Chris Anderson was the boss of that crew, and there's another lad In that outfit whom we might as well mention now as at any other time, because he played a big part in this story ot Don's.

They had strung seven or eight sections of wire when Kelly began to complain about his feet He had on a new pair of shoes that day, and climbing up and down the poles made them sore. So Don told Kelly to stay on the ground. He'd take over the part of the work that called for climbing. Don went up the next pole. There were a lot of other wires strung on it old ones from which the insulation had worn off until they were practically bare. Don admits he should have been more careful in tack- - His idea was to settle the mat- ter by sending in a draft." What did you do? Put a damper on it and cut it off.

There were safety devices in their truck that he could have used. But the fellow who works on even the most dangerous job gets careless once in a while, and this was Don's day to do it. Don was passing one of the two new wires he was stringing over the cross-arof the pole when it happened. His left arm rubbed one of the worn live wires, and at the same time his right leg rubbed against an iron brace. It made a direct short circuit and sent TWENTY-THREHUNDRED VOLTS through his body. It held me fast, Don says. I was powerless to break the contact. The only way I can describe the feeling is to say that it seemed as though some monstrous being like King Kong had me heid at arms length and was shaking the daylights out of me. I could hear the generators throbbing in my ears as though I was right in the powerhouse. I struggled and wriggled with all my might, but it wasn't any use. In the meantime Don's partner, Kelly, had walked down the road a few hundred feet. Suddenly he heard a moaning sound and turned, to see Don banging on that cross-arhis clothes burning and his face contorted in a look of terrible pain. He raced bark to the pole, climbed up it and cut the wire that was feeding juice into Don, They Thought Don Was Done For. better-- known Down a Peg The film critic was unimpressed by the actor playing the role. In his review he wrote: His idea of how a should be played was to throw out his chest three inches and follow it slowly across the scream he-m- he-m- YOU CAN THROW CARDS in the meantime, had slumped down unconscious, with only his safety belt holding him on the pole. Kelly took a rope from his belt, looped it under Don's arms, and lowered him to the ground. The other linemen came running from down the road a piece and gave Kelly a hand. They stretched Don out on the ground and looked him over. He wasn't breathing and it seemed as if his heart had stopped. It looked bad for Don, but the boys went to work on him giving him artificial respiration. For twenty minutes they worked on Don, taking turns at pressing with their hands to force a little air in and out of his paralyzed lungs. Twenty minutes and no sign of life! But though there was no sign of it, life was still there. Just a few seconds before, consciousness had started to return to Don. He was trying to get his lungs to work again doing his best to help those fellows who were doing his breathing for him. He couldnt move a muscle couldn't speak or even open his eyes but he knew he would be all right if his pals worked on him a little longer. And then came the most disheartening moment of Dons life. Out of a clear sky Don heard one of the fellows say: Its no nse, boys. HES GONE. We might as well quit and take him back to the truck. Don, nigh Time frequenter of one of our seashores noticed a man who went bathing every day with a straw hat on his head. Upon inquiring the use of this seemingly superfluous piece of head-gea- r, he received the reply: You see, Im not a very good swimmer, and when my hat begins to float I know Im out of my depth. A Saved by Kellys Stubbornness. Don wanted to scream, but he couldnt breathe by his own efforts. Were they going to give up and leave him to die? All the terror of a lifetime was packed into his heart in that one brief moment. But the man astride his back still kept on pressing away, forcing the air in and out of his lungs. Again the first fellow made this terrifying suggestion. Lets quit and take him into town." And this time Don could hear the man who was working on him reply. It was Kelly and Kelly was sticking to his job. For five minutes ten minutes Kelly worked on, stubbornly refusing to give up his battle for his friends life. Maybe Kelly remembered that it was his own aching feet which had been the cause of Don's climbing up that pole in the first place. Maybe Kelly figured that the least he could do to a man who had almost died doing him a favor was to exert every effort to save his life. Anyway, Kelly kept on and in another two or three minutes Don started to breathe. They flagged a passing car and took Don to a hospital, and they him there seven weeks. Kelly was cited for bravery and receivedkepta medal from the company for saving Dons life. But I think Don ought to get some sort of a medal too, for living through a shock of electricity.
