That had suddenly turned bitterly cold

Natertown to have concert on the
chimes in the tower Of the city hall
at midnight on Christmas Eve When
the weather was mild a considerable
crowd would gather n the Common
to listen to the music

Common and slipped along the side
OF the city hall to a rear basement

In a sudden panic he kicked and
beat at the door and shouted at the
top OF his voice. Thefe was no an
swer. though he shouted and kicked
the door again and again. He was
locked out on the balcony IN the midst
OF bowling BLIZZARD
When his whirling thoughts had
grown a little more steady Wallace
realized that his predicament justified
all his first. instructive fear Mr..
Hodge had finished the concert and
had hurriedly descended in the eie-
vstor. Probably both he and Mr..
Hartley were now on their way home.
Nobody would know he was up there
for his father would go home and 10

feet below him was the deserted Com
mon. Even II somebody should pass
near TO the tower It would be iInpos-
sible TO make him hear q cry for help
in that storm. Wailace's voice would
be snatched away by the wind and lost
IN the blizzard Besides the snow now
grew thicker all the time. II was
doubtful II he could see passer-by
and certainly nobody could see him up
there. He could not break down the

All the time It grew colder and cold

coat and stood on the leeward side of
the tower. Wallace was now shiyertne
and his teeth were chattering. He
knew that II he had to stay in that
exposed position until morning he
would be frozen to death.

now thought the boy, and no put down
his bundle which he had carried I'm
DER his arm all this while and went
through some rapid exercises to start
his blood circulating. Then he tramped
back and forth on the balcony trying
to think
suddenly It occurred to him that If
ne could get at the bells he might
summon help by ringing them. He
stopped and looked up at the bsifry
some twenty-five feet above his head
In the faint light that filtered up from,
the street lamps he could see the lat
tfce, like the shutters OF a great win

large enough to let him through II he
