the coveted doll on the floor under
the trundle bed. He restored Betty
to Ruth. A glowing radiance in the
hallway warned Ned that he had no
time to lose if he would not be over
taken by the flames, and the stairway
route of escape cut off. A CLINT of
jewelry lying on bureau, however,
had caught his eye. Ned ran to-
wards it.
There was a pin he had seen Nellie
wear, and there lay her watch and
chain. He slipped these articles has
tily into his pocket. Some laces, pre-
cious to his heart because they. be-
longed to Nellie, followed.
Upon the stand where the lamp
stood, Nellie had apparently been
writing letter when the fire started.
She had abandoned little keepsake
memorandum book, a ring and a gold
mounted penholder Ned thrust these
also into the pocket of his coat. Then
he ran towards Ruth and snatched
her up in his arms. A hot blast swept
his face as he reached the corridor,
but he shielded the child as best he
could. Some way, although half suf-
located, he managed to get down the
stairs and into the open air.

you!" sobbed Nellie, as the little one
was brought to her.
Her hand clutched at that of the
rescuer with fervor. Her warm glance
thrilled Ned. He hurriedly handed
to her some of the articles from his
pockets all of them, he thought.
Neighbors cared for the family now
and the fire wagon finally saved about
half of the building.
A telegram was received by Boyd
next morning, calling him back to the
city. Ned did not go with him. He
promised to go on the evening train,
