near the brink of the roof, and peered
down into the depths. The roof of
the factory, or whatever it was, lay
far below, but he saw small pro-
lection jutting out from the building
on which he was standing, about half
way down. All, if the rope had only
been double it's length. Then a
thought occurred to him whereby he
might make his little rope do double
service.
Fastening it to a hook, where a
ightning-rod had formerly been, he
threw the loose end over the wall,
where it dangled in space. Under
the knot he had tied about the hook
he placed candle and lit it. His
intention was that by the time he
had reached the lower projecting
ledge, the candle would have burned
it's way through the rope, it would
drop into his hands and then he
would be able to use it again to
reach the roof of the factory. Hav-
ing arranged this, Job scrambled
over the edge of the parapet, and,
climbing to the rope, launched ~him-
self into space. He knew that it was
possible that the candle might burn
the rope through before he reached
the ridge of safety, but it was neces-
sary that he should take the risk.
In his swinging descent, he could
not help but look upward at the far
ing candle, the progress of. which
was to decide his fate, for life or
death. An old rope like that must
consume rapidly. Would it ever last
until he had reached the ledge?
But his movements had been so
precipitate that he finally swung
over on to the ledge and rested
there, before the rope finally swept
out with trail of fire, the one end
of which he still held. At the same
time he heard rumbling noise above
his head which showed that the
trap door had been forced open, and
that the police must now be upon the
roof.
They must soon see the candle,
which in that calm and placid night
was probably still burning, and they
would know where to look for the
man who was attempting to escape.
The ledge to which Job chung was
before a great iron door probably
used to admit goods into the estab-
lishment.. He found a hook to which
he could fasten the end of his rope,
sadly charred by fire, and again
launched himself into space.
It seemed to him that it was hours
before he reached the end of the
rope, and he could hear the angry
voices on the top of the roof. OF
course, as soon as they found the
candle, they must find, too, where he
had gone.
He had come to the end of the
cable, and as there was nothing else
to do, he let himself drop, where, he
did not know, for it was very dark.
He struck. something hard-the roof
of the factory-and then rolled down
until stopped by a curving gutter.
He looked with shudder down into
the street, which, though not far
below, was of sufficient distance to
have killed him had he fallen.

CHAPTER XXI. e
THE FACE OF THE FOE.

II r
Job Hendricks scrambled to his
feet and looked up at the roof of the
building he had escaped from but a
few moments before. He could dis
tinguish a number of dark, moving
objects bearing lights. The police
had brought lanterns with them to
prosecute the search, and some; ly ing
at full length, were peering down
over the parapet of the building into
the gloomy depths below.
o Job did not move, hoping to escape
observation in the shadows, and
presently he heard one of the men
above saying confidently:
THE poor wretch must have tried
to climb down, and fell and killed
hisself."
Job waited to hear more but it was
not Forthcoming. Evidently the COM
rades of the man who had made this
statement believed as he did that the
object of their search had escaped
them. After a time they slowly dis
persed, land the light. no longer
twinkled from the roof above.
Nov or never is the time to get
out of this" Job muttered to himself.
They are making for the street to
make sure that am dead, and, find
ing no sign of the remains, will prob
ably renew the search"
Making his way carefully along
the edge of the roof, he was. over

age and broken, enabled him to make
his way down to. the street. Feeling
sure that the front of the hotel must
be guarded, he. chose to take the
opposite direction.
Hearing the sound of steps ap-
preaching, he paused for a moment

man had come out of one of the doors
of the hotel, and as for moment the
light fell on his face, Job recognized

not fully recovered from his exper-
fence, or the narcotic effects Of the
ring.

What Was ItY

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug 3rd.-One of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred mere
recently. The son of Mr.. q. l.. Butler was
very i'll. The doctor said he had some dis
ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv-
Gus and trembling and want to run out of
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
frightened him.
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw a new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to- give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not been
troubled since. Mr.. Butler says:
81 feel it my duty to tell what Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have done. for. my boy. All this
remedy needs is fair chance and it will
speak for itself"

Construction of line of railroad
