 He took two steps at a bound several bcunds-then the stairs caved in and precipitated him face down. ward in the room below.
 He remained where he had fallen. He awoke to see angels flutterng about, him. One was looking down in his face and bathing it with deli ciously cool water. It was-yes he must have been dead a long while.- it was Gladys, whom he would have married but for old Man Fuller's interference. Well, she had come to him, even though she had to pass through all eternity to do so. He closed his eyes for a moment to think,
 Then he opened them again and glanced at other faces. Yes, he was certain now he was dead. There was the Johnson two-year- old, unmarked, as he had seen him last-mute evil spirit of the child-for had he not been searching for the child's charred body? And-he blinked and wondered if he was in heaven after all--and if so--what was Old Man Fuller doing there? He raised upon one elbow and grcaned.
 "What-what-whe am I?" he demanded in none too strong tones I-died-and-"

 The simplicity of it told the tragedy of miscalculation-Joh searching for his wife, who could have saved herself-the mother searching for her babe that she did not know was rescued There was something awful in the death of the two. It put hor TOT in his heart of-death.
 And-thet thought grasped him in it's pitiless embrace--he had been en route to Fullers house with a loaded weapon in his hands. He felt for it and found that it was gCne-lost in the incinerator, perhaps-since the front of his shirt was burned away.

NEED OF EVERY GIRL
Ky SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A mother with three daughters was bemoaning her fate-how much she is in debt because of their eXtrava- gances adn how she is at her wits end to know just what to do. It seems that the family was in affluent circumstances: in fact. quite wealthy. The girls had gone to boarding school and had the where withal to do as they pleased, the mother and father indulging their every behest.
 The school which these girls at tended taught them mainly how to enter drawing room, what to do when visiting friends and how to con duct ones self on various occasiC ms, and etc.,-in short. how to be socially ladylike.
 When the father died the family pelled. Woe unto this family. These girls with their acquired tastes wanted them satisfied. They did not seem to realize that the goose that had laid the golden eggs was gone and they kept worrying their mother t1 do this and that and the other thing.
 Many a time when they wanted to go to social functions and in order to keep up appearances the mother had to sell some fine piece of silver-the same old story. And now it seems there is not much more left with which to part and there are the three girls on her hands with all their cry ing, whining needs.
 It never occurred to these young women that one way out of this situa- ton is to get jobs and save their mother suffering and sorrow as we'll
 Such girls will doubtless find some men who are willing to exchange mo ney bags for "a good family" They will likely then bring up children and send them in the same path that they travelled themselves.
 All of which is to say that the main
