pride was at low

played Grieg with the soft stops on,
and Aunt Selma went to bed. The
weather had changed, and it was
sleeting, but anything was better than

Aunt Selma crossed the library
swiftly, and again I followed. Bella
was sitting in a low chair by the fire,
looking at the logs, in the most eX-

On a chain around her neck! Bella,

went up to the roof
1t was dark in the third floor hail.
and l had to feel my way to the foot
of the stairs. I went up quietly and
turned the knob of the door to the
roof At first it would not open, and
I could hear the wind bowling out
side. Finally, however, I got the door
open a little and wormed my way
through. 1t was not entirely dark
out there, in spite of the storm A
faint reflection of the street lights
made it possible to distinguish the out
lines of the lockwood plants, swaying
in the wind, and the chimneys and
the tent And then-a dark figure
disentangled itself from the nearest
chimney and seemed to hurl itself at
me. l remember putting out my
hands and trying to say something,
but the figure caught me roughly by
the shoulders and knocked me back
against the dOOr-frame. From miles
away heavy voice was saying, $50
I've got yOu!" and then the roof gave
from under me- and I was floating out
on the storm, and sleet was beating
in my face, and the wind was whis-
pering over and over, open your
eyes, for Gods sake!"
I did open them after while, and
finally made out that was lying on
the floor in the tent. The lights were
on and | had cold and damp feeling,
and something wet was trickling
down my neck.

the snow and stood looking down at
me.

somewhat at my gibe.

planned shortly. IT was waiting for
some one, and in the hat you wore,
and the coat, l mistook you. That's
all. Can you stand?"
"NO," l retorted. I could, but his
summary manner dfspleased me- The
sequel, however, was rather amazing,
Tor he stopped suddenly and picked
me up. and the next instant we were
out in the storm together. At the
door he stopped and felt for the
knob
Turn it," he commanded. 81 can't

shrewishly. Let me down; I can

He hesitated Then he slid me
slowly to my feet, but he did not open
the door at once. "Are you afraid
to let me carry you down those stairs,

very low. "You stilfSth think 1 did that?"
