Was It an Unlucky
Number?
By CLARISSA MACKIE
&&&&s&$$Q44
Giles Ellwood, fresh from his nntlvo
city of tlio progressive west, bounced
out of lite hotel bed and ran to tho
window. A. clatter of hoofs on tho ns
phnlt, tho citing of gonna, tho swift
rushing of electric vehicles, the glitter
of nrc lights on red and nickel, trail
ing plumes of black and whlto smoke,
and tho flro engines disappeared up the
avenue.
Tho westerner sat down on the edge
of tho bed and yawned sleepily. At
homo In his own city n flro was first
announced by the ringing of alarm
bolls that respectable citizens might be
informed of tho coming spectacle and
be on hand to witness the conflagra
tion. Inside his vest pocket was tho
list of box numbers at which ho was
in tho habit of glancing when tho bells
In tho towers brnyed forth the alarms.
Here In New York It was different.
The silent alarm system might havo
Its advantages, but It certainly de
prived Interested strangers from wit
nessing that much advertised attrac
tion a throe alarm Gotham flro.
Then, again, at home If ho was
without his trusty alarm card, all ho
had to do was to telephone to tho cen
tral telcphouo ofllcc and ask whero the
flro was. Did he daro do that In Now
York? Yet possibly n three alarm flro
watt eating up dollars within n half
dozen blocks of his hotel.
Ho snapped on the electric light, look
ed at his watch, saw that It was 2
o'clock and went to the telephone.
Thcro were two of these, ono that con
nected with tho hotel switchboard and
the other n long distance Instrument
He glanced at them and choso tho hotel
telephone.
"Number?" enmo In such sweet reply
that Ellwood reddened with sudden ex
citement. "Er-I don't want anybody thnt is,
will you pleaso tell mo where tho flro
Is?" he stammered.
"Why, it Is In tho hotel hero around
on tho Broadway side. There Is no
danger? It is under control now," said
tho volco sweetly, though rather wea
rily. "Thanks, very much," said Elwood
earnestly, nnd he reluctnntly hung up
tho receiver.
IIo tumbled Into bed. dazedly aware
that something strange had happened.
IIo could Bcnrcely define tho feeling
that prompted hhn to earnestly go over
In his mind his yearly Income nnd
wonder for tho first time- if ho could
afford tg marry on It. It was the first
tlinu ho had token that into considera
tion. Ellwood Inughed at his own folly and
fell nslcop, feeling very light hearted
over nothing In particular. When
morning caino and with It tho business
ho had prescribed for tho day he could
not drlvo from his recollection tho
volco ho had hoard in the night. IIo '
made up his mind to talk with her )
ngaln If possible.
After breakfast ho hobnobbed with
tho clork and professed a deslro to see
tho switchboard of tho house telephone
aorvlce. I
A double row of straight backed llg- j
ures with becoming black straps over
their varicolored heads rewarded hit
curiosity. Then It was that ho recol
lected that his particular volco must
bo on tho night shift, for ho had spo
ken with her at 2 o'clock that morn-;
ing. IIo determined to wander hotel
ward In the wee sma hours of tho next
morning.
Night came nnd with It the coveted
opportunity to enter Into some com-'
lnunlcatlon with the voice that had at-,
traded him. He looked aimlessly from
tho window and wished for another
flro. But fires are not mndo to order. I
ho ho took down the receiver, nnd his
mouth settled Into the IIiich of deter
mlnntiou that had been graven on his '
fuco. I
"Number?" camo her adorablo volco. I
"Oh-cun you tell mo whero the flro
Is?" ho asked frantically.
"Eire? I didn't know thero was one."
sho said rather wearily.
"Neither did I." blurted Ellwood. "I
thought thero might bo ono, you know." i
"Oh!" sho said crisply and cut tho
connection.
Ellwood leaned back In his chair, his
hand over his heart. Ho was frankly
worried. "I don't know but what I've
got heart trouble." ho muttered dubi
ously. "Can't bo my dinner, for I ato
cnrofully. and nothing but henrt trou
bio could cause such shortness of
breath and palpltntlon." Ho would
call the house physician and have his
heart examined nt once.
Hln order was received and unswered,
nnd presently tho doctor catno to his
room. Ho wns a tall, fair, ruwboned
individual who scanned tho fnco of his
patlout with a searching glance. "Good
ovonlug or, rntlier, inornlngl" ho snid
affably, "You nro in need of a doctor?"
Ellwood sank down on tho couch and
placed ii hand weakly on his heart. I
"It's hore," ho said. "I'm afraid it's
my heart."
Tho doctor camo over nnd sat be
side him, nnd, taking ono strong brown
hand in his doltcato whlto ono, ho felt
for tho pulse.
"What have you been eating?" ho
asked bluntly.
"Nothliig much," roturned Ellwood
Impatiently, "not ono ' indigestible
crumb today." ' ' "'
I "Been drinking nnj thing?" queried
tho Other.
"No, slreo," returned Ellwood. "I
cut out that years ngo."
Tho doctor was watching his face cu
riously, nnd a faint smilo curved his
thin lips.
"Who Is she?" he asked quietly, nnd
Ellwood had the grace to redden to
his eurs.
"I don't know," ho said shortly.
"Kind out nnd I'll guarantee a cure,"
assured tho physician as ho replaced
his stethoscope in its caso and tucked
hit feo in his pocket. "My ndvlco to
you is to keep as quiet as possible, cat
carefully, continue to drink nothing
and do your best to win tlwt young
lady. Good night."
Tho door closed after his form, and
Ellwood throw himself down on tho
sofa and laughed silently, though hap
pily. "By Jove!" ho muttered. "rt'M
going some to fall in love like that.
What's that?"
That was the samo clatter of hoofs
nnd ringing of gongs he hnd heard the
previous night. Ellwood flung himself
Into some clothes nnd slipped bis over
coat over nil. Then ho dnshed to tho
telephone nnd henrd her volco once
more.
"There Is a flro now," ho said ur
gently. "Will you pleaso tell mo where
It Is?"
Thero wns a little silence and then a
startled cry. "Why, It's In Ninety
eighth street. That's where I live. Oh,
dearl" sho ended In a little sob.
Ellwood thought rapidly.
"Can't you call them up and find
out? Haven't your folks got a tele
phono?" ho demanded.
"Wo Just moved in today, and it
Isn't installed. Oh, dear!" ner voice
was very low and sweet, and Ellwood
could fancy ho saw hor wringing llttlo
whlto hands in helpless ngony.
"Walt a llttlo while. Don't you
worry. I'm going to tho fire, nnd I'll
Inquire about your people," he reas
sured her. "I'll havo to havo your
nnino Just tho last one, you know."
"Lane," she snld gratefully, "and
thnnk you so much, Mr. Eliwood."
"I'll let you know as soon as I find
out," ho suld und was gone. In tho
street ho Jumped on a car and was
homo nortliwnrd to whore a red glare
shone against tho sky. As ho ncared
tho scene tho picture resolved itself
Into n flaming npartment house, streets
crowded with pedestrlnns and onlook
ers, u flro lino drawn sharply about the
building nnd a hordo of police.
Ellwood paused iu a doorway and
outlined n plan of nction. How could
ho got inside the fire lines? He
couldn't. Inquiring for the Lanes
among the excited peoplo who had
nueii unveil irom uieir Homes was
much llko searching for n needle in n
haystack.
Hi- noticed all at once that he was
standing In the doorway of another
apartment house, and ho glanced hnstl
ly at tho names over the letter boxes.
There It was Lane tho most beauti
ful name in the world. The Lanes
wore safe. She would bo delighted.
He took the number of the building
and hastened to the nearest subway
station and was dashed down to his
hotel. He rushed into the olllro and
spoke to the clerk.
"May I speak to Miss Lane, one of
tho telephono operators, on a matter
of Importance?" he stnmmered under
thnt young man's polite stare.
"Against tho rules." said the clerk.
"It really Is Important I will guar
antee that." urged Ellwood.
Tho clerk hesitated and. then relent
ing, sent Ellwood to the chief operator,
who proved to be n good nntured hull,
vldunl.
"Lane?" he queried. "Qh, thnt's
operator No. 13." Ho picked up a re
ceiver and spoko Into the transmitter.
"Send No. 13 to mo at once."
"Unlucky number, eh?" he grinned nt
Ellwood.
"Oh. I don't know! Sometimes thir
teen's a lucky number. It Is for me,"
remarked Ellwood. with an enlgmntlc
smile.
Just then the door opened and she
enme. deathly palo and trembling with
anticipation of some III news. Sho wns
all that Ellwood had droamed-durk.
petite and demurely lovely, with tho
sweetest contralto voice. Her brown
eyes sought ills fneo, anxiously.
"It's nil right." ho assured her. "I've
been up there and found the place
whero you live. Tho lire Is across the
Htreet. I took the number of your
house 1183. That right?"
"Oh, yes, and thank you so much.
Mr. Ellwood," she breathed rellovedly.
"It was Very good of you to tako the
trouble."
Tho chief oporator was across tho
room Intent on otllclnl business, nnd
Ellwood had n brief Instant In which
to look down into tho browu eyes that
were rapidly reducing his incipient
hoart dlsenso Into n chronic ailment.
"I'd llko to know you better, Miss
Lane. I wonder If I presented crcdon
tlals would your mother permit mo to
call."
"I think sho might," snld No. 13
gently as the soft color flowed back
Into her cheeks. "I will ask her. Of
course you nro not o stranger to tho
hotel people. Mr. Ellwood. Oh. I must
go. Good iiIbK"
Ellwood held her llttlo hand for tho
fraction of an Instant, and sho wns
gone. Ho floated down tho corridor In
an ecstasy of delight. Ufo was n rndl
nut, beautiful thing.
Tho hotel physician brushed against
hltn ns ho passed. "Feeling better?"
ho asked.
Ellwood nodded hnpplly. "Flue ns a
flddlo, and yet my caso Is lncurnble,"
ho said.
"Walt until you'vo been' married as
long ns I have." croaked the doctor
pessimistically as bo hurried nwny.
"I don't bellovo a word of It," assert
ed Ellwood Jubilantly. "It couldn't bo
hi my iu our caso.'1 . .
Eocentrlo John Und.rweod.
John Underwood, who died at Whit
tlesca, England. In 1783. loft some odd
instructions for bis burial. His fortuno
of 0,06o went to bis Bister, provided
that no bell was tolled nt bis gravo. no
rclatlvo followed his coflln and various
other arrangements wcro carried out
Six men only wero Invited nnd request
ed not to come In "black," who received
10 guineas each for their services.
Sorvlco over, an arch was raised over
the green painted coflln. with "Non
Omnia Morlar, 1733," inscribed on
whlto mnrblo. Tho six men sang tho
last stanza of tho twentieth ode of tho
second book of Horace Tho deceased,
who had been cotflned fully dressed, hnd
under his head "Sanndow's "Horace."
at his feet Bentley's "Milton," in his
right hand a Greek Testament and In
his left hand a small "Horace." Tho
six on repairing to his houso to a cold
repast had to sing tho thlrty-flrst ode
nnd drink a cheerful glass boforo retir
ing at 8 p. m. This done, directed tho
will, "Think uo moro of John Underwood."
Books In Ancient Rome,
it hns been pointed out thnt in old
Kotno books wcro actually produced
and sold more easily und quickly than
they aro in modern times. With Ills
trained stnff of renders und transcrib
ers, it is contended, nn ancient Roman
publisher could turn out nh edition of
uny work nt very cheap rates nnd al
most n moment's notice. Thcro was.
of course, no Initial oxpenso of type
setting boforo a slnglo copy could be
produced, no costly extras In tho form
of printer's corrections. Tho manu
script camo from tho author; tho pub
lisher handed it to his slaves, and if
tho book wero of ordinary dlmonslons
tho complcto edition could, It Is said,
bo rendy If necessary within twenty
four hours. Tho old Roman libraries
woro lmmcnso as well as splendid.
Plutarch says that tho library of Lu
cullus, who expended much of his mon
ey on books, "hnd wnlks, galleries and
cabinets open to all visitors." It was
proposed by Julius Caesar to open this
library to tho public Harper's.
Eating In the Fifth Act of Llfo.
Tho advico which Sydney Smith gave
to Lord Murray on tho subject of diet
wns probably sound. "If you wish for
anything llko happiness In tho fifth act
of life," ho wrote, "ent and drink one
hnff of what you could cat and drink.
Did I ever tell you my calculations
about eating and drinking? Having
ascertained tho weight of what 1
couw live upon so as to preserve
health and strength, nnd what I did
live upon. I found that between ten
and seventy years of ngo 1 had eaten
and drunk forty-four horse wagou
loads of meat and drink morp thnn
would have preserved me lu Ufo and
health. The value of this mass of
nourishment I considered to be worth
7,000. It occurred to me thnt I must
by my voracity, have starved to dentb
fully 100 persons. This is a frightful
calculation, but irresistibly true."
How a Woman Saved Nice.
It happened in August. 15)3, and h
recalled by Mrs. Walter TIbbits In
"Cities Seen In East and West" Nice
(then under tho dulcos of Savoy) was
being besieged by Francis I. nnd Bar
barossa:
Catherine Segurlne was a washerwo
man whose creed was laboraro est
oraro. She carried food to the defend

Turks hnd put up a scaling Indder
Tho captain led Ills party, nnd they
wore actually on tho parapet She
rushed at tho Turkish otllcer. wrenched
tho Hag he was carrying from him
bent him hack with the butt end nnd
threw down the ladder on top of all
Then, rallying the soldiers, they threw
open n postern, made a sortie anc
drove tho Turks to the shore.
