dam ran down his neck, and soaked
his clothing. Just how near the brink
was he did not know, but he was sure
that he could not be very far away.
1t was some minutes before Foster
discovered the older mans disappear
ance. When the accident took place
he was standing with his back to the
road, driving his spade into the fros-
ty clay. The roar of the storm and
the shrieking of the whistle had pre-
vented him from hearing Wetherbee's
cry. He carried two shovelfuls of
earth through the gloom before he
missed the engineer. A flash of light
ming came as he struggled toward
the dam with his third shovelful; he
looked about, but his companion was
nowhere to be SEEN The light died
out.
Foster stopped short, horror-stick-
en-. Had Wetherbee fallen into the
quarry? It seemed only too likely,
Hardly daring to expect a reply, he
shouted at the top of his lungs;
Frank! Frank!"
A faint voice seemed to answer
him from the darkness below. Dis
trusting his ears, he waited for an
other flash. 1t came; and there on
his back in the middle of the ice
glazed road lay the engineer, his
right foot barely yard from the
brink of the pit
"How could the younger man rescue
his superior? He could not get with
in eight feet of him on that slippery
slope It was too far to reach down

Of rope in the boiler-house, but could
he safely spare ten minutes to go
for it, with several leaks still threat
ening the dam? It was Wetherbee
himself who decided the matter. His
voice came feebly up to the hesitat-
ing lad:
elk the dam first, Bent. If the
water gets the start of you, I'm done
for. You can get the rope after
you've made everything tight"
Foster grasped the situation. The
leaks, still undammed and every mo-
ment growing larger, must be stop
ped at once With blistered hands
and straining back he resumed his
labors. On the strength and endur-
ance of his two arms hung the life
of his companion Why did not some

one hear that shill whistle, screeching
SO loudly for help?
A low, hoarse cry from the black
ness terrified him:
"Good-by, Bent! I'm slipping"
The engineer, chilled and cramped,
had stirred slightly to gain an easier
position; the support under his foot
had given way, and he was again slip
ing slowly but surely downward In
vain he stamped madly on the CLASSY
surface. At last, just in the nick of
time, he stopped; it was not an inch
too soon. His left heel had caught
against some protuberance, his right
had slid out over the verge of the
rock!
Almost despairing, Foster AGAIN
called out:
care you there, Frank?"
Back came the answer, barely more
than horse whisper:
"All right Work QUICKLY"
The younger man had already laid
aside his mackintosh; now he tore off
his coat as we'll, and flung away his
cap, exposing himself to full fury of
the storm. Back and forth between
bank and dam he toiled, hurting him
self with fury on his task till the stout
shove1-handle quivered, and the steel
rang against the frosty clay. He
knew that Wetherbee's life hung in
the balance. Oh for two or three
barrow loads of dry, gritty dirt in
stead of that slush!
Meanwhile the engineer, prone in
the muddy stream, gazed up, now in
to impenetrable blackness, now into
binding light; rain-beaten and chill

He suffered far worse in mind than
in body Horrible fears tormented
him. Again and again he imagined
that the little nodu1e beneath his
heel was giving way. Was it ice or
rock? Whichever it might be, it was
the only thing between him and GER

I Below The Dam s
~. .~n.A

Wetherbee, engineer at the Hammond
limerick quarry, and Benton Foster,
his nineteen-year-old assistant, were
in the boiler-house, pumping the pit
clear for the morrow's work. A
thirty-hour Southwestern was dying
out in the rather unreasonable novel
ty, spring thunderstorm with abun-
dant sheet lightning.
Wetherbee strewed a fresh shovel
full of coal over the glowing frebed
"Look down at the next flash, Bent"
said he, sand see if we're gaining on
the water"
Foster leaned out through the lit
tie window by the hoistre The hun
dred-foot chasm right below him was
suddenly filled with dazzling white
light, showing the tracks still food
ed and the walls gushing with num-
erous streams. A suspiciously large
torrent directly opposite drew his
quick glance up beyond the summit
of the cliff to a low bank of earth.
The blaze vanished with a tremendous
thunder-crash that almost drowned
his cry of alarm:
cts running over the dam"
The engineer was quickly at his
side peering into the gloom.
"Can't be!' he exclaimed. "Just
before dark the ice was solid and six
inches below the top"
But the next flash convinced him.
"You're right, Bent!" he shouted.
THAT means troub1e!'
"Sha11 I run after Tom Sparrow and
his brother?" inquired Foster.
1--WE haven't second to waste.
The two of us can do more than a
dozen could in fifteen minutes"
Hastily donning caps and rubber
coats, they each seized coal-shovel
and Wetherbee hung the lighted lam
tern on his left arm. AS they hur-
ried towards the door, he jerked down
the white-cord and 1ooped it over a
rail. Overhead pea1ed out the seam
blast, shri1l and insistent.
"That may call somebody, if the
storm isn't too loud" said he.
Buffeted by the southwest gale,
they skirted the edge of the pit at a
cautious dog-trot through the wet,
slippery grass. Now the lightning
revealed their path with painful dis
tinctness; now only the dancing rays
from their lantern penetrated the
gloom.
'Mind your footing!" exclaimed
the engineer, as they drew closer to
the brink.
The cause of this hurried expedi-
ton was an eight-foot dam across
an old sunken road through the top
rock between the Hammond quarry
and The adjoining Sales quarry, now
abandoned and full of water Thu
road constructed some twenty yclrs
before, when the rock was hauled ou
by teams and both plants were oper-
ated on the same level, had fallen
into disuse as the excavations grew
deeper and steam hosting was intro
duced. The abandonment of the Sal
es quarry and it's gradual flooding had
made a dam necessary the previous
summer.
AS it was expected that work would

or four acres would rush and fooe

AS Wetherbee looked down from
the bank above the road, he gave J.;
cry of dismay. A second later Eos

the banks of his side, and to throw i
