She liked Billy pretty well, and ,there was no sting back of her jibe,ebut she could not resist the Ohance th tease him a little. "Don't you do it, Billy,, if you don't want to," interposed Milly Cairns, the crippled operator on machine 97,aseho Was Billy's one particular friend. "Tom is only trying to bluff you." Billy laughed good naturedly at that. "I never take a dare," he declared quietly, "but I hope that when the time comes I will show as much courage SS anybody, a$ much eveh 25 the brave Tom!" • • This little thrust made Tom blush. Between Tom and Billy there had never been the best of feeling. Tom was a powerful boy physically, full of rough-and-ready pranks, who could not see anything to admire in the re- served, frail, unobtrusive Billy. Perhaps the eeal reason. Tom did not like Billy was that be recognized In him the stronger character. And Billy did not like Tom because he con- sidered him, somewhat of a braggart anti a bully, Before the' argument about the ele- vator shaSt could be carrie31 any fur- er, however, the great actory gong sounded its alarm and at once there was a scurry tor the machines. In two niinutes e great isenheimer establishment was humming with in- dustry again, after its hour's lull. Billy paused a minute to help Mill,. Cairns to her inachine, and then took his station near the outer office, at the command of Misenheirner, • the owner, From where he was situated, Billy could see the whole floor and Renee- cupants. •There were 200 girls and women cooped up there on the fourth storey; the place was dark and Stuffy; and the faces rending over the merci- less Madhines were mostly white, wan and much discouraged. All these things B1117 noticed, and although Billy was' only a humble messenger boy, his heart grew heavy at the sight. Then his gaze wandered back to 'the office where Eiseilbeimer, fat and pompous, was laboring over his desk, his crafty brain ever butte'''. Billy knew' that "Eisey's" worried look was due to a tecent order of the state inspector to' provide better, fire prdtection. Pire protection The big, wooden' building was a tinder -box! Even the boy Billy could 883 0000. And then what • even Eisenheimer had drIre,rhapperied. The terrible cry, repeated and re. - echoed, threw the Tobin into coefusion. Billy remembered that somebody must have had presence of mind enough to shut off the power, for the whirling pulleys stopped the Minute the alarm Billy's first impulse was to, run. Placed where he Was, he Chula easily • have eseaped among the firet. 'In one swift glance he had seen Eisenheimer scramble to safety, }awaiting down sev- eral of the panic-stricken girle who happened to get in his way. ' Billy, dashed right into the thick of e p n c. "Take your time! Hey, there! none of that window juniping businees His keen voice penetrated the din with its warnings. Almost ,by instinct he fought his way to Machine 97, where Milly Colima, her frail body unable to bear the shook of the tumult, lay crumpled over her stool. His strength, doubled by' the desperation of' the 'situation, Billy managed to drag Milly through the Smoke and heat , to the elevator shaf 0. Gone was the bluster from Torn, the elevator boy. His.uniform disheveled, his f ace blackened; he was sticking grimly to his perilous duty, the great crisis having brought his better na- ture th the forefront. When Billy arrived with,the uncon- scious Milly, Torn „somehow managed to, squeeze her into the jammed car, While Billy hurried back to see if others needed help, now the flames were crackling 'among the machines; the smoke was becoming ahnost unbeatable. Billy saw at once that the Ire was reptile closing the wily to the elevator, ansi that the only remaining place oF escape was through a window where the firemen had placed a ladder.

I"Are you hurt, Billy?" cried Torn in alarm. . I "Not e bit!" I The smoke had abated ecnnewhaf at , the bottom of the shaft. This gave , Billy a chanee to clear his luegs and P.Yes. He tried the door of the shaft, but , it was firmly -locked: • "You'll have to climb up," bellowed , Tone "I'll give you a lift!" .Aiter resting a enoxnent, Billy began ihis ascent. But a sudden grinding !sound 'overhead, accompaeied by a , swift movement of the cables, startled I hiin into dropPieg back to the floor.

Billy's one hope was that Tom would be able to bring rescue in time. By keeping his 'head low, he was able to avoid most of the emoke. But the water, rising steadily, fotced his head higher and higher. Even now he stood knee deep in water, ' A new terror presented itself.

E. Hungerford. Nature's Night -Club. People often wonder whether plants and' flowers really sleep. They do; nate at night, others during the day- time, When a flower sleeps it closes its petals; When to plant sleeps the leaves droop arid lie closer together for Warmth. - Mowers that sleep by clay are wide awake during the hours from desk to early dawn, when the moths sip their honey, and in return Carry pollen from one blossom to another.
