Peer Owen! Her heart and mind
were filled with u chaos of emotions.
Here was a man whose sterling worth
everybody in the whole world seemed
te recognize nnd she hnd repudiated
him for vvhnt she new realized was a
bit of foolish, unwarranted jealousy.
Surelj she could net se far forget
maidenly resserve as te nsk him te take
ner hack. In the in dst of her nunn
ilnry she walked en. noting neither dls-
tenee nor direction, until she found
herself in the pail:.
She snt down en a bench te collect
her scattered thoughts nnd wns lest
te things about her until a spin Mi en
her hand announced the return of the
rain. She looked about helplessly for
shelter, but there was nothing in sight.
A particularly black cloud und n peal
of thunder heralded another downpour,
driving Cwcn Ie the protection of a
.spreading tree, under which u man
with a large umbrella held well down
ever his shoulders hnd just token refuge.
"Perhaps he will ask me te share
it." thought the girl. "Hepe he's
nice." She coughed it lit tit by way
of announcing herself, and the man
lifted the ralnshed. "Civven !" he crie-l
out . "You're getting soaked! Come
under here this minute!"
He reached out and appropriated
her arm without permission. Explan
ations were net long forthcoming, but
neither of these two. who felt that
years had gene by since they hnd last
met. sensed the strength of the storm
until a violent gust blew Jack's um
brella inside out. Nothing daunted,
he promptly seined the buttered shelter
and held it ever them by Its npex.
Then he repented hN interrupted ques
tion, the only question in the world nt
that moment. "And you'll vvenr inv
ring again, won't you. iJw-en? Reach
iu my vest pocket and get it."
"Yeu must put It en, .lack dear.
I'll held the umbrella.'' '
The broken umbrella wns brought
down e far ever their heads that it
completely hid them from view, nnd i
for two foolish young levers the driv- ,
ing rain had turned te u golden mist,
finally a policeman tnpped .lack en the
arm.
"WliiU's the big Idea? he asked. ,
laughing heartily in spile of himself.

These are some of the standard type, of safety appliances required
tinder the National Flre Protection Cede. They are described In the
accompanying article
What the Fire Underwriters Require
The laws which apply te the Installa
tion of rndln-recelvlnir sets In houses
I nre nt the present time seniewlint con
fused because the fire underwriters of
different cities have net yet had suf
ficient experience with this new form
of public amusement te satisfy them
selves ns te Its dangers te life or prep'
erty.
Lightning -eetns e he the principal
bugaboo both from the Insurance nnd
the Individual standpoints, but let It
be said right line for the benefit of
the nervous Individun? Hint a properly
constructed aerial, properly grounded.
Is the very best lightning red in ihe
world, nnd. se far ns I hnve been able
te learn, there has never jet been a
ease of liclitulng striking n house se
protected. There hnve Jieen cases where
lightning has entered the house when
the lightning switch hnd been carelessly
left In the wrong position, but with the
switch grounded or with nn approved
lightning arrester In the circuit the
house Is as safe as human Ingenuity
can make it. In fnet. it would be geed
common sense for nny one te put up
hiicIi nn nerlnl merely for protect Ien
from lightning, whether they intend te
use n radle-iecelviiig set or net.
At the presenl lime almost nil cities
have adopted the tentative regulations i
drawn up bv a special committee of
the National fire Piotectlen Asseein-
tinu.
In the first place nil wiring about
the set "must conform te Ihe general
requirements of the national electrical
cede for ihe class of weik installed."
In addition In this, there nre ether re
quirements especially applicable te te
ceivlng sets.
Your aerial wire must net cress
ever or under electric llgh' nr power
wires, nor must it be se plnced that a
break In either the prinl or a licnrbv
light or lower wire might cause the
two te come in contact.
All splices nnd joints In the neilal

In size, except Hint Ne. 17 copper-clad
steel may be used.
If you bring your lend-in wire along
the outside nf your building, you must
hnve. It mounted en Insulating supports,
which, In most cities, nre required te
be of such construction Hint they will
keep the wire nt least five inches from
the wall, and you must net let it come
nearer thnn four inches te nny light
or power wire unless (he two nre sep
arated by n continuous nnd firmly fixed
wenther'-proef-noii-coiiduelor. nnd this
non-conductor shall be In addition te
any Insulntlnn en the wires.
Your lead-in wire must be brought
into the building through nn Insulat
ing bushing or tube that is both firt
proof and li.oisture-preof.
Every lend -In wire must be provided
Willi un nppreved protective device,
This may be located either Inside eir
outside of the building, hut it must
be as near ns possible te the point
where the wire enters the building. It
is best te get one of the weather-proof
devices, of which there are n number
en the market, and te mount It out
