/ was having all 1 could do to
keep my feet upon the floor. I was
afraid that John Meredith would in
some way get his iron shoe entangled
in something and we would both go
down. But he seemed to have the
strength of two men. Slowly but
surely he forged ahead, holding me
safely in his arms. When he reached
a.. breathing space he turned and
called to Jerry, who was little way
behind fighting frightened men like
a demon. Hathaway" he called,
bring my sister over here. My sec
rotary and / will care for her and
Judy. You, then. can give all your
care to Miss Riley"
1 was proud of John. He looked In
deed what he had proclaimed him.
self-a god-he lowered above the
crouching men, and as they came
near me in their frenzied intent to
get out, he felled them to the floor
as calmly as thoukh they were nine
! pins and then with one arm about
me he would reach down and pull
them up, cowed and ready to do his
bidding.
/ did not know there were so many
people in the restaurant. The room
seemed damned. learned afterward
that all those from the kitchen, as
well as from the private dining room.
had rushed in at the first explosion.
Jerry and Johns secretary fought
themselves up to where we were
standing with the girls safely in their
care. John pushed them in front of
him. Make a flying wedge" he
said, land / will tackle any one who
tries to get within your guard"
BY a wonderful exhibition OF
strength, John began pushing me
ahead of him as rapidly as possible,
but I noticed with great pride that
he never jeopardized any other man
or woman in his anxiety to get me
out.
Volumes Of smoke from some
where began clouding the air. It
seemed to me that fate was laughing
at our flight. John found time to
bend down to where my head was
lying on his breast and say: Judy,
darling, this is the most triumphant
moment Of my life. I am carrying,
actually carrying to safety, just as
any other man would, the woman I
love. 1t makes no difference IL I
have crippled arm and foot. IL my
other arm and foot are strong
enough to do the work. And they
will be, Judy, don't you be. afraid"
II am not afraid. John. I know
If it be humanity possible for any ore
to get me out of here you will do It
and If
Don't say It,. Judy. don't say It.
In just minute more We'll be out
