his way to the middle above the

20 HE old bridge looks safe enough
to me-" said Dave Stevenson, as
a he brought the automobile to a
- stop. "Tll wager it's good tor
another hundred years"
"The spans are probably stout
enough" replied George Burrows. as
the two young men got out OF the car
and approached the old covered
bridge. But It's the piers the select
men are afraid Of Look at them!
You can see the mortar is all washed
out from between the stones. the
piers won't be able to stand many
more floods like this one"
"They do look pretty loose" ad-
mltted Dave, but they're probably as
solid as ever inside. Come on. let's
go out and have a look at the chan-
mel pier from the window"
George hesitated, but he was as
eager for an adventure as Dave was
and finally followed him out on the
bridge.
The selectmen would have had the
old bridge removed altogether II II
had not been for the strong opposlti"n
OF popular sentiment. For over cen
tury the bridge had served the town
OF Pelham. and there was much local
pride in the ancient wooden structure
with It's oak arches. 1t had become
picturesque relic OF the past But
practically It did not seem worth while
to so to the expense of making It un-
questlonably safe. The main current
OF travel had shifted to a new steel
bridge four miles upstream. So the
selectmen had left the fate of the
bridge to the next annual town meet
ing and meanwhile had ordered both
ends OF the bridge boarded up. But
the few pedestrians who found the
bridge n convenient shortcut had
loosened a plank or two at each end so
they could cross.
The young men reached the middle
81 the bridge and leaned out OF win
dow just above the middle pier on the

knees on the outer end of the second
sp;s' from shore. Turning swiftly he
saw Dave scramble to his feet lust as
the sinking span tore loose entirely
and disappeared below the surface of
the water
Shaking with fear, George stood
watching for the temperance of the
span Yards downstream, it slowly
reared part of its bulk above the wa
ter Dave was not to be seen.
George instantly realized that If he
were to help Dave there was no use
IN mis- staying there. Dave was on his
way downstream either in the span
or near it. So George darted back
10 the car and was soon speeding
downstream along the muddy. little
used river road. And after a moment
he gave shout of Joy for he saw
Dave emerge from one end of the
hoating span and climb to its top.
Dave waved his arm and George
waved back. laughing in his relief
Then his fear swept over him again
with redoubled force for he Thought
suddenly of the Hastings dam two
miles down the river. Dave wouId
never be able to survive the trIp over
the dam. If the span did NOT hraal,
up and crush him among the timbers
1t would assuredly be rolled over and
over and only by miracle could Dave
stay safely aboard it.
There were no houses near the river
thereabouts and no boats. The river
road was little used and there wos
not much chance that George would
meet anyone who could help him Anv
attempt at rescue depended entirely
upon himself alone. Suddenly George
thought Of a way by which he might
yet save Dave.
He threw on full speed and quickly
outstripped the span. Less than n
quarter OF mile from the dam he
stopped where little point jutted out
into the river. George then seized a
small but strong towing rope that
formed part Of the cars equipment
and hurried out on the promontory
There he found himself at ono end OF
what looked like a dclapidatcd sus-
pension foot-bridge across the river.
1t consisted OF boards about two
feet long laid few inches apart upon
two light wire cables that swung
across the river from the tops of
wooden towers twenty-five feet high.
1t had been built by the electric light
company to carry electric cables
across the river. But these had been
transferred to the new steel bridge and
the little suspension bridge had swung
unused for years. Some of the board
had dropped into the river and all
were old and decaying. One cable
had sagged so that the boards slanted
dangerously.
The cables came over the ton OF the
