[I "The two buildings were about two thousand feet apart. One was old; the other had Just been thtitrhed. The boiler rooms and furnaces were Bit. uated in the old building. Leading from this building to the new was a tunnel, tour feet square. and lined on all sides with concrete. A toot. from the Mor a network of steam pipes ra_n the entire length of the tunnel. "A gigantic tan in the boiler room pumped air through the tunnel. In passing over the steam pipes the Mr became heated, and kept the new building at the proper temperature. "The stystem was controlled auto. matically by compressed air. When the tempersture In the new building rose too high, the thermostat auto- mucully shut ot the tan, and turned cold water Into the pipes in the tunnel. When the temperature tell too low, the thermostat started the fan, and turned the steam back into the pipes. "The pipe that carried the compress- ed " ran through the tunnel, and it was on this pipe that the connection was to be made. “I put on my overalls and Jumper and went after my tools. My flash light was missing. so I ttlok_tt Ityb " a candle that a plumber had left, and entered the tunnel. "I crawled along until the light from the entrance grew so dim that I had to light my candle. Reaching into my pocket, I discovered that I had only two matches. But I went ahead, assisted by the feeble light from the taper. The connection was exactly in the centre ot the tun. nel. I reached it in a few minutes, did the work, and started back. “In my haste, I halt rose to my feet, and was going aang as fast as any- one in that crouching attitude could so. Suddenly, without warning, my foot caught in an opening between the pipes, and I fell. My head hit the sharp corner of a reinforcing rod that projected from the concrete wall. The fall knocked me unconscious. I lay there about~two hours. "I came to with the consciousness that I was in imminent danger. My head ached. Under me I heard the snapping and creaking of expanding steam pipes. In an Instant I realized my danger. Thinking that I had made the necessary connection and had left the tunnel. the Janitor, deem-ding to directions, was getting up steam. "I tried to rise, but my ankle was sprained, and l fell back. with a sharp exclamation of pain, on the hot steam pipes. My wound opened afresh, and I could feel the warm blood stream- ing down over my face. Again I tried to rise, but the pain was too much for "The treat of tho pipes was getting lnsupportable. They began to burn my hands and legs cruelly. To make mat. ters worse, I was so confused that I had lost. all sense of direction. "Suddenly, in the distance, I heard the grinding of the huge fan. The Janitor was Just starting It. In a few minutes it would be going at full speed. "An Idea flashed through my dulled brain. I groped over the pipes until l found my candle. l carefully lit my last match and touched it to the candle. The almost imperceptible current had at first no etteet on the candle, it was so slight. Almost in- stantly, however. the tiny flame bent to one side. and showed me plainly the way to safety. "The pipes were so hot that I could no longer touch them. I tore " my Jumper and shirt. and wrappéd one round etch hand. I hem to drag myself along.
