A Thrilling Episode Enabled
Polly to Decide.
By AGNES G. BROGAN.
I shall never forget that summer,
the most important season of my
life. 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*

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

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.

"Come, Polly," he said softlv and

"Because, Polly." he answered, s
with a happy, boyish laugh, "I want- p
ed you to stay with me down here ! f

And that is how we became engaged.

Note:?Acid Iron Mineral is just

,nd very economical. Whole famlies
should take it. It never inures
the teeth, goes from two to
