David was then twenty-five, tall and straight as an arrow, cool of disposition, never flustered, while I was not only full of whims, but 1 -? ?J " A* impulsive huu uoer ici i?m ui uuing the right thing at the right time. I had known him since I was a little girl and had always looked up to him as something too far above such a chit as I. Cyril Marston I did not meet till that eventful summer, but as soon as he saw me it was plain that I had made an impression. My uncle?mv dear uncle who loved me as his own child?was with me, or, rather, I was under his care, and I knew he was watching me, knowing that I had two strings to my bow. I tried to get out of him wnich was his choice, but he would not tell me. I have since known that he preferred to leave it to me to choose instinctively the better man. My uncle bade me goodby as I stood on the steps of the summer hotel. "Have a good time, Polly," he 6aid at parting, "and may the best man win." I laughed, but mv face flushed ' ' i ? 1. t.J T notiy, ana wnen uncie naa gone i sat there upon the veranda thinking things over. You see, David had been asking me to marry him both in and out of season for a long time, but why hurry to decide 60 important a question, for David would always be waiting patient and faithful, immovable as the sphinx. So through this one long summer vacation at least I determined to think no more of the vexing question of marrying or giving in marriage, and then Cyril Marsden appeared on the scene. It was very gratifying, I must admit, to be the one chosen above all others by a man so greatly admired, and we were soon jolly good companions, he and I, always enjoying together the little excursions and fetes which the guests had planned. Then one day David came. It startled me, and I said: "What! You here?" "Yes," he answered quietly, "it is I. You do not seem pleased to see me, Polly?" "If I had known that you were coming," I answered flippantly, "I would have met you with a brass band. As it is"? David's face grew very stern. "Yes," he said questioningly, "as it is?" "I have made another engagement for this afternon," I finished. David studied me reprovingly. "Then, Polly," he said slowly, "I will not stay to interrupt your plans." His glance followed mine down the roadway, where Cyril Marsden came swinging along, looking very handsome in his yachting flannels. David barely acknowledged the introduction as I presented the two men, but Cyril was charming and gracious as ever and thoughtfully invited David to accompany us on our pleasure trip?an invitation which was curtly rcfusetj. "Goodby, Polly," David said in a low voice. "I think that I understand ev Tything now." That summer upon the lake shore was one round of gayetv, but I did not see or hear from David again. It was after we had returned to the city that Cvril disappointed my summer time friends by proving that upon his part at least ours had not been an idle flirtation, for he asked that world old question, and, listening, I thrilled at the beauty of his language. He had driven me about in his electric as I shopped one glorious morning, and we stopped to dine at ? * - ?* ^ AAAI* A/ Q I H rt'blUUiaiii uu mc muiu liwi vi u great department 6tore building. It was when we had settled ourselves in a secluded corner that mv roving eyes fell upon David. He had evidently finished his meal and was leaning, back wearily. How white and thin he looked! Working steadily all summer without rest or recreation had been too hard on him. The pianist began to play something weird and sad, and the violin joined in sobbingly. I looked down upon my corsage bouquet of white violets tied with silken cord, and resentment rose within me at the thought that with all his unceasing ' labor David could not hope to buy j the violets which Cyril bestowed so | lavishly. Then above the hum of conversation, even above the crash of the music, I became conscious of an air _ of subdued excitement. The little P waitresses hurried about with white * and frightened faces, men talked quietly together, then hastened from the room. ' What is it?" I asked of Cyril, and he went to see. ^ .1 i i i 3 ? . j'resennv Jie ueeKoncu me inmi the doorway. "'.Something is wrong,1" E he said nervously. "'We had better get out." But as we made our way to the elevators we found them already ) surrounded by a crowd pushing and struggling recklessly to get nearer <] the iron doors, clerks hurried down the narrow stairway, disorder and confusion prevailed. Then I saw David's tall figure. He had been speaking to one of the ^ managers. Now bis voice rang out " clearly, convincingly: "There la no cause to be alarm- [ ed," he said. "A slight fire in the j front part of the building will soon r be under control. The one great danger to be averted at this time is a panic. The elevators can easily t carry every one here to safety in a ^ short time. Coolness and obedi- j ence are all that is required." v He went about quickly, and with t the aid of men who followed his s directions long lines were formed r reaching to the doors of the eleva- y tore, which worked swiftly as toe T orderly rows of people moved slow- ^ ly l'orward or patiently awaited their t turn. t There was no sound within now g save David's voice encouraging, re- a assuring. Cyril clutched my arm } frantically. "We will be next," he a exclaimed. "Make a rush for it." c Then David approached. "Polly," s he said very gently, rtI am glad that 1 you are near the dcfor." r "Just two more," called the ele- f vator man as Cyril hurried me for- r ward. We had entered the car a when I saw a woman look up at 1 Cyril beseechingly and then step I back in sudden disappointment. 1 She bad a little child in her arms. Then it all happened very quick- c ly?the woman had mv place in c the elevator, the iron door clanged r shut, and I stood coughing a little ^ with the smoke and smiling up at a David. ^ - v., . , 9 "Oh, Tolly," he 6ted Btemiy, "why did you do that?" And I- slipped ray hand through r his arm and answered honestly, "I f did it, David, because I could -not a bear to be outside while you were here, and I am going to stay with you to the last." I have read in stories of faces be- ing illuminated, and I understood the full meaning of the word as I ^ looked at David now. ' He did not apeak, but held me close to his 6ide as our life saver ^ came flying up again. The people a were growing unruly now and press- v ed forward roughly. g Suddenly David lifted me in his j arms, the iron doors closed again, j and this time I was going down, ^ down with the fortunate ones to j safety. g As we came out into the fresh a air and were led to a place beyond a the protecting rope a cheer went ur? from the c-rowd. and I raised mv T ' # emoke smarting eves to the windows of the ninth story, where little tongues of flame leaped and curled. Sick with fear, I waited, knowing e that David would be the last person k to leave the burning floor. From v time to time faint cheers sounded as t the elevators unloaded their precious burdens; then with a wild and glaring light the flames burst fortli r unrestrained. Tremblingly I cov- r ered mv face, but soon a mighty re sounding cheer seemed to shake the It earth. "All out safely!" called a r triumphant voice, and the people all about ucre telling excitedly of the presence of mind and the brav- 1 erv of the man who prevented a a panic. r "Who is lie?" asked a young man who stood near with notebook and ^ pencil in hand. And 1 heard myself answering 8 hint proudly, almost unconsciously, f "He is David (Irav," I said, "the f man I am going to marry." Then a I turned to find David's eyes look- ^ ing into mine. II "Come, Polly," he said softlv and i .1 * t ' 11, nasim iirev? mu avi ay. *a& we wained down a quiet side street I looked n np into his dear grimy face with n its tired lines. t "David." I asked reproachfully,: t "whv did von not let me stay with f you up there vntil tlie last?" d "Because, Polly." he answered, s with a happy, boyish laugh, "I want- p ed you to stay with me down here ! f until the last." And that is how we became engaged. n y Submarine Cables. ^ Submarine cables consist of thin ^ wires covered with insulat ing, wa- j terproof la\ ers of paper, metal, rub- : g ber. hemp end pitch and on the out- jside a sheath of lead and steel.
