Ing distance OF his embrasure.
A determined man. crawling out OF
the opening, and resolved to risk
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 condl.

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-
letic frame, and the thing had been
accomplished.
He lay quietly upon the roof for
little time to recover his breath before
venturiug upon a voyage of explora-
ton.
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-
lieve the strain upon his arms.
Surely he must discover some
means OF reaching the ground In
safety-be 1t a waterpipe or a 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 a single tree offered friendly
limb.
True, he did discover On 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 waterpipe.
With his knees he clutched the
tin, and presently was hanging there
