to her as she went up the stairs Satur-

him. All at once she felt great bitter

old country, OF the beautiful lakes OF
Killarney and the lifting glory Of the
hills around them. 1t seemed like an
other world to Tess from this narrow
street filled with crowding Italian chill

and shops below Blocker street,
She was thinking Of this, hating her
work, her companions, Telka's sleek,
dark head, the sound of the machinery.

"Bosss got soft heart, guess, on &C.
count of the picnic. What you going to

Tess scowIed. 1t was on the tip OF
her tongue to say she wasn't going.
The clock over her head said ten min
utes to II. She caught up her last load
OF boxes and started for the inclosed
wooden stairs. And half way down
she saw little curling feather of
smoke. 1t was ever SO slight, hardly
noticeable, only whenyou work in a pa
per box factory you grow to see such
things very quickly. In ten minutes
or less 1t would eat its way through
and the wood partitions would blaze up
like match wood. Tess started at it,
and then went deliberately on down
to the second floor

the strangest, most wonderful thrill to
know how she held the fate OF the
whole factory in her hands. OF course
they would get out in time. She just
wanted to give them "a goot. scare. All
the time her last lot Of boxes were be.

looking at the clock, counting minutes.
Five, six, seven. Suddenly she turned
and ran for the stairs. Levinsky called
after her that the door was locked,
shed have to use the freight elevator if
she wanted to go up. But that red nair
was not without its own significance
Tess reached the little fire alarm box
by the door and before any one could
stop her She had smashed the glass
and turned the key aTound.

fear of the paper box worker. ipnd the
stairs were filled with the peril OF

that drove them back. Toms voice
above all called them to the freight
elevator, and Tess was leading them
like lot of sheep to safety, when she
missed Telka. She went back into the
smoke just as the firemen came on
run
1t was Tom who found her, still grip
