these she started to return to the field
but to her horror she saw the fire sweep,
ing down the creek bank where the grass
was very rank, Flames leapt high in
the air and she could feel the warmth
from them as she ran along, her
precious papers and books in her hand.
I've got to make that creek" she
muttered, her lips tightly closed. But
the fire was coming madly, and the
creek seemed to be very long way off.
On and on went Polly, the smoke blind
ing and checking her, and the heat from
the fire coming stronger and fiercer
Charlie and little Glen could see the race,
and Charles heart stood still, while
little Glen began to cry from fright,
As young as he was, he knew his sister
was in some terrible danger and he loved
her like little mother.
Charlie ran towards her, but she saw
him and screamed for him to keep on
safe ground. Then, with eyes closed
against the terrible smoke and her lungs
so full of it that she was unable to get a
breath, she made one last, great effort
and reached the creek. Into it she
plunged, falling on her knees and
thrusting her head beneath the water.
But all the time she held the books and
papers up above the water.
Then she jumped up and made plunge
for the opposite shore, catching her
breath now, for bend in the creek had
led the fire away from her and allowed
the wind to reach her without smoke or
intense heat. A few more steps and she
was on the plowed field, stumbling, then
falling.
Charlie was soon at her side, assisting
her to rise. She was too exhausted to
stand, and remained sitting on the ground.
Glen, now quiet again, came and threw
his baby arms about her, and kissed her
on the cheek. Little muver, he sad
in his sweet baby way, Il wants big
muver and daddy"
Big muver and daddy will be here

though everything else is gone
And Polly, brave, capable Polly, spoke
the truth. When Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers
came hurrying home-for they had got
ten news Of the fire while in own-they
found their three treasures safe and
sound on the field, which had recently
been plowed for fall sowing. All around
them lay burnt waste Of ground, and
not house or shed or fence was left
to tell where their habitation had been.
But they both shed tears of joy as they
clasped their little ones to their breasts,
and when Polly handed to her father his
private papers and books, he took both
her hands and said to her in unsteady
tones: God bless my thoughtful Polly.

And in d certain village in Western
State that same Polly Rogers, girl of the
prairie, still lives. And many times

quite content to remain in the field with

he HEARD The C. 0. D.
Wireless Operator on the Mount
Temple Tells His Story.

st. John, N. B., April 26.-J. Dur
rant, Marconi wireless operator on
the steamship Mount Temple, tells the
following story of the wireless calls he
picked up from the sinking Titanic:
Il was lying in bed reading with
the telephone over my ear at 12 II,
New York time. when 1 caught the
first call Immediately getting out
of bed, 1 answered. asking the posi-
ton of the ship. This was sent back
with the addition, Come at once, have
struck berg
LAS soon as I got the message I
notified the captain, who doubled the
watch of firemen below, called all
course toward the position of the III
tanic. Then went back to my instru
ment. I did not call the Titanic again
because other ships, which I judged
not wish to jam them At 1921 I
heard the Carpathia answer the &C.
Q. D. calls of the Titanic and at 1924
I heard the Frankfurt answer.
All this time the C. Q. D.. mes
sage was being sent out necessarily
and at 1:O6 1 heard the Olympic an
swer the call. To this steamer the
Titanic said:
Captain says get your boats
ready. Going down fast by the head
Five minutes later the Frankfurt
struck in with, Our captain will go
TO you
''At 1921 the Olympic sent another
message which the Titanic answered,
saying, We are putting the women off
in the boats
Another five minutes of anxious
waiting passed when the agonizing C.
Q. d. again cut the air, accompanied
by the words, Engine room flooded
Six minutes afterward the Olympic
sent a message to the Titanic which
the latter barely acknowledged by the
code letters RID That was the last
I heard.
1T was $40 a. m. when we arrived
at the position of the Titanic, having
been much delayed by the ice. At
that time we saw no sign of the ill
fated ship nor any wreckage- About
40 minutes later we saw the Carpathia
and Californian, with the Russian
steamer Birma. There was also a
tramp steamer cruising about.
LAS soon as I saw the Carpathia I
asked for news of the Titanic, but got
no reply. Other ships asked the same
question, but she kept silent to all. 1t
was not until $50 that the Carpathia
gave out anything and then the only
information was that she had picked
up 20 boats.
at the time I received the first
message I would judge the Mount
Temple to be so miles from the I'll
tanic's position and when the big ship
went down there was still 20 or 25
miles between u.s."
