Ittt,
TIE AWFUL LEAF DOWNWARD.
Tho policeman whose attention had
now been directed from the two men,
rushed toward the professor. Before
he had gone dozen feet, Odlum, with
out moments hesitation, had leaped
out from the railing into the air. He
held one hand above his head as u rud-
der 10 guide him in his descent.
The river below was at that moment
clear of shipping. A tug and schoon-
er iloatcd lazily in the stream several
hundred yards below the bridge. The
tug was filled with reporters and club
men. Captain Paul Boynton stood
near the PROV anNiously watching the
bridge.
The moment Prof. Odlum's body was
seen to leave the railing, Harry Z, Dix
ey,thc actor, started stop watch which
he held in his hard, in order to time
the descent.
For nearly hundred feet the pro-
fcSSor came down all right, feet fore
most. He shot downward with the
speed of Il meteor, his red suit making
him easily disccrnable for long dist
ancc.
When within thirty feet Of the water
the body began to turn, and as if real
i2ing his danger, Professor Odlum
brought down his hand with warlikc
motion to aid him in recovering his
balance.
The movement was, however, toe
late. His body had been turned 50 far
that it was impossible to change its
course.
A MIGHTY SPLASH IN TIE WATERS.
Half second later. with mighty
splash that threw up the water on all
sides rs if torn with n shell, Professor
Odlum's body struck the water on ont
SIDE and sank out of sight
The tug hurr1edly pushed itself for
ward to the place where the body fell
and Captain Boyton, after seeing tha
life prescrverS had been thrown out in
to the water, Sprang over the side o
the boat and waited for the body t,
come to the surface. Soon he saw th,
white face of the professor rising from
the water, and moment later was BY
