half way down to the shed.
Serious doubts as to the stability
OF the pipe now assumed leading
place In his mind. but he had gone too
far to retreat.
Alas! his fears proved too well
grounded.
The wretchcd fabric gave way the
very instant his full weight rested
upon II.
Having no hold above. below. It
was natural that the doughty warrior
should make much more expedi-
tious descent than he had calculated
on in his most sanguine moments.

led John in his hasty descent, 1t may
be safely assumed that the advent OF
the soldier and tinware upon the roof
OF the colonnade was marked by suf-
fcient racket to arouse the Seven
Sleepers. or so far toward awakening
the dead.
Thus our hero landed on the lower
roof in n position about as sprawling
as that Of frog-his one immediate
thought being to prevent himself from
continuing the fall as far as the
ground.
The clatter would, OF course, arouse
every soul about the plantation.
This was n foregone conclusion.
He grimly admitted that his chances
to escape just then were slim indeed.
Loud outcries could be heard-men
shouted to one another-lights fash
ed through the windows Of the old
house. and the excitement was COM
municated to the negro quarters.
One glance showed John several
men running in the direction OF the
house. the leader carrying a lighted
lantern.
1t was time for action, since a
delay would bring his enemies on the
scene. and render all chances OF es-
cape hopeless.
So over he went, not in q mad
leap. but by hanging with his hands
and lowering his body managing to
shorten his fall.
Here again fortune played him .

The roof sloped down within reach,
! ing distance of his embrasure.
A determined man. crawling out of
everything on the cast OF a die could
at least grasp the coping.
After that success or failure must
rest entirely with his own muscular
powers.
He only waited long enough to cor
rectly gauge the distance and make
sure his muscles were in good condi.
tion.
Then, pressing outward. he stretch.
ed his arms upward until the edge OF
the roof was within his grasp.
Another moment and he stood erect
one leg was thrown up over the cop
ing-a muscular tension OF the ath.
letlc frame, and the thing had been
accomplished.

tion.
The battle was not yet won-no
one knew this better than Colonel
John.
The first act of the soldier was to
allow himself TO slide down the slop-
ing roof until he rested his feet In the
gutter.
This gave him an opportunity TO re-
lieyo the strain upon his arms.
Surely he must discover some
means OF reaching the ground In
safety-be 1t waterpipe or n light
ming rod. he cared little. since the
opportunity was what he sought.
BY degrees the colonel made his
way from one end OF the roof to the
other.
Not n single tree offered friendly
limb.
True. he did discover tin water.
spout at the center. but here would
be considerable risk in attempting a
descent through such means.
Rather than climb the slope OF the
roof and descend again on the other
side he resolved to trust his weight
to the waterplpe.

tin. and presently was hanging there

The matter was more than joke

This gave him no encouragement. for
the walls offered little opportunities

the stones were well set and his best
efforts failed to dislocate any one OF
them.
A search OF his person brought 10
