Old lLady Adventure stepped in and spoiled both of them for him. (Now hes working at the safest job there is. Thats what John thinks. Weil, after seeing what happened to him on his other Ijobs, maybe hes right in his own case. Anyway, lets get on ,with the story and see how he made out with his first two.

John ran Just a bit too fast this time. lie missed his step and plunged over the side. Down he went. At the thirteenth floor he passed one of those protruding boards. A large nail sticking out from the end of it caught him on the Jaw and ripped his face open clear to the temple. And then on he went again. He passed the twelfth floor without even hesitating, but eleven was mis lucky number. At the eleventh floor another protruding plank caught He was headed for the path of a moving train. the straps of his overalls, and there he hung, with nothing but a couple (of thin cloth bands saving him from a death plunge to the basement I Hen came running from nil over the framework, but there ild Just about to walk out to get men would hurtle to their deaths Instead of one.

When he got out he began to think of another job and this time it was going to be a safe one. The safest one he could find waa driving a milk wagon. What danger could there be in that. A bottle of milk never bit anybody. If It could, they wouldn't feed so much of it.to babies. It was as simple as falling off a log and a darned sight safer than falling off skyscrapers. For two weeks it was fine. John didnt mind Jumping out of the wagon every 10 or 15 feet to run in with n bottle of milk because it give him n chance to get his feet on the ground, and that was n swell, comforting feeling. He was having the Hu of his life until one day, when he was Just finishing up, he pulled into the railroad yard to load his empty bottles on n freight car. Then, half way to the yards, one of the hitching straps broke. The horse bolted. Says John: Nothing was holding the wagon away from the horse. When I pulled on the reins to try to stop him, the wagon would run into him and that would make him run all the faster. We shot through traffic and into the freight yard, and as we came to the yard I could see that the crossing gates were down. If I let him go, he would crash through those gates and right into the path of n moving train. For n minute, John thought of jumping. Then he ruled that out. In the first place, jumping wasnt such a safe trick with the horse streakan hour speed. And in the ing along at what must have been a second place, he couldn't quite see the justice of leaving that poor d horse to dash to his death without trying his best to save him. They were half way to the crossing gate then, but John took a chance, he climbed out on the front of the wagon and started talking to d the horse. He had seen horses qtilmed down before by a few reassuring words, but this horse wasnt to be talked out of anything. He ran on, faster than ever. 30-mi- le fear-craze- Above, S. W.

That in itself was a feat If you think it's any joke to move around in a wagon drawn by n runaway horse, just try it some time. John got back all right, but by the time he did. the horse was within 10 feet of the crossing. Then John played his last trump card. He dropped one rein, seized the other in both hands, and pulled with all his might. The bit dug into the horse's mouth and turned her sharply to the right. The wagon swerved, skidded along on two wheels, and then over it went, dumping bottles all over the place, and dumping John out on top of the bottles. John lay on the ground, out cold. He woke up in the hospital with two broken ribs and a broken arm. Milk wagon driving n safe job? Bolony ! Then John stopped fooling around and got himself a job that really was safe.

I have in mind the spool book shelves and comer shelves they used long ago. Its probably the general revival of Victorian ideas in decoration that has started everyone thinking of spool shelves. We seemed to remember that the shelves we had seen years ago in old parlors were put together with colored cords. We tried this but the shelves were not rigid as the cords stretched.
