WATCHING A HOLE IN THEGROUND
One OT the Many Odd Occupations I'm which
Men Find Employment.

Among the more odd Of the city's many
odd occupations" said a man who finds
an interest in such things. lis that which
consists in watching a hole in the ground.
the hole being a cellar excavation in which
il ia intended later to lay the foundations
Of a building. Certainly an odd occupa-
ton this. and a curious thing about It 10
that it is ollowed only at night.
you car see that the employment OF
such a Waterman will prevent cider
BY day. when the digging Is going on, there's
always people around. but by night. when
the hole is left alone. there must be some
body TO look after H.,
"The last thing the diggers do when
they quit for the day Ia TO stand up along
the edge OF the excavation, at the inner
edge OK the sidewalk a scattering row Of
empty barrels, on the tops OF which they put
a line Of planks, and on top Of these planks.
il peTChance a load or two OF rough founda-
ton stone has already g delivered.
they put some big rough chunks OF stone
TO keep the planks down. And II is at this
stage OF the proceedings that the night
watchman comes on duty.
He surveys the hole silently. n then
he lights his pipe and his lantern. and II
there are red lights TO be set up he lights
them and puts them in place. and then he
is ready to settle down for his nights work.
IL the builder has got a shanty on the
ground he sits in the door OF that and
smokes; II no shanty, he may find a barrel
TO sit on, or he may stand and watch, or
he may move slowly about.
And there you'll find him. come along
at whatever Our OF the night you will.
You may not see him at first IA you draw
near. but then you come upon him In tbs
dark or emerging out OF a shadow, or you
may find him walking slowly; but In what
ever manner you find him he never speaks,
he is always silent.
you may pass there night after night
and come TO know the watcher when
you see him. but you never hear his voice.
Dark and silent the deep excavation may
he, but equally silent and mysterious n
the watcher as he appears TO you in the
dim light or disappears in the shadow:
and 80 he keeps vigil nightly In what seems
to me really one OF the oldest OF all odd
occupations, namely. watching a hoe In
