ready to be hotatm to tbe twentieth bolted ovrr their tops and bottoms wu story this immense girder of course weighed totm it bad been pointed with red lead tbe day before and was rather sill pery the workmen passed a strong chain directly round its tnl- h hny did nnt stnn to insert any plonks to keep the links from slipping it wos not always safe to hoist iron to iran but in this case no wood was at hand and there was need of haste two half hitches with a small rope or tog line wore taken ubout o yard from the left end of the girder all ready come the cry the signalman standing on the front of the twentieth floor not far from the derrick pressed an eleotria button on an adjoining column and gave the englneor one bell the chain grated taut wlowly ihglpderrose up went the girder held parallel with tbe front of the building by the man with the tag line it passed story after story until it was opposite the itrteenth then its left end swung slightly in prom the sill of a window that opened on tho sixteenth floor uawetlyn leaned out o n t mw m that h would not scratch the soft lime atone out he leaned too soon on too far just as his hands were about to touch the steel it swerved away kor an

tntantly govt the engineer a bell to stop hoisting the girder hung in mid air and the end to which llewellyn was desperately clinging swung now several feet from the sky- seraper the steelworker was in fearfulperil ills smeared fingertips were too slip pery to retain a arm hold and now to add to the danger of his predlca mint the left end of the beam over weighted by his hundred and fifty pounds began to hit downward in a vjry short time the beam would tilt to such an engki that hln nngers woul l b unablo to kp their hold on the slippery mange a grinding pound drew bis eyes to the chain round the middle of the girder the strain log- links moved jorklty it was only a slight shift but llewellyn s practiced eye- saw at once what would j presently happen tho paint was so green that it acted as a lubricant between the chain and the bar the links above the top plate were sliding beck whcr the girder had tilted to a sufnclen angle u wcuti slip through the chain and drop to the ground close to llewellyns right arm lay the two half hitches of the tag line for a second he entertained the wild idea of trying to slide down it to safetybut ha iulcky dismissed the thought long before he could hopo to reach the ground even if the half hitches did not pull out his weight on the swaying rope would tilt the beam so far that it wontjl come thundering down upon his head there was no escape in that way down down down stegdlly remorse lesaly sank the left end of the great red stick of steel and as steadily the right end rose llewellyn s brali seeosed paralysed ills body hod bung at right angles with the girder now every second the angle lessened already his fingers were slipping a little more and he would lose his held altogether he glanced over his shoulder along tho front of tho building fifty feel away optooltq the rising right end of the beam the riveting crew stood motionless on their swing- staging thompson and kennedy were staring at him white faced but kents eyrts were fastened or the rising girder end which was now almost level with the stage suddenly he dropped his dolly bar and iutt0tid as if he were braclne himself for a tremendous effort hold hardl he cried to xjewellyn then with both arms extended he leajed straight out into the air towak tho beam instantly the straw boss understood if the equilibrium of the girder could be restored be- had a chance kent was risking his own life in the hope that his weight if added to the other end of the steel would bring it back to horuontal before llewellyn felt the buckaroo had timed his leap just right the foreman looking up the slanting red surface saw his res cuers arms dart over the top plate and sow his angers grip the aanga could his weight overcome the mo montum of those tons of metal and force them back seconds of suspense wenhy long terrible seconds to llewellyn down sank the beam still down almost to the point where he could hold no longer he pressed his angers into the point to nig right the chain links ground one slipped noises from the street below rose to hi ears jrom the upper end of the girder kents face looked down at htm an xious but calm suddenly a gmlle curved his tips the beam had stopped ising it cen began to sink slowly a shout of triumph burst from thomp son and kennedy the buckaroo had won evan before it had resumed a hori xontal porlllon kent g is peed up at tl signalman lower awayl he cried k the exurlne started and the fall began to runt through the sheaves dawn went the girder steadied by the tag line until the men s toes touched the ground llewellyn stepped up to the back aroo and stretched out a calloused hand youve saved my ltfe kent grasped the hand forget it he replied suddenly a puxxled look overspread his face and he passed his hand his jaw thats funny he exclaimed tvo been awake since midnight with tbe toothache and now it s all gone not a twjnge left i must hove frightened it out of me sure cure but dont know as td recommend it to everyone he continued apologetically tou fellows must have thought wss pretty grumpy thbj morning but im almost as deaf as a haddock from ten years hand riveting on boilers and that together with the

had really mads a decided ad ranee over the old model a patent was taken out by the company ard turners pay was raised though he was still tapphur wheels ue kept on studying air brakes however and made one improvement after another alter awhile turner was invited to become member of the air brak- assoclatton he went to a convention in imttsburg and read a paper on bis work george weatlngnote
