Saved the Lives of 500
People.
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD-
RIDGE.
A night of sweet sounds, the beau-
tifull villa of White Shadows a seene
of moonlight joyousness. A fair girl
with pride in her face, Lucia Page—a
conscious young man, her accepted
lover, the center of an admiring throng
—Harold Worthington,
Beyond the group, Leslie Forbes, his
sister Myrtle, and young Walter Dale
—the brother a natural athlete in
build, the sister a charming model of
girlish loveliness, her would-be lover
slightly reserved, but with a fine intel-
lectual and humane face.
“well,” observed Leslie in his off-
hand way, “there’s hero worship for
you!”
His companions did not venture any
suggestions. Walter was watching
Myrtle’s face with attention. He was
a keen analyst. He loved Myrtle, and
he was a loyal friend of her brother.
Outside of being the best student in
his class at college, however, he had
never made much noise in the world.
He knew that pretty Myrtle was
something of a dreamer. He wondered
now if she was comparing him with
the great, bluff Worthington, who was
receiving the adulation of the light-
minded group of loveliness about him
as if he was some valiant warrior.
“Big Injun hero, eh?” continued Les-
lie. “Saved a drowning man up at
the falls, didn’t he? I heard that what
he really did was to toss the struggling
victim a plank. At all events, he
didn’t get wet. Come on, Walter. It’s
back to college for us to-morrow, you
know.”
But Walter had no thought of leav-
ing his lady love. He noted her watch-
ing the distant group, and he fancied
he could read her thoughts.
“I do wish you could rouse up my
brother to— Myrtle paused. Walter
was sure she meant to say “something
like that,” meaning the heroic deed of
Worthington. But she added: “to
some real action.” :
“I think I know what youn mean,
Myrtle,” said Walter in his usual di-
rect way. “You believe that Leslie is
indolent. Yes, that is true, but a
more whole-souled friend never lived.

Landed Inside the Mail Car.
Believe me, I am doing all I can to
urge him to consider study more seri-
lousy.”
“I know you are,” sighed Myrtle, but
gratefully. “Mother worries about
him continually. She hears a’ great
deal about his reckless ways. He does
not seem ta appreciate that her life
hangs upon a very slender thread.”
: “Believe me, Myrtle, I shall do all I
‘can to direct him aright,” said Walter
with deep feeling.
The theme was a grave one with
Walter. Wild, reckless Leslie Forbes
had no better friend than this sterling
young fellow student.
would have been twice expelled from
college. Many a night had Walter sat
up assisting his chum to prepare at
the last hour for a critical examina-
tion.
Walter gave his friend a great talk-
ing to after arriving at the college. He
worked double time posting him to
keep up with his classes. Leslie
seemed really on the mend. Then
some graduates visited the town, there
was a riotous time and some broken
windows at the village tavern, and Les-
lie was in the black books of the pro-
fessors again.
One afternoon Walter started out
for a walk. It was not until he had
ended a good long sprint at a little
railroad station that, placing his hand
in a pocket, he discovered some cards
that by mistake he had put on Les-
lie’s coat. ©
Walter sat down to rest on a bench.
He heard the distant roar of a coming
train just as the station agent came
rushing wildly out of the depot. He
was white as death.
«Wire from Hampton!” he gasped.
“Bridge around the curve gone down
Semaphore won’t work—must stop
the limited!”
The man ran down the track in the
girection of the semaphore three hun-
dred yards distant. He stumbled,
started on again, and then sprang
aside, for the approaching train was
fairly upon him.
Walter took it all in at cne swift
glance. Then he tore off his coat.
Near at hand was the mail crane.
A mighty resolve came into his
mind.
