Hazard gave up in despair. Where
upon Miss Bertel, who had remained
silent but interested spectator, was
at once inspired. She rose and laid
sheet of paper on desk and handed
a pencil to the young man. Outside,
there was almost a constant roar from
passing elevated trains. She pointed
to the structure and motioned to the

Without demur the young man seat

the paper; but at once he reached out

stammered, mot without my-my-"
He suddenly broke off and shouted:
