streets and into the smaller pipes to swell
the flow of the great sewer?
And then he felt something wet creep
ing about his feet. He lit another match.
\ thin film of water was trucking over
the footpath. In the thirty minutes since
he had entered the sewer the water had
risen d foot. He ran. onward and on
ward. until an opening similar to the one
which admitted him met his eye. Into 1t
he crawled until he reached the manhole
at the end, and as he grasped the first
rung of the iron ladder built into the
wall a flood of water surSed to his waist.
Up he climbed until his head struck the
iron cover of the manhole
Through the tiny hole in the lid he
could see that it was still night. The
water had risen another foot below him,
and then remained stationary. His sup
ply of air was becoming exhausted. Brac-
ing himself he pushed the great iron lid
up and little to one side. The grass of
the White House ellipSe was within a few
inches of his face.
Slim remained quiet until rested. He
knew that to take his chance Of making
a clean getaway through the streets OF a
city was the act of desperate and cor
nered man only. He was desperate, but
not yet cornered. Besides. nobody knew
he had made for the sewers except the
he lurched headtirst into the sewer water
a mile back. SO slim crawled down into
the tunnel again.
The water had subsidized. and he made
his way along the footpath at good rate
On and on he walked Sometimes he
stopped to light a match that he might
see that the swollen current was not ris-
ing, for no good yeggman gets caught
twice by the same trap. and Slim was
taking no chances. Suddenly he stepped
into nothingness and then-water, deep
water. He was struggling in the river
basin near I'D and n streets southwest
Slim fought his way back to the sewer
mouth against the strong current, and
climbed ashore.
