The stars were diamondlike in their brilliancy. Everything was frozen up— th e wheels creaked on the snow. The hotel was crowded w ith guests. N o t more than tw o or three of tlie hun dreds of rooms were unoccupied. A be lated traveler, w ho had been on a w eath er bound train, came in at 1 o’clock, tired and cold. He ordered a fire in his room and then w ent to the bar for a drink. A few minutes Liter he stepped into the boy’s elevator and was carried to th e top floor. The great honse was quiet. Most of the lights in the otfice had been extin guished. Two night owls were talking in low tones on one o f the settees which lined the w alls of the lobby. Tlie bell boys were most of tliem asleep. The clerk w as drowsing. Two o’clock! The night owls got np and walked out into the cold air. A drunken man poked his nose in the door. The sleeping porter seemed to scent him. for h e hustled the p oor fellow out. The quiet deepened till it became al m ost oppressive. The air was heavy w ith it. Suddenly, w ithout a note of w arning, the cry of “ F irel\ rang through the house. There was life enough now. Scantily clad people w ere scurrying wildly through the smoke filled corri dors. They came plunging down the stairs to the oflfice, and so out into the freezing night. Shrieks and curses and groans a n d prayers—it w as Babel broken loose. All the bells in the house were ringing. The smoke grew denser, it seemed to come from everywhere—above and below. G reat b lack volumes rolled through the long halls. Outside, the streets were jam m e d w ith people. The engines, w ith their clanging gongs, hur ried to the scene. Ladders were raised, and the w o rk of rescue began.

Could he w eather the storm and flame once more? He could try. He pulled the rope, and the journey began. It was slow, oh. how -slow. Tlie smoke was terrible—worse even than the fire—but he held his breatli and fixed his mind upon the business in hand. The flame kindled tlie woodwork of the car. He fell on his h a nds and knees, but he kept his hold on the rope. A t last he reached her floor. He found her room, and found her. She w as asleep and alone. W rapping her in the blankets, and throw ing about iier a rug which he snatched from the floor, lie struggled through the flame a n d smoke back to the burning car. “ Back from t!ie jaw s of hell” i t was th a t he b rouglit tier, fighting the fire a w ay from her every inch of the way down.

He was horribly burned. Among the people who stood around were the pa rents of the little girl. They had been out to an evening party, and returning after a long cold drive found their home on fire. Every e ffort had been made, in response to the a gonizing appeals of the father, to save the c h ild—and now here she was, safe and sound, laughing in her mother’s arms. And the liero?

The faint strains of Mendelssohn floated through the still a ir, and the beautiful bride stood before the altar w ith her chosen one. Thepastor of thechurch,ritual in hand, read the solemn service un til he came to the c ritical moment, when lie said; “ R e p eat after me. ‘I, W illiam, talto thee. Prances.” ' He did not iiroceed a t once, for to every one’s astonishm ent, before the bride groom could find his voice, tlie bride, in clear, firm tones, repeated: “ ‘1, W illiam , take thee. Prances.’ ” There was a dead silence, till the sec ond ofiiciating c lergyman, unable longer to control himself, laughed outright. This was the signal for a c o ntagious wave of m e rrim e nt. As soon as the p a stor could compose his features and resum e his dignified voice, he said: “ R epeat after me, ‘I W illiam, take thee. Prances.’ ” Companion. The well known French engineer, M.
