John Chalmers looked at Ills watch, the watch his father had given hlni the day he was 21. "Eight-thirty," he muttered, and closed the case with a sharp click. He stared at his desk, at the papers In confusion, at the overturned waste basket nnd the litter on tho floor. Then he went to the window and open ed It. The night was dark and the east wind Mew noftly. The sky was sprinkled with stars that seemed strangely near. Far below the street lamps trailed away In orderly rows. The night wos oppressively quiet. He turned backj A peculiar sound caught his eiirs. It was a rapid click ing that came from beyond the north wall (Of the room. "It's the girl at the typewriter," he muttered. "Those fellows don't spare her. But she doesn't seem like the complaining sort. I never saw her when she wasn't looking bright and cheerful. I wonder what she finds in life?" And because lie had found, very lit tle In life, he kicked the wastebasket viciously and flung himself into his desk chair. He was 31, a young man who had Brown old in experience and had tired of the game. His castles had gone crumbling, his hopes were withered, his faith in himself was wrecked. He hod thrown up his hands in surren- Anr. Out of the little fortune he had won by his shrewdness and daring, there was a handful of dollars left. But he didn't fear poverty. He had his health, he had his hands, he was big nnd strong and he had his quick brain. There was no question about his ability to keep the wolf from the. door. But he couldn't bring himself to the thought of working for a mas ter, he had always been so free, so In dependent. But no, he was tired of It all. He had played his cards end lost. He was down, he was humiliated, he was glad to quit. Kor two nights he hadn't slept, but there was a long sleep ahead of him. And the busy typewriter beyond the north wall clicked on. "I fancy I've been too much alone," he muttered and a little wave of self pity ran through his mind. "If I had married," he paused with a short laugh. "That girl's . pleasant face is making me sentimental. I wish I had spoken to her this morn lag when her skirt caught in the elevator door. How prettily ihe thanked me." He looked around. "I'd like to leave her some thing," he murmured. "What shall it be? When a man Is making his will he can't be too careful. I wonder If she'd care for that paper weight? It was cut from a mummy case In old Egypt. It's thousands of years old, if Battersby is right. I'll put it on her door sill with my card. 'For the girl with the cheery face.'" He laughed again and then looked at his watch. "Guess I've settled up everything," he said. "No man will be the poorer for my going, and no man will be the better If I stay." He arose and cross ed to the window. "I've only to drop from this." he slowly muttered. "Twelve stories. No doubt I will be dead before I reach the pavement," Ho peered down at the twinkling lights far below. "Ever since I was a boy great heights have fascinated me. They seem to draw me with invisible hands. I have had to clutch at some thing to save myself from that fatal lure. The Invisible hands will fret me at last." He paused and the typewrlttr click ing was heard again. "I'll put the puper weight ut her door" he said, and turned and pUVod Up the polished cube and started for the door. He uvung !i open a.id slipped into the hall. As he did Kp a puff of gray smoke crime up the le vator shaft. "What's that?" he filed, and ran to the Iron gates. A stronger p- ff MiuJe him in the face. He drew bac k coupr, lnif and gasping. For a moment he heiJuted. Then he ran to the narrow "Saved as by Fire" stairway at the end of tbe hnll. The 1 smoke was puffing up there, too. In a second he was back at the door of the room adjoining his own. Ho could hear the clicking typewriter within. He rapped deliberately. The clicking stopped. There was a mo ment of hesitation. Then the door was opened by the girl. She started at sight of John Chalmers. "I beg your pardon." he said, "for filarmlng you, but I'm afraid the building Is on flre." "On fire!" she echoed. As If to con firm his words a tresh puff of smoke whirled through the elevator door. The girl's face pn'cd. "There Is no cause for Immedlato alarm." said John quietly. "What are we to do?" the girl asked. "We can do nothing but wait," he answered. "The fire seems to have Rallied some headway. We can't get through that smoke on the stairs, and the new lire escnpo has only reached the sixth story. No doubt the firemen are on their way and we will soon be relieved." She was watching his fac as he spoke. Now she faintly smiled. "I will put away some papers," she said, "and get my Jacket." He hurried to the elevator doors ngaln, but the smoke drove him bnck. He could see the white walls of the shaft slowly reddening. As he re treated his eyes caught sight of a coll of rope on the floor In a corner. He remembered why It was there. Just the day before a steeplejack had paint ed and glided the flagstaff on the tow ering structure and the row was part of his apparatus. John Chalmers caught ui the coll and dragged it to his room and flung It through the door. "Come," he said to the girl. She quickly obeyed him. "Well?" she said. "Come into my room. It Is a llttlj farther from the i-haft. 'this smoke is getting unsuppertabie. We must bar it out." She fallowed hlin ;nto hip 100m and he closed the door and pushed the win dow a little higher. "Hark," he said. The clang of bells below could be heard. He leaned out. "The apparatus Is coming from nil di rections," he said. "Ah!" There was a crash of glass and a puff of smoke from a window several stories below. "What was it?" the girl called. "The fire seems to be on the seventh floor," he answered. "The heat Is breaking the glass." He went to the door and opened It a little way. Then he closed it quick ly and came back and leaned again from the window. "They are getting the ladders up," he said. "They are breaking In the windows." He spoke quietly as a mere specta tor might speak. He must rot alarm WITH A STEADY AVI) POWKRKUL PU1.I.. the girl. He rea'dzed that they were penned in this tall tower like trapped rats. Would help come? If bo, It must come soon. Suddenly the lights went out. "That was to be expected," he said calmly. The room seemed very dark. The girl came closer. The smoke was getting dense. "May I may I take your hand?" she timidly asked. "Why, yes," ho answered, and their hands met in the darkness. "You do not tremble," said the girl. "Are you not afraid?" "I am afraid of nothing save my self," he murmured. "I do not want to die," said the girl. "There is my mother, you know. She would be left quite alone." The man ground his teeth. He turned to the window, still holding fast to the slender hand, and looked down across the sill. "They have run tip an extension lad der," he said. "It's Just beneath us. They don't dream there is anybody on these upper floors." He leaned far out and gave a hoarse shout. "Hi! below thtre!" He paused. "A fireman on the ladder is looking up. He sees me! He Is pointing me out. They are shift ing the searchlight. The crowd sees me. Listen." A faint roar came from the Ftreet. "The firemen are waving their hats to me. They mean cour age. Here," he suddenly turned to the girl, "take my place for a moment They must not think I haye sue cunibed. Careful. Careful. Not too rp.r. There, they see you. Another hoarso roar came from the street The girl, with the searchlight flaring upon her, waved her hand to the crowd below, and another deep roar came up. John Chalmers was drugglnr tlu co l o' rope to the window. Then he I'ropi td it on tiie floor and ran to the desk. He drew a match from his pocVct end. lir'iting It, snatched up a sli'ct cf i- r and scribbled half a do'. :i words. I!e fastened his me khm "o the end of the rope with a ru''. 'r bnrid and quickly paid out thn co ! I ) watched It with an eager I T .'as the rope long enough? ' .' ' he c ried. "It reaehe i the r.rt :'..., as ' aught It." I In kno"ed t! end -f the tope about a chair I'-'j and I'.ung off bis coat. The until of burning wood was ptrong In ti: room. TJie smoke forced Its way about the door. There vai Ei&$t mil, t ""'V Tji ft'"".,,- .- .... .J ' : dull ted glare throngh the transom. John caught up the rope again and peered flown. "They are coming w!th extra hose." he cried. "There, there, they are fastening the rope to It. Hurry, lads, hurry. They are waving their hats to nie. Yes, yea, I understand. With a steady and powerful pull he. drew In the rope. Hand over hand h.5 drew It In. And below the ladder the firemen passed up the hose passed It up with trained muscles, swiftly ard steadily. John did not waste Ms strength. Ho knew that the weight would sorely tax his bnck and arms. But he had been the strong man of his clins at collepe, nr.d he was glad to feel that his muscles were gamely responding to the s'raln. Heavier and heavier grew the burden. He clenched hU teeth and drew the rope foot by foot. And as he labored he breathed a thankful prayer that he had unwit tingly prepared himself for the emer gency, and that now he was meeting It like a man. His back was sorely cramped, h!a arms ached in their sockets, a red mist swam before his eyes, and then with a final pull he brought the brass noz zle within reaching distance and clutched It and with a mighty effort drew It across the sill, and so Into the room. And from the street below came another hoarse cry. Coughing and half strangliiiR, for the smoke was getting more and more dense, John hauled In the hose until It reached close to the closed door. "Now," he cried to the girl, "lean from the window and wave your arms to the men below. Make them under stand that you want the water. Make them understand." The girl obeyed. John crept to the door and flung It open. Then he threw himself on tho hose with a stout grasp on the nozzle, and his head close to the door, and waited. The hall was gray with smoke, and flames were darting through the ele vator Ironwork. Above the elevator shaft the red tongues of fire were run ning here and there. In a moment, It seemed as if the whole Interior of the hnllway might be filled with a roaring flame. "Do they understand?" he cried. The girl heard him. "Yes, yes, I think they do," she an swered. "Wave your arms again." Thi girl leaned out. "Do they answer?" "They are shouting up to me. 1 can't hear what they are saying. They are holding the hose tightly ngainst the ladder. Yes, yes, the water Is coming." John put his body upon the hoso and, lying prostrate, waited. Then the hose suddenly stirred like a living thing and the water gushed from the nozzle. It was not a pow erful stream the height was too great but little by little the force In creased, yet not enough to Imperil John's firm grasp on the nozzle. And now he was directing the heavy flow through the open doorway against the blazing woodwork. Round about the hallway the torrent flew and scat tered and scraped. With a mighty ef fort John drew the hose forward a llttlo farther and, elevating the nozzle. swept away the flames that were creep ing about the woodwork above the shaft. This was not done In a moment. The fire was stubborn and let go Its hold slowly. The girl came close to John and dropped on her knees beside him. Somehow he felt her presence. "Are you there?" he asked. "Yes." He drew a quick breath. "You're fine," he said. "Not a whimper, not a tear. I didn't suppose there was such a girl." "Do yen know why I have been so brave?" Fhe asked. "It Is because you are with me. You encouraged me, you gave me strength, you gave me hope. I didn't dare to be weait and foolish. Yon were so cool, so qul"t, so strong. What a power for good n nan like you can be!" There was a little silence, and the steady stream swept about the hall and drove a river of water down the shaft. "The danger Is quite over, I think," he presently oa!d. "No doubt the fire men have conquered the fla.nes be low." The girl still knelt beside him. "I-I can't thank you for whatyou have done," she said, with a sudden break In her voice. "Don't try," he interrupted. "You don't owe me any thanks. If you hadn't been here I wouldn't well, I wouldn't have had any Incentive to to do what I have done. You have taught me a lesson perhaps I'll tell you some time what It Is. There, that's all the water we can put tp use ex cept a little for our grimy faces. Will you wave your arms again to the boys below?" The girl ran to the window and looked down. A wild cheer greeted her. She waved her arms and pres ently the water was shut off John arose from his cramped posi tion ami stretched himself and walked about a little. Then he splashed through the water and raised the hall windows and let out the smoke. The ky lightened and the moon !ird risen, and the upper floor wn no '.uugei wrapped In gloom. Jc.bn looked at his watch. "Nine o clock," he said. "A pretty lley twenty minutes." i r,o)ie, said the girl, "that mv mother will not worry. If she hears about the fire It will greatly alarm her. And If I am late she will be very anxious." John turned suddenly. I m going to take you home," he sa'd. "And If there are any explana lioMi ;o make you can rely on me to .nako them." There was a heavj step on the stair way. A fireman with a lantern arose iroin tbe depths below. Me raised his lantern above his head n he tm forward. "Oh. there you are!" he cried. Ho 'el the luntei n shine on the grimy and bedraggled man and thrust out hi hand. How are you. brothurT" he Mid. with a coarse laugh. John laughed as he gripped the btg hand. "Fine." he answered. "But here, I want you to know my asslstnnt fore man." And tho fireman and the girl grave ly shook hands. "Cilad to know yon, ma'am." said the big fireman. "There's nothing too good In the department for either of you." y looked at John admiringly. "You're n bunch of muscles, all right," he said. "We didn't any of us believe you'd get the hoso to the wlniw." He turned nnd threw tho light about. "You certainly saved the roof." he cried. "But there, you'll want to go clown now, no doubt. The flre was on the seventh floor and up here. It made a pretty clean sweep. But you can get down to the sixth floor, all right. You'll And the lights still burn ing there, and you can wash up and the elevator man will take you the rest of the way. And you want to look out when you reach the street there's a crowd there ready to eat you up." A few moments Inter they were on '.he stairs. "And to think," said the girl, a little hysterically, "that a half hour ago you and I were strangers and might never have met." "And might never have met," ho gravely echoed. "And row I seem to have known you for such a long while. Life Is very strange at times. Isn't It?" "Yes," John replied. "But It's worth living." And she laughed lightly, and her laugh wns ns pleasant as her pretty voice. John looked bnck at her, but she could not see his face because the stairway was dark. "Yes." he said, "life Is worth liv ing." W. U. Rose, In Cleveland Plain Dealer. ONE OBSTACLE TO KICHES. Iceman's Inolillltr to I'lrase Evrrjr. body Una Knit lllru Poor. "I could have got rich long ago," said the Ice man, "only for just one thing," according to the New York Sun. "You know what Sam Weller said at the trial of Bardell against Pick wick, when Sergt. Buzfus asked him 'Have you a pair of eyes, Mr. Weller? Yes, I have a pair of eyes,' replied Sam, 'and that's just it. If they wos a pair o' patent double-million magni fy In' gas microscopes of hextra power perhaps I might be able to see through a flight o' stairs and a deal door, but beln' only eyes, you see, my wlslon's limited.' "I might say with Sam, 'And that's just it." Now, If I had seventy-eight pairs of arms and seventy-eight palr of legs and seventy-eight horses and wagons, why, then I might be able to deliver Ice to everybody Just when they wanted It, but as It Is K can't be done. "You see. they all want tholr lco at the same hour, and when you como to consider that I deliver Ice In Umpty-ump street and Steenty-sti "th street and various other streets cover ing a considerable territory, with many of my customers blocks apart, you see that to deliver Ice to all ol them at the same time would make It up Into a tolerably difficult sort of proposition, but that doesn't make any difference to my customers. They all want their Ice when they want It. " 'Iceman.' the lady says to me down the dumbwaiter shaft when I get around to her house the best I can do, at a quarter past 10, and I think that's doing pretty well. 'Iceman,' she says, 'I told you I wanted my lea at 8 o'clock.' "Then I try to explain to her that I'm doing the best 1 can to get It to her at that hour, bat " 'Well.' she snys, '1 want my Ice at 8 o clock, and If you can't bring it then I shall get another Iceman.' "Very likely she does, and you see if I lost all such customers and didn't gain any, why, my Ice would melt In the wagon and pretty soon I wouldn't have any customers at all or next to none because the number of customers that a man can deliver lee to all at the same time Is really very small. "Of course It doesn't work out Just that way. I lose this customer, but then I gain another who Is dissatisfied with her Iceman, and bo we keep along with losses and galnb about even Just keep along, but that's about all. If I had a hundred pairs of arms and a hundred pairs of legs and so on so as I could deliver to a hundred cus tomers nil at the same ti,rae, keeping all my new customers and never los ing an old customer, why, then I'd be doing something, what? But being as I have only one pair you see my de livery power's limited. "That's the only thing that has kept me from making a fortune." Ilueb iter '.rpprlln!
