No cure, no pay Boardman Garage Fortunate to Live to Write of Mad Journey Across Precipice, and a Night of Terror. A thrilling adventure iii the timber lands (if New Zealand is related by Mr. David iilake, who met with it as a result of a quarrel with a man named Smertz. Ho you know the great divide on .Mount Siberia! asks Mr. Blake In the Wide World Magazine. I had the contract for cutting out and sending down the timber from the upper slopes. Across the gulch, taut as a how-string, a steel cable stretched for eight hundred feet. The kauri logs, slung to an underhung trolley running on huge Sheaves, were sent over the wire to the other side. A guide rope, hooked to the trolley, served to check the run and ease the timber to the landing slage below. Hod McKenzle, Duncan and Smertz worked in my gang. It was the end of the day in late autumn. The last log a monster twenty feet long by thirty In girth hung ready for launching. I was on the point of giving the signal, when, fancying I noticed a slackness in one of the slings, I mounted the log. This was Smertz's moment for de ferred vengeance. As quick as light ning he swung his ax and sprang the book of the guide rope from the sock el. On the instant the huge log gath ered headway down the taut wire. Some one screamed. "Jump, Dave, Jump I" But there was no time. All this happened in a flush. I threw myself face down upon the log and gripped the sTing chains with a grip of death. Bushes, ground and tree slumps Hew backward beneath me in a mad blur of speed. The racing sheaves, in their iron block casing, screamed and shrilled. Fire flashed from them, l'ire ran along the wire. Showers of sparks Hew out upon the wind. Suddenly there, was a jar, the grind and shriek of metal on metal. I sci nied and closed my eyes. There was a jerk that wrenched my arms in their sockets, and the mad rush slopped. The strained wire above sprang, bent again and hummed like a twanged bowstring. The log, hang ing beneath, leaped up and down, up and down. I was jolted from my hold and. for a horrible minute, with one hand clinched in the chains, hung over the abyss. Slowly, painfully, I dragged myself up again. My nerves were in rags, my limbs shook, and my teeth chattered. I took off my belt and, reeving it through a chain link, shift ed position; then I rebuckled the Strong leather round my waist. This is what had happened. The pin In the lower block had worked loose. The wire had jumped the groove in the sheave wheel, becoming jammed between it and the Iron casing, and the lug had braked itself by Its own w eight. A stiff wind bad blown during the afternoon, and with night It hardened into a gale from the southeast. It roared, swooping through the defile, Haiti and wind-driven hall hissed across the darkness in tierce gusts. Flannel shin and trousers, which. rep resented all my clothing, were little protection against tile tierce cold. I could not move to ease my position. Ice formed on the chains and on the wood; my clothing froze hard and stlO". The night was as dark as the ntOOth of a pit. A single big star broke at Intervals through the wrack of flying scud. I watched It idly as I lay In a sort of trance. 1 awoke In a warm bed. It win Dick, my close companion, that had come out along the wire in the morn ing afler the storm lie had brotiuht with him a sort of chair of strong rope running on a pulley ; but how he had managed on that swaying, slippery log to get me, helpless and uncon scious, Into the chair I do not know. Smelt.? The boss got him away from the boys, locked him Inside his office and stood guard over him until the police came, Otherwise they would have killed him. DAIRY HINTS PRtVENT DISEASE OF CALF Improper Feeding or Insanitary Condi tions or Both Are Cause of Many Ailments. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.)
