Now. after a weeks coniinenlent in his cabin. he felt strong enough fV ven- ture out again and to attack his prob lens. They were personal problems now. much more intimate than before. for he was building not only the bridge but weaving in It's web of steel his own future happiness.
 Of course he had been able to get out on the rough porch of his galvan- ized iron shack where he had the bridge in full view, and the day before he had even walked unsteadily down to the river bank, where he had been equally surprised and delighted at the progress that had been made. Abbott was a driver after his own heart. Real ly things seemed to have gone on just as well without him as If he had been on the job. He had not been lonely in his illness, for all of the chief men con- nected with the construction had done their best to beguile the tedium of his hours by visiting him whenever they could spare the time.
 Abbott had been especially kind In his somewhat rough-and-ready way. The big construction superintendent was fond of Meade. although he un- dervalued him. He regarded him more as a theoretical than a practical man and the inevitable antagonism between the theorist and the practical man, when they are not combined In one per Snnality, was latent in AbbOtt's heart Nightly, he brought to Meade details of the progress of the work. That eve ning just before leaving, he remarked in the most casual manner in the world, as If 1t were a matter of little or no im- portance. that C-l0-R was a trifle out of line.
 Now C-10-R was the biggest membS of the great riCht-hand truss on the | north side of the river. IL consisted oi four parallel composite webs, each
Tombstone epitaph., 1917-06-03

formed of several plates of steel riv- eted together. These webs were con- nected across their upper and lower edges by diagonal latticing made of steel angle bars. C-10-R and its parallel companion member, C-10-L, In the left hand truss. carried the entire weight of the cantilc Ter span to the ,iIoy rest ing on the pier. These members were sixty feet long and five feet wide. The webs were over four feet deep and in size and responsibility the great struts were the most important of the whole structure.
 To say that C-10-R was out of line meant that 1t had buckled, or bent, or was springing. and had departed from that rigid rectangularity and parallel ism which was absolutely necessary to maintain the stability and immObility of the truss and the strength of the bridge. To the theorist nothing on earth could be more terribly DOT. tentous than such statement, if 1t were true. To the prac. tical man, who. to do him justice, had never dealt with such vast structures- and he was not singular in that be cause the bridge was unique on ac- count of its size-the Reflection noted meant little or nothing.
 Good God :" exclaimed Meade aflame on the instant with anxious ap- prehension. The night was warm and he was dressed in his pajamas and had been lying on the bed. As if he had been shocked into action he sf.t up, for getful of his weakness. "Defiection!" :" garded him with half-amused astonish- ment, "a camber in C-10-R? Why didn't you tell mer
 By this time Meade had got his feet into his slippers and was standing erect.
 Tt isn't enough to make any differ ence," answered Abbott quickly, per haps a little dIsdainfully.
 Tt makes all the difference on earth" cried Meade. "It means the ruin of the bridge"
 He reached for his jacket, hanging at the foot of the bed, and dragged It on him.
 Don't worry about 1t. youngster." said Abbott rather contemptuously, al- though he meant to be soothing. I'm going to jack 1t Into line and-here," he cried as Meade bolted out of the door, you'd better not excite yourself that way. Come back to bed, man, and"

In spite of herself the woman looked at hin.
 But now7 si.e whispered as he hes itated. and then she turned her head half fearful of his answer.

 ''I shall not gc back" she answered firmly.
 He stepped dcSn of the platform, and before she Suew what he would be at. he lifted her straight up in his arms. He dIi not carry her ike a baby. he held her erect. crushed against his breast, and before she had time to utter protest, or even to say a word. he started through the dusty roadway toward the bridgehead.
 It was a strange position. She knew she ought to protest, but the words would not come. Whilst she was try. ing to think them up. they had crossed the little desert that intervened be. tween the portal of the bridge and the end of the platform. Then he set her down gently.
 Thank you" she said simply. that was very nice of you. You are won. jerfully strong"

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He Had Accounted One That Had
 Been Told to Him.

Brown met Johnson the other morn ing hurrying along the street. The latter had a parcel under his arm. and Brown, always inquisitive, wanted to know what 1t contained.
 Well" said Johnson. 'if you must know. I've just bought pair of caiters very nice ones, tn0.'
 Where att" asked Brown.
 "Oh, I don't know the name. but it's a little shop just down that alley across there" said Johnson.
 'IIa-ha," laughed Brown. who al- ways liked his little joke. then they must be alley-gaiterS."
 This so tickled Johnson that he made up his mind that he must tell that to his wife. SO. on reaching home. he burst into thr room. and laughed until his wife thought he would never stop.
 She could not make out what on earth was the joke. so Johnson started to tell her.
 "Ha-ha. he-he. Oh. Tor such joke. just met Brown. and he asked me what I'd got in my parcel.
 "l told him I'd bought a new pair of legGings. but didn't know the name of the shop. but it was just down the court

Fall and Revelation.

Its rather confused in here" said the man, but We will soon get out toward the end and then the view Is magnificent. You can see up and down the river for miles and the night boat will be along in few minutes
 Isn't that i;?" asked the woman, pointing up the river to where q clus- ter of lights rounded a huge bend not Gar away, and swung out Iii midstream.
 Yes" said the man, Eff we listen I think we can hear her"
 They both stopped and, sure enough, faintiy across ite water came the noise of cisni.ine paddles of the big .1ver steamer. With that sound also mingled the song of the night wind, for a wonder comparatively gentle. making strange, weird harmonies as 1t dfted through the taut and rigid bars of steel She list tsned enchanted with the sound.
 The big LOT beams extended from me side .o the other Of the bridge, between the tru sses at intervals of fifty feet. At right angles to them and six feet apart. t.-e stringers ran length ways parallel to the trusses. Here and .nere pieces of timber falsework had been thrown across the stringers for the convenience of the wOrkmen. but as these two slowly moved toward mid stream ct last these pieces became fewer. ard finally there was nothing to be seen but the heavy floor beams

getful of his caution. Before he could complete his step or warn her of the danger, it now bent forward. IL tilted distinctly. In spite of herself, Helen lllingworth was carried still farther forward as she sought to regain her balance. The piece of steel began to slip downward, grating on the pile of beams as 1t moved: another second and 1t would be of and on its way ir- revocably.
 Meade threw himself at the girl. He lunged out and caught her just as she was slipping downward with the plate now almost perpendicular. To catch her he had to step to the very edge of the planking beyond which the rails ran naked on the ties.
 With tremendous effort he caught her by the waist, swung her up and in, and stood fast on the brink quivering. heavlng himself desperately backward as he sought to maintain his balance and take the backward step that meant safety.
 A wild shout rose from the steamer as the huge plate dropped. like the blade of mighty gulllotine, straight down through the air. If 1t had struck the boat. 1t would have cut through like a knife. Fortunately 1t cleared the gangway by inches. In a second 1t had disappeared. Screams. shouts. arose from the boat which promptly sheered or into midstream.
 Helen nllngworth's back had been toward Meade as he seized her. She had seen as he had everything thar happened. Recovering himself al last. he stepped back slowly. almost drag ging her, until they were a safe dis tance from the edge. His face was ghastly white in the moonlight. Sweat covered his forehead. He was shaking like a wind-blown leaf.
 ''The whole world went black when l saw you go" he said slowly.
 Do you care that muchT" asked the girl, trembling herself.
 There was no necessity for maIdenly reticence now.
 Carer said the man. "Carei"
 I'm all right now"
 You are more fortunate than I. stood to lose you, you stood 10 lose only life. Don't you see? Can't you understand?"
 Suddenly he swept her to his breast as this time she faced him. She was very near him and she did not make the slightest resistance. She had wait ed for this hour and she was glad. They had faced death too nearly for any hesitation now. She knew he loved her, and knew that he had saved her at the imminent risk of his own life. There had been swift yet eternal moments when IL seemed that both of them. trembling on the brink. would follow the downward rush of the gusset plate. Now as he strained her 70 him. she lifted her face to him, glad that she was tall enough for him tD kiss her with so slight bend of the head.
 There, under the great trusses of steel, amid the huge. gaunt. massive evidences of the power of the might, of the mastery of man, two hearts spoke 10 each other in the silence. and told the story that was old before the first smelter had ever turned the first ore into the first bit of iron, before Tubal Cain ever smOte the anvil; the story of love that began with creation, that will Outlast all the iron in all the hills of the earth-that is as eternal as it is divine!
 After that wild embrace, that first rapturous meeting of lips, he released

The pefleetion in the Member.

Three days after the departure of the Ilingworth party the young en- gineer fell i'll with follicular tonsiGtis, which is about the meanest small thing that can lay a strong man low. He fretted over his enforced absence from the work and in the end had to pay for that very fretting, for he got up too soon and went out too quickly, and was promptly forced to bed again as a con- sequence of his impatience.

 "rm quite calm now" he began, "that Is. I am as composed as any man could be who Is holding you in his arms. But If 1t had not been for me, you would never have been in danger. It was my fault. I should have made sure. shall never forgive myself"
 But If had not been in danger I might not now be here in your arms. And If were not here" she went on swiftly, too happy in her love to be mindful of anything else. T certainly would not he doing-this."
