SPing the Crowd Gathers to Watch Marooned Man. Boy, oh boy! What a spot to be in! Think of It 275 feet from terra-firm- a on a swaying stack with not a single means of getting down. It would take days to scale the stack again and by that time John would be ready for an Insane asylum. John sat down and thought it over. Fortunately the stack was not In use and no smoke was coming through to bother him. But how was he going to get down? He remembered the story in the First Reader, i Every steeplejack knows that tale. But not only did John have no , woolen underwear, he didn't even have a shirt onl And the sun was already beating down on his unprotected back. A crowd had now feathered on the ground below and John hoped some one of them would get an Idea. He could shout to them and hear their shouts in return, liut nobody seemed to be able to help him. Racks Brain for Solution. : He checked over his clothes and belongings. Not a thing could be unwound to make a thread. He made up his mind then and there that he would never 30 up on a stack again If he got down from this one without a ball of string In his pocket. But how was he going to get down this time? Hours went by and still John sat and suffered in the blazing eun and racked his brains for a solution. The crowd on the ground below so far away that they looked like ants seemed too horrified to think. Feet dangling idly over the 275 foot high scaffold, John glanced thoughtup from all sides. fully over that crowd. Curious onlookers were hurrying Men, women and children flocked about the factory far below to be in John mused bitterly at the kill. - Toy Balloons Save Life. In the crowd.

He cupped nervous .hands to his mouth. And the next instant he was screaming his idea out to the anxious men below. They heard him and scurried about in all directions. In half an hour they were back with many specks of color In their hands. John saw them disappear inelde the stack entrance below and waited breathlessly for the result At last it came. At the mouth of the stack where John waited, floated a cluster of TOY BALLOONS ! John grabbed at them like a drowning man grabs at a straw. The cheers of the crowd came to him as he cut the balloons loose from the precious silk thread trailing to the ground. Slides Down Rope to Safety: At a signal from below, John pulled up the thread. A cord appeared. Be trailed up the cord and on the end came a strong rope. It was all over but the cheering the.i.
