CEhr Snka 27 'No! said the sailor shortly, putting the rope over John's neck. Fish-line. Then they dragged him out of the room and onto the cool deck. They tied one end of the rope to the railing and in spite of the boy’s struggles, lifted him to the rail. John thought his hour had come. He thought of Angeline and called her dear name in agony. But the crew were not decided. Upon second consideration they took off the rope and untied it from the railing. John's hopes rose. Were they to set him free at last? But hardly had the thought passed through John's mind when he received a shove in the back of the neck and he went over backward into space. The first sensation was awful. John knew he was falling to certain death. He had seen the stars and the moon from the airship and he knew that the earth must be at least a thousand miles off. Down, down, down he went. In agony the boy called for friends, mother, Angeline. Everyone had deserted him. What was that staring him in the face? It was Angeline. She was calling to him. Yes! Angeline, I am coming! Yes. Angeline, my love, Angeline!” Some one seemed choking him. Angeline!” John awoke. At first he was bewildered, dazed. Then he realized what had happened. His father and mother were standing over him, amazed. The room looked as though it had been through two or three cyclones and a war. The bedclothes were scattered over everything. The pictures were torn from the walls and the dresser lay face down upon the floor, the mirror in a thousand pieces. John sat with his back to the wall and his feet upon a chair. His clothes were torn and wrinkled. His collar was lying in the middle of the floor. John’s mother was clinging to his father and trembling from head to foot. John’s father was stern indeed. John Washington Williams,” he began, what is the meaning of this? Who Is Angeline?” No answer. Young man,” the irate father continued, lifting John to his feet, “I wish to see you in the kitchen.” Father,” his wife spoke, It’s two o’clock.” I don’t care if it is,” snapped her husband. Let us draw the curtain of charity over the rest of this painful scene.
