'FIRE' WRECKS MILLION

' View of the fire wrecking the big North End Bridge, spanning the Connecticut River between
the city of Springfield and the town of West Springfield, Mass. The intense beat quickly: buckled
and wrecked the steel framework. The bridge was the only means of trolley communication between
Springfield, West Springfield, West field, and Holyoke, while an old covered wooden bridge, scarcely
safe; is all that is left tor auto and horse or foot traffic. The fire severed a gas main, trunk line tele
phone, cable, a large water main, and several trunk line telegraph cables. The town of West Spring-
field,; dependent on Springfield for lighting current, was shrouded In darkness. It Is estimated the
total loss will anproach a million dollars.

THE WAT DICKY GREETED

also, waved to 'the girl whose hand
t,v ever had thought to take in
even common courtesy again, and
we hurried swiftly to her side,
She had her : suitcase in one
hand,' her bag in the other,' and
Dicky took. them from her In s
casual fashion as If she had been
a frequent week-end guest.
I reflected that I did not know
the circumstances of - their last
meeting and parting, and I won

mind a remembrance of that time.
No need to ask if Grace. Draper
remembered. She could control
her face and her voice, but there
was an expression in her eyes aa
she glanced quickly at Dicky and
then as quickly away again, that
told me she ' had forgotten no
slightest .incident, . of ; their ac
quaitance. " '; ''' ; :
-Hello, Grace! " Was it ' my
fancy, T or did Dicky . carefully
avoid anything but the most cas
ual glances. "How was the trip
warm?" T T' v; 7-. a
-"No, thank you,rvery pleasant,"
she responded In as carefully in
different a tone, taking my out-
stretcjfed hand In a firm grasp.
An Odd Experience
"Thank you '. for letting me
come, Madge," she said simply.
and. if I ever heard gratitude and
sorrowful remorse for, the past In
any human" being's voice I heard
It" in her's " fl" 1 "had wished I
could not have, helped giving her
an answer , in keeping .with, her
greeting, . ,
"I am glad to have you," I re
turned. "Come this way. , The
car Is right over here' .
I drove rapidly to the inn of
which Dicky had spoken, with
her by my side and. Dicky with
the luggage in the , tohneau. It
was one of the . oddest experi
ences of my, life, and t found my
self speculating, upon the mental
processes of the girL There was
not the slightest remnant, of the
sparkling -coquetry which hai
made her so alluring in , the old
days. , She was simply, dignity It-,
self to Dicky, charmingly friendly
to me, with Just the correct touch
of humility. ' . Was the truly re
pentanti or was she playing a dif
ficult part extremelywell? ,
"Oh, what a wonderfully pretty
placet" j, .;.t ; ..O,
... I think the, exclamation burst
simultaneously.-, from ,both Grace
Draper and mypelf, as I turned a
sharp corner under Dicky V-direc-tions
and drew up in front of a
rustle archway twined with climb
ing rose, bushes .catered with
buds.-- ; .. " -f-7 ;
"I thought ft would hit you
between the eyes, Madge. Dicky
said complacently, and for a long
minute we feasted our eyes npoa
the low, 1 rambling inn, set in a
grove of wonderful old trees. :
"How one can rest here!"
Grace Draper sighed, t
. s Madge's Question
"That's right," Dicky said eag
erly. "Yon must get a good long
rest and pick up a bit before you
begin work" -yOr -'.v;-,;;.H.--.v
. He -x was plainly embarrassed,
and I think Grace Draper's sharp
ened wits caught the truth then
from his manner.
VI suppose I'm too thin, and
and changed," she said with a
gallan attempt at a smile. '
"Rot! Dickly rejoined sharply,
I thought too promptly. It was
as it be had anticipated her ques
tion. "Ton look tired, of course,
but that will only be a matter of
a few days. And I can't possibly
begin work for over a. week jret;
Then we'll talk things over." .J j
"Very well." The words were
quiet enough, but there was !a
world ' of disappointed mortifica
tion la her roice. . I knew ; she
must have realized; perhaps, for
the first time, that not only her
exquisite beauty but her power
over Dicky was gone, and . the
knowledge must hate been misery
itself to. her. r Her voice haunted
me as we drove away, and I knew
it troubled Dicky also, AlthogV
his reaction ,to it took .the form
of irritated criticism. , ;
'Why. she's positively hag
gard! he exploded," as .we drove
away.! ;She won't do "at all. Of
course, Ehe ctill 13 lissome; and

It's hard as nails, all the youth
and expression: gone out - of it.
What the devil am I going to
do?" . - - - "
I made no reply, knowing' from
long experience that Dicky wished
none when he was fighting some
thing out with himself.
"I've got- it!" he exclaimed

postures I can do. I say, old deaf",
manage it for me, will you? Ask
Miss Foster, and, "yes of course
you'll have to include 'Sawbones'
to dinner out here to meet Grade!
Then we'll fix it up."
I could not forbear one aston
ished question. . 4
' "But do you think Miss -Foster
Will consent to pose?" .
"I'll bet yon anything you like
that she will," Dicky said, confi
dently.' ' -.t '
