ALL FOR A WAGER
One fine May morning many years
ago, wbeti a young fellow of nineteen, I
was rambling down H ? street, near
Russel square, In company wltb my
friends, Tom Hewltaon and Frank Pal
grave.
At tbe period In question I was (sup
posed to be) reading for Oxford, while
Hewltaon was "walking tbe hospitals"
and Pnlgrave was "expecting his com
mission." We wore all athletes.
As we sauntered pleasantly along,
rapt In conversation on the mysteries
of gymnastics, wo approached a ladder
which was fixed to t four story house.
"How little we think of the heroism
of hodmen!" exclaimed Palgrave. "I
would rather face a dragoon armed to
the teeth than walk to tho top of that
ladder."
"Pooh!" said I. "You must be Jok
ing. I see the feat performed every
day l>y fellows whom you or I could
pound Into mummy, and, what Is more,
they carry on their business as leisure
ly forty or fifty feet high as If they
were paving roads."
"Yet I will lay an even bet of ?5 that
you won't do It," retorted Palgrave
coolly.
"Done!" I replied.
As the house was untenanted and
the laborers were absent, there seemed
no Impediment In the way.
"Hold!" cried Hewltaon, who began
to feel that a very serious responsibil
ity might devolve upon him in his ca
pacity of umpire. "Were you ever up a
ladder before?"
"Hum? ah? yes? but not high ones.
I should say I have been up fourteen
or fifteen feet at least!"
"There is a very serious difference,
let me tell you, between fifteen feet
and forty-five," continued Hewltson,
looking anxiously up to the roof. "It
was only last week we had a terrible
accident at Guy's, resulting from ver
tigo, and, let me tell you, now that I
look closely Into the expression of your
eyes, I would strongly recommend you
to stick closely to terra ilrma."
"I will cheerfully cancel the agree
ment If you like," said the generous
Palgrave.
"Nonsense, uian! i am arraia you ro
funking, Frank. Flvo pounds Is a good
deal of money to lose In Ave minutes,
but I'll punish you for daring to ques
tion my courage. Goodby, old fellow!"
I hnd arrived about twenty feet on
my ethereal road when I first became
oonRclons of n strange feeling.
I tried to langh at my own apprehen
sions.
Another step -another? another? ha!
?those words of Hewltson's!
"It was only last week we had a ter
rible accident at Guy's, resulting from
vertigo," now rang In my ears with a
fearful meaning.
Another step! The cold perspiration
broke out on my forehead, my knees
trombled. and my teeth chattered. An
other step! 1 took It mechanically. Oh,
heavens, what a fearful height I was
now! How the world seemed to yawn
beneath me!
Another step, and now my agony of
terror was ulmost Insupportable. My
whole frame trembled convulsively; I
could hear the very palpitations of my
heart. I had arrived on a level with
the window, but It was two feet dis
tant from me, and the attempt to pasa
that Insignificant space must be cer
tain death.
The day baa tmnerto own oreaui
lessly calm; now, with tbc suddenness
of our variable climate. It began to
blow strongly. Marvelous to relate,
this very circumstance gave me Imme
diate relief nnd was, I tblnk, tbe prin
cipal agent In saving my life.
As I had this fresh real danger to
encouuter I shook off the terrors of
many that were really Imaginary. The
descent to earth must be accomplished.
So, setting my teeth Urmly and fixing
my eyes wlih a dull, rigid, desperate
stnre on the brick wall before mc, I
retrograded one step with knocking
knees nnd then, with equal care, an
other.
By practice the retrograde move
ment became easy. I found It easy to
withdraw my mlud from vague, lrnag
lnury horrors and to tlx my whole
care ou self preservation.
? Another st*?t> ? another? another! Oh,
glorious! 1 could look down now with
something like composure and smiled.
Another and nnothert Sweetest music
that ever, ever fell upon my ear, I
could at last distinctly hear the voices
of my two friends, around whom a
crowd had gathered.
"Bravo! By Jove, you'll do It all
right yet! Hold firm and keep steady,
my boy."
I was only twenty feet high, and I
accomplished the remainder of my
Journey with ease.~ Hewltson and Pal
grave, who had been nearly as much
frightened as myself, were shocked at
my ghastly paleness. They said I re
sembled a risen corpse. The good na
tured fellows hud a cab and a flask of i
brandy lu attendance. I was put Into
the cab, and the brandy was put lntof
uie.
But I was pronounced In a danger
ous fever that night, and It was three
months before 1 was able to walk aa
stoutly as when I commenced that
aerial adventure.
And what about the bet? I Insist
ed on paying It after my recovery, as
the condition was that I should touch
the roof of the bouse, which I had
failed to do, and Palgrave Insisted on
not receiving It
He said he would as soon accept the
price of blood. He had very nearly
been my murderer, and he was confi
dent that If I bad brought an action
for assault and battery against him
he would have to pay at least ?1.000
damages and costs, so profound was
Palgrave's knowledge of British lawl
Political.
Stella? Did you accept Jack? Bella
? Yes, but I Indorsed To? at the same
