It was ever so Ilfrht. hardly noticeable, only when you work in a paper box factory you prow to see such things very quickly. In 10 minutes or less It would eat its way through and the wood partition would blaze up like match wood. Tesn started at it, and then went deliberately on down to the second floor. They would have their picnic without her, would they? They would lauffh at her red hair and call her Irish, would they? .She'd show them. It pave her the strangest, most wonderfu thrill to know how she held the fate of the whole factory in her hands. Of course they would get out in time. She Just wanted to give them a pood scare. All the time her last lot of boxes were being- packed for shipment, ehe stood looking at the clock, counting minutes. Five, six, seven. Suddenly she turned and ran for the stairs. Levinsky called after her that the door was locked, she'd have to uso the freight elevator if she wanted to po up. But that red hair was not without Its own significance. Tess reached the little fire alarm box by the door and bflfore anyone could stop her she had smashed the glass and turned the key around. Twelve noon found tho plrls maklnp for the stairway in a panic of fear, the fear of the paper, box worker. And the stairs were filled with, the peril' of death. rising flouds of choking smoke that drove them back. Tom's voice above all called them to the freight elevator, and Tess was leading them like a

lot of sheep to safety, when she missed Telka. She went back into the smoke Just as the firemen came on a .run. It was Tom who found her, still Trippln the fainting girl In her strong younic arms, her ankle twisted in her fall: And he carried them both to KuTety.

It had never seemed quite so j hui.l as that Saturday moriTing. For rver a year Tess had worked in tho big paper box factory on Maerougal St.. carrying tall piles of boxes back and forth as they v. r finished by the obler 'hands," and ready for the packers. She was 1 " when she started in, and the 54 a week had seemed so much to the little family tucked away in three rooms on Sullivan st. With her mother and Danny helping, too, it wasn't hard to pet along at all. and when the weather was good they all went over into Washimrton square at niht to rest and dream awhile. Rut up in the factory the other mrls had never admitted her into that inner circle of friendly intimacy that always exists where there are fellow workers. perhaps it was Lecauso she. wasn't pretty. The lirst week she had conn there, Carl, the shipping clerk, had sized her up jocularly and remarked that "she'd be some frost at the Winter Garden with that face hung on her." Tess hnd heard and hated him with all her heart, even while the hot tears tilled her eyes, and she bit her lip to keep Tack the swift retort. She had taken a pood look at herself in the little crooked mirror over the wash basin where the girls put on their hats, and it was perfectly true. She wasn't a bit pretty. She didn't know how to do her hair attractively and in style, and she had freckles, and her mouth was too large. There was no one to nil her that her eyes were big and lustrous, and her complexion (lean and pink. When she smiled tbcro was a charm that brightened her whole face. It came as a birthright from a mother who had been born n ar Killarney. F.ut Tss only saw the red hair and freckles, and hated them with all her heart. The next year it was much worse. The boys and girls in the factory fo'-med a social club, and give little dames and picnics, and Tess was left out with old Julia, tho scrubwoman, and Lizzie, the little hunchl irk sorter of labels. She tried to think slm didn't care, but when Tom Flake came to work on the freight elevator, sho knew she did. She'd have given everything sho owned to make Tom look at her ns he looked at some of the other girls, and especially Telka. Telka was one of the experienced hands on bridal cake boxes. She lasted cn the satin striped paper and the delicate, frostlike lace linings, and always sang as she worked. She was from northern Hungary, with the mystery of the Magyars in lor curious, attractive eyes and slowsmile, once when one of the boys had tried to kiss hrr, she had slapped him. and when he hurled a choice bit of good old "Bowery 'va'1 down" at her returned. Telka had promptly .seized her scissors and eh '.sod him downstairs into, a corner until he beirced her pardon. The second week, as Tess was going down on tho freight elevator ..l noon time. Tom took a bunch of tlowt rs from a pasteboard shoe box at his feet and gave them to Telka. They wer not city flowers. Tess cotill tell that. There was a whiff of rose geranium anei sweet alyssum, with heliotrope and mignonette. "We live up in Fcrdham," Tom said. "Mother picked that bunch for me this morning from her garden. Like it?" Telka smiled, her face behind the :'ivors. Surely sho liked them. Tess watch.d them both with a little heartache of curiosity. What "was this love that bloonied overnight like a flower itself and brought the I ist ro to the eyes and the color to the ehfeks of girls like Telka? When the Hungarian pirl got off at the sixth iloor. Tom turned and saw his other passenger, her arms full of boxes as u'sual. "H'-'.lo. kid." he said happilv. "Can I light a mat h on your hair '.'" "Sm rty." ratorted Tess. hotly, M.d Tom looked a her twice. Pimpl. a:.J red c urly hair were not such a bad combination aft

Telka was drowsy and indolent in her ways unless roused to angcr, but here was a pirl with a hit of old Ireland in lo r makeup like a dash of pepper. The next day he broupht some rejs-es for Tess, but she was busy in the packing room, and he gave them to Telka at the last moment. Then, when the days grew warm, the social club arranpeel for a Sunday outing up the Hudson. Tess heard the girls talking about it and planning. It seemed as If she could feel the weight of her own heart in her loneliness. Jf only there was someone, who wanted her most of all. someone whom idle wanted, too. Tom called to her as she went up the stairs Saturday morninp, but she elid not netico him. All at once she felt a great bitterness against the whole cruel pressure, the daily grind that ate up youth and happiness, the pitiful little $4 that was tlue her that nipht, old Levinsky's face at the time clock when sho rang up. Miss Gulitsky. the forewoman, friving out the work for the day what was it all worth in the big count up of life? That morning at breakfast her mother had been telling of her home In the old country, of the beautiful lakes of Killarney and the lifting glory of the hills around them. It seemed like another world to Tess from this narrow street filled with crowding Italian children, and the endless rows of factories and shops below Bleecker st. She was thinking of this, hating her work, her companions, Telka'a sleek, dark head, the sound of the machinery, everything in the place. "We'll be let out at twelve noon today," the girl at the checking desk said. "Doss's pot a eoft heart, I rues-s pn account of the picnic. What you poinp to wear, Tess?" Tess scowled. It was on the tip of her tongue to say she wasn't going. The clock over her head said 10 minutes to 12. She caught

Beauty .in a motor car is more than finish deep. It goes into the mechanism. The beauty of the Picrce-Arrovv Dual Valve engine, which doubles the power 'without complicating the mechanism, is not visible to the eye. The harmony of twin sparks igniting the gas simultaneously in two places and delivering the full force of the explosion, is never visualized except on blue prints.

But the result smooth power, silent, quick-as-thought responsiveness, greater flexibility and-highcr cfi:ciency in every working part represents a beauty of mechanical achievement as distinguished in its way as graceful lines and luxurious fittings.
