“It's nothing short of a miracle that
1 am spared to n;v friends and n la
lives," dorian ! Pi”y, with a lugubt 1
ous air, as she proceed* d to unload
the millinery creation of birds and
animals from her head. “It’s a won
der that my sad and sudden end—"
“Why, Patty, what in the world hits
happened?" asked Corinne, plumping
down on the hatrnek seat and draw
ing her caller to the place beside her.
"I came over bo tell you the whole
thrilling tale," said Patty. “You know,
dear, that all my life 1 have longed,
to do something worth while—1 mean
to put my ow n powers and resouret s
to the test. 1 wanted to know just
what 1 should do under circumstances
calling for coolness and quick decision.
Well, yesterday my opportunity
came."
"Why, what in the world hap
pened?" exclaimed Corinne. "Do g"t
into your story quick, Patty ,and leave
out the preliminaries.”
"No story is good without the prop
er introduction," returned Patty, re
provingly, "and this is just like the
stories you read in books.”
Seeing that her listener was proper
ly impressed, Patty went on: “I had
promised Merrill that I would press
out his muffler, so I put an iron on
that little stove attached by a hose to
the jet near mother’s dresser and
then went down to the library to
read, while it <vas heating. Only a
few minutes later there came a smell
of burning stuff and the room began
to fill with smoke."
"Why, Patty, it was a f»e!"
"Please don’t interrupt. Corinne, hut
you guessed correctly. Instead of
rushing wildly into the street or
screaming for Hilda in the kitchen, 1
ran upstairs and by some instinct
made for mother’s room. There the
seething, roaring flames met my
gaze.”
“You didn't go in?" cried Corinne
“I did,” declared Patty grimly,
though well pleased with the effort ol
her recital upon her listener. "Of
course, the fire was over in the coi
ner, where Merrill's muffler, dangling
from the dresser, was a mass of
flames. Without a cry, but with my
face deadly pale- -I could see myself
in the mirror—I rushed into the mid.-t
of that terrible conflagration and
turned off the open gas jet. The
frightful heat and smoke and odor al
most overcame me. I fell back only
to come on again with renewed de
termination, dragging mother's new
blankets which had lain folded on the
conch, 1 dashed tin* bundle with all
niy strength on that wicked blaze."
"Why, what if yon had caught or.
fire?”
“In such moments of peril," said
Patty grandly, "one must not think
of one's self. Next I rushed to the
telephone and told the operator that
our house was burning to the ground
and asked her to ring the alarm for
me. In an another second or two 1
had Merrill on the wire. To him I
had barely reported that our home
was in flames and I was battling with
them all alone when I heard the re
ceiver drop at his end of the line.
“Py lids time I was faint and gid
dy with ttic smoke 1 ran to the win
dows and threw them open just as
the hook and ladder wagon came tear
ing along. I waved to the driver to
stop and tlie firemen yelled to me not
to jump.
"There came a horrible crashing
and falling. It proved to be out front
