THE "SkIP'S" STORY

"Hello, old chap! Here's the flask
for you, anyway" he suddenly shout.

Il went flashing and circling through
the cir, and fell with a crash on q big
stone just behind the horse, whose dri.
yer was with q crowd Of loafcrs some
twenty or thirty yards away.
The horse gave frightened leap. and
salloped OF at o speed that I hadn't
thought was In him. The rope whixxed
over the pulleys, and the half.filled tub
shot up towards US like a rocket.
It came against the upper block with
Q crash that threatened the overthrow
Of the whole staging. Posts swayed
and bent at their joints: boards, loose
brick and tools slipped from their
places and went rafting down below.
We clutched at the top Of the chimney
% the steadiest object within reach.
But the newly.laid brick moved under
our hands, and gave little promise Of
holding % up.
The horse was checked for o moment
when the tub came against the upper
block: but he bent wildly to his traces,
and the fastening Of the lower block
gave way. He had now Q direct pur.
chase on the upper corner Of the stag.

The only thing which saved II from
being torn away at the first tug. was
the horse being unable to bring his full
strength 10 bear. The rope ascended
ct IN angle which lifted the traces
above his back, and shifted the strain
from his shoulders to his neck. He was
half checked and thrown to the ground.
The staging groaned and reeled -
he struggled to get on bis feet again.
His driver stood stupidity looking up ct
10 without moving step. The whole
thing happened In 10 few seconds, that
Il 10 not much wonder the mans pres.
sncs Of mind left him. Tho horse
scrambled to his knees, then to his feel,
and pulled frantdcally. The strain at
the top Of the chimney became fright.
full Il seemed that not only the stag.
Ing. but the whole upper part Of the
chimney would be pulled away and fall
at the next plunge.
Neither Charley nor had spoken a
word. We just held on, and gasped and
wondered how Il would feel when ev.
erythinR gave way. And we forgot all
about the managers son until he spoke
up behind 10:
''Say, It's about time to cut this rope.

Before We could turn our heads there
was q sharp click on the block. Tho
