' “Oh, there’s never any accounting for a, girl’s fancy,” sagely remarked his friend, secretly amused to see the champion athlete of the country in sucharumeallbecause a certain f'blue-eyed girl chose an escort to' suit herself. Tom could outrun, out-box and out-leap any one for miles ar- ound, but what availed, all this while society in general, and Vesta Craig. in particular, smiled upon one who could do neither. “Irving has a pleasant way and a smooth tongue, and that takes with women. But just . wait till football time comes around and he’ll be nowhere. .They’ll all be flocking around you again like the bees around the molasses cask.” “Any fool can talk,” Tom growled impatiently.

Irving was indeed more fit for a. sick bed than for a. crowded hall. a. little play by home talent, so, of course, it was everybody's duty to go there and swelterâ€"and most of them did.

Certainly not Tom. There Was no time to waste in humoring a girl's whims now.

His chance had ‘come at last. he had shown her what areal man could :do. She was won, but what ought a fellow to do next? He couldn't stand there hold- ing a girl who struggled to get away. He set her down. beginning some awkwardly ctassuring phrase. but she darted away and disappear- ed in the crowd and darkness.

"Got your chance at last. didn’t you?" gasped his friend, coming up' behind him. "Irving’s goose is cook- ed by this time, I reckon. Come on and help the hook and ladder boys if you don't want to take her home. You aren’t hurt any, of course?" No, not he. and he understood helping the fire company much better than receiving the compliments that now began to shower upon him. They were all very pleasant, of course, but where was Vesta? Well. he wasn’t going to look for her. She would come prmuy and thank him when this gaping crowd were not by. So he worked with the firemen till the roof fell in and the fire was under controlâ€"which was not long with such a. flimsy structure. Then he looked around for Vesta. Every- body else had something friendly to say oi his prowess, but where was she ? Then he heard her merry laugh and caught sight of her pinning up a‘ friend’s dress, torn in the mad scram- ble for the doors. Why, he had not dreamed she was so badly scorched. Her face and hands seemed unmarrâ€" ed, but. her airy ruffles were sadly browned and bedrag‘z}«.-d and one whole breadth had been torn away, giving scandalous glimpses of the pretty gray cashmee skirt beneath.
