She laughed lightly. I'm sorry
no."
Il have only one," he said. I'm
going to strike 1t, so that we can get
our bearings"
He scratched the match on his sole.
The first precious moment of light he
permitted himself to look at her, fixing
her face in his mind as though ne
were never to see it again. 1t re-
joiced him to find that in that instant
her eyes also turned to his.
The interchange of looks was hard
for him to break. Only half the match
was gone before he turned from her,
but in that time he had asked and an
swered so many unspoken questions
questions which at the moment were
still little more than hopes and yearn-
ings. His heart was beating rapidly.
If she had doubted him, she did not
doubt him now. If she had not under
stood his feeling for her, she must I'M
derstand 1t now. And the look in her
own eyes-could he question that It
was more than friendly? But the me-
forced him to forget for the moment
the tender presence of the girl who
filled his heart He therefore employed
himself with quick study Of their sur
roundings.
The chamber was about ten feet
square, and lined smoothly with white
thing. 1t was designed to show the
sanitary construction Of the Walling-
ham refrigerator. Orme remembered
how Tom had explained 1t all to him
on a previous visit to Chicago
This was merely storage chamber.
There was no connection with an ice
chamber, and there were none Of the
hooks and shelves which would make
it complete for its purpose. The only
appliance was the thermometer, the
coils Of which were fitted in flush with
the thing, near the door, and protected
by close metal grating. AS for the
door itself, its outline was fine seam.
There was handle.
AS the match burned close to his
fingers, Orme pulled out his watch.
was Twenty-Five minutes past five.
Darkness again.
Orme CROPPED his way to the door and
tugged at the handle The door would
not open; built with alright nicely,
it did not bulge in the least.
This was what Orme had expected.
He knew that Alcatrante would have
shot the bolt. He knew, too that AL
catrante would be waiting in the cor
ridor, to assure himself that the last
clerk left the Office without freeing the
prisoner-that all the lights were out
and the office locked for the night
Then he would depart, eXulting that
the papers could not be delivered; and
in the morning Orme would be re-
leased.
But had Alcatrante realized that the
chamber was alright? Surely he had
not known that the girl was already
there. The air that might barely suf-
flee to keep one alive until relief came
would not suffice for two.
There was not the least opening to
admit of ventilation. Even the places
where, in a practical refrigerator con-
nection would be made with the ice
chamber, were blocked UP; for that
matter, they were on that side Of the
chamber which was built close into the
corner of the office.
Orme drove his heel against the
wall. The tiles did not break. Then
he stepped back toward the middle of
the chamber.
Where are you. Girl?" he asked.
Here" she answered, very near
him.

portant letter from Senator Boies Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania, on the passport
question, and recommend that you give
it as wide publicity as possible. 1t is
important that all those who wish to
insure the passage of the resolutions
for the abrogation of the treaty with
Russia, now pending in Congress, fol-
low the suggestion of Senator Penrose
that Jewish organizations pass resolu-
tons, petitioning their Senators and
Congressman to help the cause.
Very respectfully yours,

JEW OFFERS BLOOD TO SAVE UN-
KNOWN NON-JEW.

Cleveland, Ohio.-A week or so ago
a man named John Wier lay dying in
Lakeside hospital
There is absolutely no hope for
him." the attending physician said,
except TRANSMISSION of blood Such
an operation may be the means of saw
ing his life"
The incident soon became noised
about the hospital, but not a person
who heard the story seemed to be
ready for the sacrifice when suddenly
Mr.. Morris Kirtz, of East Seventy
ninth street. became interested Mr..
Kirtz happened to be a visitor at the
hospital.
What is that these people are say
ing?" he asked.
"A man is on his death bed and the
doctor says TRANSMISSION of blood may
save his life"
Without asking anymore questions
Mr.. Kirtz stepped up to the surgeon in
attendance, took off his coat, rolled up
his sleeve, barred his arm and told him
to go ahead"
The operation was performed sue
cessfully, several ounces of Kirtzs
life fluid were taken from his arm,
transferred to the patient and Wier's
life was saved.
Wier is a Gentle and perfect
stranger to the man who saved his life
at the risk of his own.
Kirtz is a Jew, who until that mo-
ment had never heard of Wiers ex-
istence.

l have your letter of October 26th,
and appreciate the sentiments con-
tanned therein. l may add to what
1 have already said to the chairman
of the delegation of eminent Hebrews.
Hon. Mayer Sulzberger, that l shall
make it my personal business to push
the matter of the passport question
in Russia to a speedy and successful
conclusion for the benefit of our
American citizens, irrespective as to
what religion or race one may belong
to, and in the event of Russia refus-
ing to listen to our just demands l
shall consider it a sacred duty upon
myself to undertake to bring about
an abrogation of our treaty with Rus
STA until such time as Russia may
come to terms.
In the meanwhile l ask you to give
consideration to my suggestion of
having Jewish organizations take &C
ton upon this matter and have suita-
BILE resolutions passed petitioning
their respective Senators and Cong
ressmen to help this worthy cause.
/ believe your valuable newspaper
can be of considerable service in that
direction
Again assuring you of my positive
intentions to take up the matter
with the proper authorities at the
earliest opportunity, am with kindest
regards.
Yours truly,
