In a modest way they lived uinid the retirement of a quiet street, they wore courteous toward their neighbors, their comings and g •■ well or- were. esteemed ami respected as helpful and Welcome residents of Walden. Miss Mareli uas just past thirty. She was b reserved being, but not to any extreme of primness. Roger Brill, bachelor, was shy and retiring, hut always came forward in any movement tor general good and did not shrink neighborly or community responsibilities. ''She's better looking than she was ten years ago," declared Judge Adams, the wiseaere of the village, "but somehow she's let her chances of marriage slip by and now fancies she's old enough to be laid on the shelf." Roger Brill had lived in Walden for a few months only. A relative had left him a coal and feed business, and the cottage half a square down the ! from the Mnrch home. There he had installed himself, the place all ready for housekeeping when he inherited it. Without wife, chick or child, however, he got most his own r_(*ai fl quite by himself. Brill wi r flowers, and after he had settled down in the village he sent to a friend in his old home town to ship him some rose bushes of a bewilderlngly beautiful les, always favorites with him. The order was filled In a profuse manner and Brill was prodigal in distributing the surplus. Everybody in the b^ock received a donation. Brill had placed a bundle of the bushes ou the porch of the March place, and was anxious to get away without being discovered, bashful man that he was, when Miss March came around the corner of the house. Brill flushed red as a peony and fairly stammered amid his embarrassment. "A few rose slips," he lamely explained. "Friend sent me a great overplus. Was glad to pass them along." "Why, thank you," responded Miss March brightly. I love roses and I shall value your kind gift -very much. I presume you are going to keep up the garden at the old Wilder place." "I—I think I shall," answered Brill. "Wherever I have lived I have always had a lot of flowers," and he was hacking away in culpritlike fashion when a remark of his neat appearing, pleasant faced hostess halted him: "I wonder if you would have time and patience to make a bed of petunias?" she submitted. "Mine are quite too plentiful, and I shall have^to thin them out. I don't like to throw the extra growth away." , Brill expressed positive delight at the offering and fluttered like some modest schoolboy at the graeiousness of this charming neighbor. After that he never met Miss March that he did not receive a smiling, friendly greeting, and It came to be not unusual for her to be in the garden when he passed to and fro from his business place in the town. Late one afternoon Miss March, half dozing In a hammock, roused up at a sudden commotion. Confused sounds, a taint of smoke In the air caused her to look across lots to observe that the third house down the block from her own had flames shooting through its roof. Then a new variation of the usual dullness of the neighborhood attracted her. Leaping the fence of back yards and Just then crossing her own was Mr. Brill. Apparently he had been called into action by the blase. He recklessly trampled a flower bed, Intent only on reaching the direct scene of the flre. Be did not notice Miss Brill. She hurried from the garden down the street Outside of the burning house a crowd was gathering. In their midst was an agonized woman who they had to hold back by sheer force. "My child—my Dorothy t" she wai screaming. "She U asleep In the upper back room!" One or two of the bravest among the crowd ventured to approach the open lower door, but they were In* Btantly driven back by smoke and cinders. The entire front of the house was a roaring mass of flames. Miss March shuddered as she made out Roger Brill. He had not waited to ask questions, nor for a ladder at a distance some one had gone for. He was up a poet of the veranda, agile as a young college athlete. A quick pallor overspread the face of Miss March and she shuddered and gasped as, reaching the roof above, Brill disappeared past a blazing curtain Into a flame-deluged room. Then there •U a commanding cry at the rear, and thither half a dozen arms reached out to catch the little child dropper from the window by her he* r«- rescuer. After that, feebly, veakly, Brill came to the ground and staggered and fell senseless. "Take him to my home and send for a doctor at once," directed Mis- March, as she noted when the flames had scarred his face and hands. And through the after hours and for a week her gentle presence filled the sick room, and the flame of love grew to fervor In her admiring soul. And, with rocoperatlng strength, Roger Brill Itnew that his dauntless heroism had won him a worthy wife. \ J.- BAT SMATHERS ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Practice in all Courts of the St_.t_ i'r-m, -ltenti-a given in __. matters entrusted to me.
