I made ihort work of Ikpushlng everybody by for I no, end it m slippery, and it took me longer, than it would of a different day, hot no man nnleaa It waa a lineman, could bare got there to quick for being practloed at it, and I ran and I looked op—ma'am, I went ar cold aa "AND WEEK I LOOKED DP, MA’AM, I WENT Al COLD AS ICE." the Ice beneath me and then I turned from cold to hot and then I went from hot to horror, for the eight I taw. Ma'am, it waa him I saw—it was Charley Scattergood. It was him atop of that there pole, hanging senseless eighty foot shore my head, serosa the cross-arms. It waa him I hate—hate—hated from my soul. It was him that sent me on horn mad to mnrder when I thought of him. It was him I could here stamped on or see be neath an inline or Hang over the ferry-boat and get beneath the paddlo-wheol. It was him. It waa him that took my girl away from mo. ,JSoirl'H here to c*plJli£f(|y<ia. I’ll hivoto explain to you about that guy. You couldn’t understand tko nature of my feelings unless yon understood the situation of that polo and goy. Yon see it's this way. Yon got a line of poles—there—seet And you're got another connection—there. Maybe yon gny over to a roof or another row—so. And your guy breaks, your poles might be gin to go the way I told you, like a row of nine-pins from the storm. And they’ro all gone down, we’ll say, like these had, lire or six of.’em, in the gale, it blowed so,-and this one, it’s made a stand. This one stood it’s ground and thero it is, all them broken wires dangling and groaning in the ice and wind, and a troublo man he's sent up to gny it over to this root or to this other pole I tell you of, to make it fast and atop the net from going. Maybe be guys It orer to a stump-that’s what we call.a broken pole—and he has the wires to tie, and he has his slrap-and-vlce to join ’em with and his pliers to twist 'em with, and his spurs upon bla legs—and that’s all he hat ex cept his pluck and the lee-atorm, bo I see In a minute Charley Scattergood had been up to guy that pole orer, and I aee it wasn’t done— it wasn’t guyed over—when he was ta ken with whatever took him, for I saw the r ole shook consider’bie and that the wires ung flabby, and, ma’am, I saw another thing. I aaw the pole was a cracked polo. They are sometimes. Now It takes me a great while to tell yon these hen things becauao I ain’t an educated man, but it didn’t take me long enough to think ’em—not to long aa If yon waa to say: "Charley Scattergood!” If I was an educated man I could explain to yon the nature of my feelings. You’vo got learning younelf and may bo you can understand ’em without I was to tell ’em—maybe that’s what learning does for folks. I don’t know. Nut, ma’am, though they didn’t taka time they took my mortal llfe-the feelings that I bad. Itaeemedaait Id dloof ’em before it all went through my mind: ‘‘That's hnn. That’s Charley Scattergod. Be took your girl away from yon. He's a mis- erable drinkln’ cuts. lie’ll drop. You ain't nothing to do with it. Ttoae other linemen are too for oil. Bo'll drop before they get here. Nor they wouldn't go up. I don’t know a feller on that crew would go up. It’s a cracked pole. * e • You didn't do it. It ain't your work. You didn't hang Charley Scattergood eighty foot above the ground, him aenaeleaa on a cros s-arm. You ain’t got to do nothing but let him be. It I God A'mlj Now did ■ It seemed like I’d die before he would. It seemed like I’d be tore in twenty. Seems as if the last Trumpet and the Day of Judgment and the Gnat White Throne, and all them things we read about in the Good Book, you know, kind of got together in a crew and made a dead act at me. Seems aa if they said: fc "Go up! Go up I Go up!” Then it teemed as if I answered: “Don't you do it! Stay where you be!" And then it come: “Go up! Go up!" And then I says: “It ain't my business. It’s God A’mlghty’s.” Ana then: "It ain't God A'mighty's. It's your business. Go up! Go up! And then it cornea to me this way, crash like a charge of electricity innthunder-shoir- jd A'mlghty’s business." Now when I got so far as God A’mighty, It d seem as if the fee lings I bad would kill me. was all about it I didn’t think about it per- tikkellarly. I’d got my orders. So I went up, for it all took quick aa I could think It Ana I did the best the pole wasn’t soun And he’d taken anything went Now it’s this way. You know what a cross arm is. Yon’ve teen ’em on the telephone poles, and the telegraph. They ran acrcat the top and hold the oak pint and the insulators. Each cross-arm might have ten pint to screw the insulatora on. There may be one or two, there may be six or more of these cross-arms. This pole it waa a tall pole and in the thick of business— then might be maybe eighty to a hundred wires on such a pole—and It had eight cress arms, and Charley Scattergood he hung acrott the highest of 'em all, the top one, doubled over—that way. Iconldn’thelp think ing aa I went up how like a rag doll he looked banging acrost a close-horse—br it waa so high and he looked small. I stuck my spurs in hard for it was slippery aa death and from the excitement and from knowing that the pole wasn’t sound it seemed as if I couldn't make a footing, and I thought or Annie, for I loved her, and I felt bad to think if so we both come crashing down, ahe'd feel worse to think it was Charley Scattergood than she would for thinking it waa me. Bnt I said, for I felt a little giddy and it blew so, as I want up I said: “Annie, Annio Hope,” Just as I’ve always laid to keep a steady head. Heaven bless her dear name, ma’am, wheth er it steadied me as it always had, I don’t know aa I can prove to yon, not being an edu cated man—but I felt steadier for saying of it, and for feeling of the feeling that made me any it. “Annie. Dear Annie. Annie, Hope,’’-for the loving fooling that 1 had to her, and it waa like aa if my love turned Into norm, ma’am, while I went up, and tamed into Arm muscles and into a cool brain and into all of these things a lineman needs if hb’sgotadeed like that to do to save a fellow-creaiuro'a life, or maybe give Ills own. And it waa like aa If the lovo I had, turned out the hate I had. And all my soul went up, aa my body waa going up that peie. It was as if I left my deadly feeling down below upon the ground, and I went from muldrr up to mercy aa I climbed toward the sky u>on the pole. Now this is the holy truth. I'd never been ao keen to hurt him aa I was to save him be- foro I got to him. I’d never wished him half such curses as 1 prayed heaven I might do him blcssina' and get him down a living man. And I says to myself: “If we topple and go down together I won’t Wrt »t Headquarters for a murderer. Lord Chief A’mighty may Ho forgive me, but He shan’t catch me thero!” So it blow pretty hard, and I got np. And everything was covered with ice. And my “As Lyin' between God A'mighty and Char ley Scaitergood, which is the lineman of them two? Him that is the lineman it's his doaty to climb that pale.” Ma'am, we’re tanght to do our doaty In oar bn: Inert and obey our orders sod once It war clear to me In that minute—for all this ouly took no time at all to go throngh me— >ac j it was plain to me I'd got my order and I'd »it it from the Chief—from t'other Calef that needs a sleet-storm and blows a gsle easy as outs would set in hia office and send a tutelage oat aero*t a wire—once I understood it was cny 1 say no more about it. I set my spun into that pole and I went up. • • • a *»J ? wwt I don’t know. It didu1strike me ao. It was my dooty. That there he was.^H Hohl hail a lit. The fclJerl had a fit. And there he bung acroht tho upper cross-arm with no raoro knowlcdgo than tho doad. And I look cd at him. But I left my hate eighty feet boh w us, and it waa aa if I liked him for I ■want td so to save h I in, and I looked to soe what I 1 could do, for be showed some signs of com- l J So 1 raye: “Charley Scattergood, for tho love of God, don’t you atir. Stay where you be till I tie you on.” Now I had my pliers with mo In my belt in the sort of pocket where we carry ’em, and I see the broken wins, hanging round, and I *!■* 1 had some wiro with me, a rail 1 d had to do some guying with. So I took that wire, for it waa strongest and I twitted it around him and fastened him tight with my t> lera and I twisted the other wires around him and I tied him tight and then I looked to see what pretty hard and Lord! how that pole did be- gin to abako. Well, ho come toallttlc.notso’eto help him- self, but enough to'a not to hendor me, and ’ said: “Charley, you're took with something, and I’ve got to swing you dosrn, for the pole's rot ten. If yon rally your life—or mine either— don’t yon darst to ao nothing but do as I tall you.” For I knew if he was to wrestle or even to wriggle it would be all np with both of ns. So I think he senaedit, for he seemed to, and I made him fast and I began to lower of him down ahead of me, me descending above him my breath and looked below. I don t think it bad coma over me till that minute what a fl* It waa. But when I looked down I saw the people for they’d come from every wherrs and there was quite a crowd, and I saw the lineman that baa Iran np from tho nearest crew, and I see thee ware all dismissing Sf And they tried toadvlw me this ami that for I could see 'em holler, but thewindblcr so I couldn’t rntko out a word. Ana Mil at oneo it come to me: “How in God's name are yon going to got Dim down? "Anybtdy got a rope?” cried I. But nobody could hear me and I triod again, about Jim?" h * p,lea 10 h,Te “V more wire .And one of the trouble men he understood mo and ho sort of beckoned to me and hold up “THAT THESE POLE SWAYIHU THU WAY AND THAT WAY.” belt Icould, and he hung unite atlli, andlio- haveff dxtHoedtaswfty well,-Tor a-qitty niiftC My idea was, if 1 found we was going, I'd play out llie whole of the cable faataudsome of’em would catch him bofero tho pole went down.l Well, I did it.

I went some titty fast or so, for ft wds slow work, and I looked every min* uta 1° come dashing down. So soma of’em climbed on something, n cart or aomathing, and got ono on t'other’s shoulders, for no man daud to add an ounce weight sxtry to that splitting pole with ns two on it—and they Hong ms np the wire and the ropes, and ao I ’em and took ’em and climbed up Yes. I went tloft again. I didn't sae no' other way. I couldn't leava him thera, you see. Plucky?—I don’t know. It was my dooty. 1 tried to do it. That's all there wu lit.

He went to New York city. So next I knew I opened my eyes one day and I ate my aiittr tbet waa the wtdder lady coming in tho door. And the says: “Mercy, Charles, you've come to, halntyon?” And I saw I waa to borne and I felt quite smart only for the bandego os my heed end for being as weak as a drownded puppy be neath the bed close. And my lister says: “There's a young lady In the settlngroom, come to Inquire after your health," she says. “She's goto green dresa trimmed with feather trimming,” wye my rister. “Tell her I’m mnch obliged to her,” says I, ai d that I take It for an honor.” So my aiittr goes sod tells her, and In the comes again, “The young lady'i crying,” soya my slater.

And my lister save: "This it tha young lady." Audi says: “I'd a been shaved If I’d known you wag coming, my dear.” And my alitor says: “I’l go and aee the barber about it this minute.
