FIGHTING DEATH IN MIDAIR Perilous Plight of Two Workers, and an Exhibition of Coolness, Presence of Mind and Heroic Patience How the Difficult Rescue Was Effected. During the fall and winter of 1870 A. T. Stewart, who had bought the Grand Union hotel nt Saratoga, lnrgcly rebuilt that great hostelry of i!,000 rooms. The building bus a munsard roof, and at the peak It Is ninety-eight feet from tho sidewalk. Ono cold winter morning, when the work was virtually completed, two men, Harvey, tho head roofer, and a helper named DciiiiIhoii went up on the roof to finish tho Hashing round tho bnso of the tower. There had beeu n slight mist that morning, and It bud frozen npou tho roof, but the two men had on India rubber overshoes to preveut them from slipping on tho slates. Suddenly, however, Harvey's feet be gan to slip. Ho went very slowly at first, for tho upper roof of n mansard is not steep. Ho tried to stop himself, but there was nothing to which ho could cling. Ho turned Ills head In Deinilson's direction to see If ho could not give somo assistance, but Dentil son too, was sliding Blowly down tho roof. Harvey's presenco of inltid did nov leave him. "Llo down flat!" be called. Bo both men carefully laid themselves at full length on tho icy roof In order Hint tho Increased friction might re tard, and perhaps stop, their descent. For an Instnnt It checked the move ment. Then the men began aguln Blowly to slip nearer the angle of the roof and tho steep pitch below. It seemed like hours, although It was only a few moments, when Harvey felt his heels catch on a slight projection. A blind gutter had been built into the lower edge of the upiier part of the roof to carry off tho largo amount of water that would full upon such an ex panse or roor. Tho upper gutter pro jected above tho slato roof only about half an Inch, but it was against this that Harvey's heels had caught. There he hung on tho very brink or tho abyss safe for an instnnt. He dared not move n muscle, however, ot even turn bis head to see If Dennlsou were still on the roor. Ho did not cry out for help, for ho feared that the mero effort of tilling his lungs and shouting might dislodgo him. No out could see the men on the flat of tha roof from tho street below. Tho only hope lay in the carpenters Mho wor nt work tusldo tho building. Uut how should they know what was happening up thcro on the roof? Suddenly Harvey beard a voice, low, but distinct, come from the tower above him. "Hold on," It said, "and I'll help you!" Then nftor a long time Harvey heard tho sound of several voices. Whoever bad found him hnd got help. Tho first volco spoke again: "Hold on! We will lower this rope to youl" Presently something rubbed on tho lnto above Harvey's head. It wan tho rope, which they were slowly working down toward him. "Can you get hold of it?" asked tho voice. "1 don't dare movo much," Harvey replied "Can't you get It down near my band?"' They had to give It a flip to get It bj his shoulder. Then It traversed tho length of his arm and finally touched his hand. Harvey raised his nrm very careful ly and took hold of tho rope. It was an inch cablo that had been used in raising tho slato from tho ground t? tho roof. "Can you turn over very carefullj nnd climb up?" asked the voice. Cautiously Harvey worked his hand along on the rope It was Ills right hatid-untll ho flnnlly drew it taut. Then ho carefully raised his left hand and, reaching across, grasped tho rope with that hand too. Then when the worst of tho matter was over, lie began to shako llko :i leaf. Ho lay there, flat on hi bad;, clinging desperately to the ropo and dreading Inexpressibly the next step. How was be to turn over on that slip pery roof when ho needed both bund!) to cling to tho rope? At last he spoko hoarsclj: "Can you pull me up?" They consulted togethei. "1 don't daro to turn over," ho added. There was a sharp tug on tho roiJ. Harvey iec them draw his arms up to their extreme length, still nfrald to trust his weight to ids ri-scuem. Then ho felt bl heels I oho their grip on the gutter, and bo bogim nlowly to movn upward.
