a grave of
quick-lime.

On the roof above, two young people stood breathing heavily and happily,
staring incredulously into each other's eyes. Running toward them across
the roofs, stumbling and falling, were many blue-coated, helmeted angels
of peace and law and order.

"How can I tell you?" whispered the girl quickly. "How can I ever thank
you? And I was angry," she exclaimed, with self-reproach. "I did not
understand you." She gave a little sigh of content. "Now I think I do."

He took her hand, and she did not seem to know that he held it.

"And," she cried, in wonder, "I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME!"

The young man seemed to have lost his confidence. For a moment he was
silent. "The name's all right!" he said finally. His voice was still a
little shaken, a little tremulous. "I only hope you'll like it. It's got
to last you a long time!"
