Scannells big fist doubled but when he realized how
small Jimmy was he silently looped the chain and gave
the signal to hoist
Now, apparently McGrath could have done nothing
more irrational than to give Scannell such working
mate-the yoking of rasping grasshopper and sour
tempered elephant to make tremendous pull against
time-hut the men aloft satisfied for they ex-
pected the weakened hosting team to bring up steel at

Jimmy's flow of banter did not stop at Scannell in

the work at the hoist.

McGrath observed that Scannell,
though daring, took no foolish risks and
disclosed an unexpected softness when
he helped to bring up from the base
ment to the ambulance or the narrow
black wagon the lads who had mis-
stepped on sky beam or leaned too
confidently against gusty wind.
Scannell's mate at the chains in the
lower end of the derrick-boom cable
had been changed by McGrath several
times, because it was hard to find a
man able to match Scannell's headlong
pace and prodigious strength. In
swinging out into the chains, to be
lowered from the towering frame into
the deep chasm of the street for the
steel pieces waiting on the truck, Scan
nell had trained the donkey-engine man
to plunging speed. And at the bot
tom. his leap to the truck, his swift
looping of the chain about a piece, his
instant motion for a cautious start, and
then frantic signals for a flying hoist
while he boldly stood erect on the piece,
put so heavy a strain on the procession
of his mates that finally McGrath gave
him Jimmy Caldwell, who was very
small, and more kinds of a monkey than
had ever broken into Scannell's expe-
rience.
Jimmy developed string of queerly
assorted attacks on Scannell's somber,
ferocious seriousness. First was raillery
at Scannell's "blimed slowness." IVY,

dinnyrnite bomb under your chair was

a flying leap into the chains aloft that
ierked Scanned up google eyed. "That's

phantly cried And at the bottom of
the plunge to the street, during which he
whined at the drafted protast1gation"
(which would have sounded less awful
if he had pronounced it procrastina-
tom, he outstripped Scannell in spring
upon the truck and jeered at Scannell's
numbering in dragging up the heavy
chain to loop it under the piece. ooh,

burst of disgust. "W'y didn't McGrath
