purpose of dumping trash into a large
opening of a furnace feeder. He
thought the tail-piece was securely
fastened by chains SO picking up a
barrel to throw into the incinerator he
stepped upon the tail-piece which in
stantly gave way under his weight.
Feet foremost the Italian shot to-
ward the furnace opening which
yawned under the rear of the wagon
Just as his feet entered the opening
Besselman, who happened to be stand
ing by the wagon, threw both arms
about Loschiavo and hurled him
against nearby wall, saving him from
