down the tunnel at him.
Jim heard his own voice repeat
twice more, 81 can't do it! can't do
itr' before he could clamp his teeth
shut and stop the hoarse flow of words
Weston moved toward him.
Jim tried to keep his mouth shut,
but his ragged nerves wouldn't hold.
81 can't go on! can't work herer
shut upv Weston said sharply
Pull yourself together. There's moth
ing to be afraid of in this miner'
The cut of the words had steady
ing effect and Jim got the breath back
into his lungs. But before he could or
ganize anything to say, the tunnel was
filled with the thunder of falling rock,
and his nerves cracked wide open.
He knew that he was yelling again,
and he knew that Weston was clutch
ing him furiously by the front of his
coat. He even heard the other man
shouting that what they heard was
only ore coming down a chute into
the cars, but he couldn't help what
he did. He failed out blindly with
both arms, tore loose from Weston's
grip and went plunging away toward
the mouth of the tunnel.
AS he passed the side drift, Jim
struck his head murderously on the
low-hanging pipes and went down.
He lost his safety helmet as he fell,
but daylight was in sight down the
shining rails and he staggered up and
went on. He was out of the mine and
half way down through the plant be-

nerve in his body screamed for light,
he held his hand away from the switch
and let the fear ride.
After moment he spoke out loud:
I'm yellow. All yellow! But this
time I'm going down. I'm going down
even if it's just place to hide!'
Savagely he tore off his clothes and
found the bed. For a long time he lay
thinking and listening to the steady
thunder of the rotary furnaces. When
be dozed off at last, sleep turned that
thunder into a grinding bedlam of
caving mine walls and timbers that
brought him awake again cold and
shaking. After that there was no more
sleep. He just waited for morning.
IT WAS almost six when the slow
winter daylight grayed the windows.
Jim got up and put on his clothes. He
knew he had to be ready to 60 with
Fred Weston the first time he came
to the door or he would never 60 at
all. There couldn't be any breaks that
would set apart particular moment
as last chance to escape.
When he finished dressing, Jim sat
on the edge of the bed and lighted
a cigarette. When the plant whistle
blew at seven O'Clock, he got up and
went out.
Rain was still falling in thin, cold
drizzle and the air was rank with sui
phur dioxide from the condenser stacks.
Back of the furnace house, string of
dump cars was rolling out along
trestle, to the top of the huge, funnel

You can't tell people like the Wes-
tons that the mere thought of going
below the surface of the earth makes
you sick with terror. You can't ad-
nit that you are construction engi-
neer, but that you left all your CUTS
on a job where you spent sixty hours
in collapsed caisson under the bed
of the Columbia River.
AS they drove down through the
little village and around by a huge
sheet-iron building where rotary fur
naces filled the night with unbroken
thunder, Jim Karney tried to steady
his nerves with the thought that he
might get a job where he wouldn't
have to go underground. 1t didn't
work, though.
He felt as if both the girl and her
father must be aware of his weakness.
But when they pulled up in front OF
a rambling house Weston said cas-
ually: "Supper's all over down at the

bottomed ore bin. Beyond the bin and
trestle, the mouth of a tunnel made
an ugly scar in the canyon wall.
Jim stood moment looking across
at that gaping black portal. The
breath felt tight in his lungs. Then
Weston came out into the yard and
pulled him back to the moment-by-
moment pattern he had set himself to
follow. He said Good morning."
in answer to the mans greeting and
helped open the garage doors. When
breakfast was finished. they went back
out to the truck. Weston drove up a
narrow road between the furnace
building and the big ore bin, and
parked by the front of the tunnel.
AS HE climbed out of the pickup,
Jim had a cold, dead certainty that
he couldn't face it. But there were no
more postponements then. He took
the safety helmet and lamp that Wes-
ton got from a tool shed. Mechanically
he filled the light and snapped the
little white flame into life. "Okay,"
Weston told him. Head down and
look out for the air and water lines"

dress which exactly matched her eyes
and at the same time complemented
head of soft golden hair. She made the
prettiest picture jim karney had seen
in long time and the smile she gave
him was just right to make him feel
at home.
Jim knew that Molly Weston was
still enjoying the trick they had
worked on the deputy in the Elite
Cafe, but he didn't have a chance to
mention it until dinner was over The
telephone rang then, and when Fred
Weston had gone into another room
to answer it, he said:
about that break you gave me in
town -" He paused moment, feel
ing suddenly awkward. "I've been
wanting to thank you for that. |
don't know why you spoke up for me.
but it was swell thing to do"
Il did it because you said please
when you ordered your cup of coffee"
Molly told him, and she sounded as
though she were offering the best
reason in the world for deceiving the
law.

STRANGER THAN MAN

NOWHERE else in the world except
California are the giant sequoias to
be found. Reaching a height of 800
feet, sequoia may be up to thirty
five feet in diameter and may be
naked for half its height. 1t can pro-
duce enough lumber for community
of approximately 200 four-room
houses. This astonishing creation of
nature develops from seed less than
a quarter of an inch long!

a strong draught kept the
place fresh. For that hun

nerves in check. He even
began to believe he was 60

Then a sharp angle bit off

had known it would do. 1t
turned the still, warm air
into a strangling weight and
made the crowding black
walls into the twisted steel
of a crumpled caisson. Eigh-
teen months were wiped
away clean, and in spite of
reason, he was back again
under the bed of the Colum-
bia River.
Even when he knew he

himself on. He tried so hard

Molly said. "And it'll be

Jim took a shower and
used the last blade in his
pocket kit to give himself a
fresh shave. He felt a lot
better as he went across to
the big house. and when the
girl came to the door to let
him in, his state of mind
