Steeplejacks Defy Death.

A wager of f5 has inspired four
steeplejacks, who have been repairing
one of rhe tallest chimney stacks in
the Mebden bridge district of York
shire to extraordinary feats, according
to the London Westminster Gazette.
They hoisted a bicycle to the top,
and on a wooden platform one of their
number balanced himself on the saddle,
while a second sat straddle-legged on
his shoulders with outstretched arms.
Two other thrilling feats were per-
formed. One of the steepIejacks stood
erect on a narrow iron spike on the
top of the chimney Then he seized
the topmost stave of a ladder, raised
his legs to the sky and balanced him.

What difference could 1t make wheth-

own hand, or been treacherously shot

Natalie Coolidge to have the truth

why should he devote his time and
labor to such an effort? She had cast
him off, thrown him aside; her af-
fairs had no further interest for him.
Let her lawyer take care of them.
These were Vests first thoughts.

West, now thoroughly puzzled and
already convinced that some mystery
lowered over the place, began to circle
through the untrampled clover, but
without any defined purpose. All at
once, at the lower end of the gully he
came, unexpectedly, upon another
trail. this one well marked. appar-
emily frequently used. which led
straight across the field, and terminal
ed at small gate leading through the
wire fence. Evidently here was a
short cut to the road. well known to
the servants on the estate, and possi-
bly, others. The discovery, however.
told nothing further than this. and
contenting himself with another glance
about the unchanged field Of rustling
clover, West proceeded along the
course of the path, intending to thus
rejoin the automobile. waiting his re-
turn behind the trees.
Within few steps of the gate.
which was closed, he came to sud-
den, Mortified pause, staring ahead at a
strange something huddled in the path.
1t was shapeless thing, bearing no
resemblance to q human being, until
he advanced closer; then he recog-
nized the form of man, curled up as
a dog sleeps, face down, hidden by his
arm, and limbs drawn up. as if in a
sudden spasm of agony. A hat was in
the path beyond, where it had fallen,
and a revolver lay glittering in the
sunlight few feet away. There was
nothing familiar about either figure or
clothing, yet unquestionably there lay
the body of suicide. The single shot
they had heard, the tell-tale revolver
close to the dead mans hand, were
clear evidence Of what had occurred.
The unexpectedness of this discov-
cry, the peculiar position of the dead
man, the loneliness of that deserted
field In which he lay. shocked West
and, for a moment left him strangely
hesitant. Who was the man? What
could have led up to the pitiful TRACE
dy? Yet he advanced step by step
nearer to the hideous object in the
path. The man had been shot directly
behind the right ear. killed instantly,
no doubt, as the deadly bullet crashed
through the brain. West lifted the arm
which concealed the face, already
shrinking from the suspicion which
had began to assail him. Then he
knew who the dead man was-Percival
Coolidge.
West stood guard beside the body
until servants came and bore it to the
,. house, but made no effort to follow.
: Instead he gave his address to Sexton,
and continued his journey. into the
city. After what had passed between
them he had no desire to again en-
counter Miss Natalie; and under
these circumstances, actually shrank
from meeting her. Just what this
mans death might mean to the girl
he could not safely conjecture, yet
deep down in his own heart, he felt
convinced that this act of self-de-

West took cigar from his pocket,
and lit it. Although not altogether
clear in his own mind, he had begun
to see light.
