Perilous Plight of Two Workers, and an Exhibition of Coolness, Presenos of Mind and Heroic Patience How tha Difficult Rescue Was Effected. During tho fall and whiter of 1870 A. T. Stewart, who had bought tho Grand Union hotel at Saratoga, largely rebuilt that great hostelry of 2,000 rooms. The building has a mansard rool', iiml ut the peak It Is ninety-eight feet from tho sidewalk. Ono cold winter morning, when the work was virtually completed, two men, Flarvey, the head roofer, and o helper named t)cnn!son .went up on the roof to finish tho flashing round tho bnso of the tower. There had been a slight mist that morning, and It had frozen upon the roof, but tho two men had on India rubber overshoes to prevent them from slipping on tho slates. Suddenly, however, Harvey's feet be gan to slip. IIo went very slowly at Drst, for tho upper roof of a mansard Is not steep. Ho tried to stop himself, but there was nothing to which ho could cling. Ho turned his head In Dennlson's direction to seo If ho could not give some assistance, but Dennl son too, was sliding slowly .down tho roof. Harvey's presence of mind did noi leave blm. "Lio down flat!" ho called Bo both men carefully laid themselves lit full length on tho Icy roof In order that tho Increased friction might re tard.' and perhaps stop, tbclr descent. For an Instant It checked tbo move ment. Then tbo men began again slowly to slip nearer the anglo of tha roof and the steep pitch below. It seemed like hours, nltbough It was only a few moments, when Harvey felt his heels catch on a slight projection. A blind gutter had been built Into tliu lower edge of tho upper part of tho roof to carry off tho lnrgo amount of water that would fall upon such an ex panse of roof. Tho upper gutter pro jected above tbo slato roof only about half an Inch, but It was against this that Harvey's heels had caught Thoro ho hung on tho very brink of tho abyss safo for nn Instant Ho dared not move a muscle, however, of even turn his head to seo If 'Dcnnlson wero Htlll on tho roof. Ho did not cry out for help, for ho feared that tho tuero effort of filling his luugs and shouting might dislodge him. No on could hco the men on tho flat of tha roof front" tho street below. Tho only hope lay in tho carpenter who wcja at work lusldo tho building. Hut how should they know what was happening up thoro on the roof 1 Suddenly Harvey heard n voice, low, but distinct, como from tho tower above him. "Hold on," It said, "and I'll help you!" Then nfter n long tlnio Harvey heard tho sound of several voices. Whoever had found him hod got help. The tlrst voico spoke again: 'Tlold on! Wo will lower this ropo to you!" Presently something rubbed on tho jlate nbovo Harvey's head. It was tho rope, which they wero slowly working down toward him. "Can you get hold of It?" asked tJio voice. "l don't dare movo much," Harvey replied "Can't you get It down near. ny hand?" They had to give it n flip to get It by his shoulder. Then it traversed the length of his arm and Anally touched his baud. Harvey raised his arm very careful ly and took hold of tho rope. It was an Inch cable that had been used In raising tho slate from tho ground t tbo roof. "Can you turn over very carefullj and climb up?" asked tho volco. Cautiously Harvey worked his hand along on the rope-It was his right hand-unti! ho finally drew It tnut. Then he carefully raised his left hand and. reaching across, grasped tho ropo with that hand too. Then when the worst of the matter was over, he began to shako llko a leaf. IIo lay there, flat on bin back, clinging desperately to tho ropo and dreading inexpressibly tho next Htep. How wns ho to turn over oa that slip pery roof when ho needed both hands to cling to tbo rope? At last he spoke hoarsclj: "Can you pull mo up?" They consulted togethei. "1 don't daro to turn over," ho added. There was n sharp tug on tho rope. Hurvey lec them draw his arms up to their extreme length, still afraid ta trust his weight to his rescuers. Then he felt his heels lose-their grip on the glitter, and he began Blowly n movo upward. It wns not fill he had nearly reach cd tliu tower that he dirrd turn hli bond In Demilnoii's direction to sou If ho wore ntill mife. There lie wan, xprciid out on the inof.
