A Story for Young Folks By MARION HEAIH F3EEMAN

(Continued.) By this time Bertha was suficiently reviewed bo that she could hobble to the window. Marnie leaned out to cry again for help, when her attention was attracted by a rope and pulley the roofers had been using. : She reached out as far as she 'dared to grasp the rope, but it was just beyond her reach. Again the kindly wind came to her rescue, a sudden gust blowing a strand of the rope toward her. She managed to seize it and turning to Bertha said: "Could you hang on if I let you down? Then after you are down, you could hold the rope for me." Bertha seemed beside herself with fear and it was with the utmost difficulty that Marnie succeeded in getting her to comprehend her plan of rescue. She finally stopped her moaning, however, and by the greatest effort got astride of the sill, took the rope in both hands, and the descent was begun. For so frail a little creature. Bertha was abnormally strong in her arms, the muscles in these having been developed by the exercise she had given them in propelling her wheeled chair about the yard and corridors. Besides, it was her last hope and when she was made to realize this, her strength was doubled. , But although Bertha appeared as light as a feather, when suspended in mid-air a dead weight on the rope, ehe seemed as heavy as lead. Cling to it as tightly as she might, the

rope would slip through Mamie's fingers much faster than she meant it should and by the time Bertha had reached the ground, poor Mamie's hands were blistered and torn. Indeed so unendurable had the tortuorous rope become, that before she liad landed her passenger, Marnie could hold it no longer and Bertha fell the last half-story or more. But Marnie did not realize this and called jdown to Bertha to hold the rope vhile she made the descent. But Bertha was lying on the ground, stunnned and bleeding and failed to hear Mamie's cry for help.

CHAPTER XXXVI. Marnie had quite given herself up for lost. She had cried out to Bertha again and again but received no response. It seemed as though every event in her life passed through her mind in the brief .terrible moments she stood there in the very jaws of death. She loked out of the window and

wondered whether it would be more j horrible to jump or to remain where' she was and be strangled by the smoke or roasted by the flames, which had yet not penetrated the fire wall separating the new wing from the old structure but whose roar back of and above her, sounded like a tempest in her ears. In the fitful glare the flames cast, she could see the houses across the alley way, whose roofs were more than two good storie3 below her. But the windows in these houses were like blind eyes. The inmates either slept or had fled to the street. She measured the distance from her window to the roof of the nearest one, and wondered whether, by leaping with all her strength, she could clear the 20 foot alley and land on the roof, and the thought recalled to her the day of the picnic on the farm, when all of the children had vied with each other in the Olympian games; and of how short a distance she had spanned in the "running broad jump" when she had tried her best. And with the thought of the farm and the picnic, came the thought of -Doris and her and Doris' fright when

they were lost in the wood; and of how Marshall, always like the rescuing prince in the fairy tales, had found them and taken the home. Then how Marshall had again appeared when she had needed him so sadlv that fearful day in the Ju

venile court. And now, when she needed him worse than ever in her life before, where was he? And all the time the smoke was getting thicker, for where the panel in the door had been broken In by her blows from the ax there was free access for the deadly fumes. As she thought of Marshall, a pain

greater than any she had known before wrung her heart. "Marshall" she cried just as she had cried from the witness chair when she had seen his face amid the throng of curious spectators in the court room. "Marshall!" she said again; but her cry was a hopeless one this time. She knew it was her death cry, for at that moment there was a rush of flames through the door and she felt that her hour had come. She must have swooned; but it was pleasant, for she dreamed she heard Marshall's voice call her name. She thought she heard it again and

then she half-opened her eyes. It seemed quite natural that he should be there, bending over and raising her in his arms. Her Prince! For he had called her name and she was expecting him. Butwhat was that roaring all about her? "It is very warm," she murmured, and then she smiled into the eyes above her, shut her own eyes wearily and sank back once more. "Marnie, be yourself! You must wake up! It is Marshall who is calling you!" "I know; and I'm very glad to see

you Marshall. Has Doris come? And how is Mrs. Methven?" And then her senses came back to herself strongly and looked into the face bending over hers. Ah! She remembered now. The flames were all about them; but Marshall was there. He must not perish. . "The rope!" she cried. But at that moment a ladder shoi high into the air and its top bounded against the wall just below them. It sprang forward a foot or two and then settled steadily back against the walL

Out of that seething furnace Marshall bore Marnie in triumph. Down the ladder they went and landed safely amid the cheers of the mighty multitude that had assembled to watch the destruction of the Orphan's home. Marnie lay so quietly in Marshall's arms, with her head resting on his shoulder, as he descended the ladder and so death-like was her face in its pallor, that one of the fireman who stood below to steady the ladder, thought she was dead.
