Afraid It Would Break.

He was big Irishman and his name
was Pat. He was fixing the telephone
wires and whistliqg to himself as ne
worked. Just then a milk boy came
driving down the street, and Pat made
a fatal mistake. Instead Of attending
to his own business he tried to WORK
and watch the reckless driver at the
same time. The consequence was that
he did neither. What he did do was
to lose his footing. There was cry OF
horror from the bystanders below,
echoed by lusty yell from above.
Every breath was suspended and
then a shout of relief went up from the
crowd. Pat had made a frantic dive
for the wire and had caught it.
Hold on, Pat" shouted someone who
knew him. 1--WE will get you down
somehow"
Then a wave of horror swept over
the crowd The man suspended be-
tween the earth and heaven suddenly
Ioosened his hold and fell backward
striking the ground with a sickening
thud.
"He is dead!' groaned the crowd, ano
men covered their faces from the sight
But he wasn't. When Pat came to
and sat up dizzily, trying to realize thai
he was once more on terra frma, some
one said to him:
"What did you let go for, Pat? Why
didn't you hold on little while longerr
"Be jabersw replied Pat earnestly
