ringing the bell after a moments hesitation ho turned into a door bpenlng into a narrow stairway that led to the roof tho big water tank that stood on its iron stilts on the roof has just been repaired and he wanted to take a look at it before ho started away on his three wooks va cation with his usual carefulness ho closed the trapdoor behind him as ho camo out on the roof and walking over to the ladder climbed to tho top of tho tnnlt tho plumber must have turned on the water some time before ho loft tho jog as there was now at lcast a foot of wafer jn tho tank as mr benson stood on tho top of the ladder a sudden puff of wind took off his hat and as ho clutched at it the ladder slipped backwards in spite of his frantic efforts to save himself he pitched forward into tho tank with a migrtity splash fortunately ho fell with arms and legs outspread and this together with tho water on the bottom broke his fall but it was a sorely bruised and shaken man who presenxljr stood up dripping and lifted his voice shouted for help hla voico rang echoing about the b tank w a that tho wall throw ij upward with all hih might only to hear it spat on th roof near the tank ho had tried to throw it sons to fall into the street bolow he searched his pockets for some thing olso to throw money he had in plenty but all in bills ho took out his watch and weighed it in his hand and- looked up at the rim of tho tank above him even as ho did so ho thought of his shoo took it off- put another bit of paper imiido frlohund into the cashiers windowl again threw with air his force the little patriot wellnigh deafened him but ho knew before he opened his lips that his shouts were useless the tank was tho- roof of one of the highest of tho new buildings in baltimore and a building that stood in the very mid dle of the citys noise nevertheless ho shouted until his throat grew raw and his voice grown weak and then when he could shout no more he be gan to examine the walls of his prison thoy had been made of broad staves of seasoned oak two inches thick set so as to slope inward toward the top arid were now covered iwlth a thick coat of slime ho took outhls pen knife and began to carve away at the thick boards but he had hardly cut through thojrijraobxoro a new thought stayed his hand and set him to shout ing once more the water was rising in thetank slowly indeed but surely he had nover swam a stroko in his life and long before ho could make im pression on tho6 stout boards he wouhd bo drowned like a rat in trap again to hear it drop on tho roof noarj by in tho

no light in tho dim circle over head until a single star climbed high into the sky and looked down on him in the darkness that was fast growing into despair- the man found little comfort as ho watched
