He succeeded in extricating a'l ol his fin

loose, but the oogs were slowly but surely
drawing him into the huge press. His
thumb tucame dislocated and he yelled
for help.
The press was stopped, but the Cogs kept
moving for a hort time. In an instant
more his hand would be drawn into the
press The boy was quick to real'ze his
danger, and espring a hatchet on the floor
he cried to one of the men, givo

One of the men who was standing near
hastily picked up the weapon, tut instead
of handing it to tbe boy. he took it firmly
in h;s hana and raised it above his head.
At the same time he looked the boy
square in the eyes to get the signal far the

In a second thehatjhet descended and
the boy was released. His thumb was
drawn slowly out of sight to be crashed
into a shapeless mass Hud not the
