cending fire tongued the heavens while
every man. woman and child Of Dash

raced for the spot. Even Mayor Mum
shaw managed to Join a hastily formed
fire brigade and assist in passing wa
ter to men on the depot roof. In the
thick OF fire and smoke he worked
valiantly And when he emerged from
the ruins before the flnal collapse no
one would have recognized the mayor
Of Dashville. His luxuriant beard was
no more. Fire had ruthlessly moved
IL to his chin. His patriarChal dignity
had departed.
The bucket brigade stood back and

Norris. June was frightened. She
wanted someone to remain at her
side and look closely after her welfare.
So Tom accepted the Office. They
turned their backs on the FIRE and
slowly sauntered toward the depopu-
lated town. Never had Tom seen June
more charming. Her gown was like .
bit Of midsummer sky trimmed with
faeecy cloud. Her blue eyes were lu-

were tempting sweet but when he

"A cyclone!" he shouted and caught

time for delay. Swift danger swept
away his temerity. He forgot that he
was but struggling bank clerk and
June the daughter Of Dashville's
wealthy mayor. Like any knight Of
medieval times he was rescuing his
lady fair from impending death, death
from rampant cyclone. And. unlike
the valOrous knight Of old who WELD.
ed spear in defense Of his love. he
was forced to the ignominious device
of seeking a cellar. 1t would be the
only spot respected by the destroyer.
With vicious lunge he burst in the
door Of the nearest house that offered
basement protection and leaped down
the cellar stairs. The next moment
there came grinding roar as il the
very universe was being uprooted and
flung to the raging winds. Terrified,
June clung to her lover while he free
ly uttered the long delayed words
Of endearment. In that supreme mo-
ment their meeting lips sealed their
troth. Then they became aware that
the destroying agent had passed, leav-
ing desOlation in its wake. The house
above them was gone, revealing a
lurid sky. About them were strewn
the ruins of a razed village. Dash
Vile was mainly kindling wood and
scattered stone.
Dust-begrimed, disheveled but ab-
surdedly happy the two climbed from
the cellar and sought the mayor The
station where Tom Norris owned prop
erty was unscathed. It was fortunate.
ly at one side of the path of the ruin
that included the Munshaw residence
and over half the town. He would
offer refuge to his future father-in-law
and at the same propitious moment
ask his daughters hand in marriage.
They met dismayed residents search
ing among the debris for shattered
homes yet thankful for their lives.
The Fourth of July picnic had saved
them. But for the gathering at the
grove many would have been caught
in crashing buildings and perished.
Finally the mayor. or what was left
CT him, loomed in view.
Papa cried June when she recog-
nized the wreck of her once spic.and-
span parent, tom saved me! Carried
me into a cyclone cellar! But what.
ever happened to you?"
"Nothing's happened to me-" testify
declared the foremost citizen of Dash.
