He bit leisurely into large. buttered
rather surprised, Why, Id be stiff
with stage fright if l had to be in IT.
His mother pushed her own plate
away, hardly touched. 1T was foolsh'
she knew, but Martha Lanes words
had cut to the quick. She felt that she
would be too ashamed to ever attend
another meeting of that aid society.
And she stayed away from the next
two meetings, pleading sickness ana
housecleaning. But the coming enter
tainment engrossed every ones atten-
ton, and her absence was not re-
marked on.
Richard got her a ticket. Seat right
down in front" he told her. with as
much enthusiasm as he ever showed
over anything, 80 you can see She
fingered it bitterly, half decided not 10
so. But in that case every one would
wonder. might even guess. She put on
her best dress and went, her heart
bitter vail of resentment at the tri-
umphs of others. Throughout the even
ling she held her hands tight clinched,
but kept a stiff. set little smile on her
face. Mrs. Howard clapped her HANDS
till her kid gloves split. Jims Jlngles
brought roars. Eddie Cullom was
called back again and again. Mrs.
Cullom tried hard not to beam with
pride Dick Lane swung over the
stage with arlomb, and Mrs. Hoover
caught a glimpse of Richard in the
wings waiting. in overalls and old coat,
to help off the furniture of the second
act.
Her eyes misted with hurting, not
tears She couldn't help it. She half
rose to leave her seat She saw heads
turned curiously her way. but she
didn't care.
And then no one had time to look
inr a . a
but a tongue of flame that ran from
painted tree to paintedN vine, Ieapeo
threateningly at the audience. hckeu
iravenously at paper rosebush.
There was one hoarse. united scream
Mrs Hoover stood stockstill. She saw
the frightened singers on the stage
huddIe together. terrified into inacttoh
The audience screamed and plunged IN
a body toward exits, carrying her
along. But she looked back long
enough to see some one rush out pro-
peliing a huge, square. wooden board
and showing it at the licking flame.
She struggled to get back. to cry out
to Richard to save himself. but the
far-mad ddened crowd carried her on in
spite of her fighting.
No one was hurt. The hero had
checked the flame just the thirty sec
onds necessary to let every one escape;
and escape thev did just as the fire
licked wrathfuily after their flying
forms.
Richard sneaked away from the
praise that the town poured out on
him Eut he looked rather wistfully
at his mother Something in that visit
ful look told her that in the past Rich
ard had not been altogether stolid. She
wondered
But she sewed proudly at the next
meeting of the aid society. while DICK
lanes mother and Eddie Cullom's
mother and Jim Howards mother said
thankfully again and again. Wasn't it
lucky that Richard happened to be the
stron gest young man in town? For no
one else could have carried that huge
board.
