"We all meet with change adven-
tures in this world i guess.’ said an
old lineman. “but i think i had an ex-
perience that beats many a one. While
engaged with the Bell Telephone Com-
pany. l was sent out one day to find
the trouble between the oilice and the
insane Hospital. at lndiannpolis.
“Shooting trouble' is what we call it.
i followed the line all the way out and
found the difficulty lny between a
forty-foot pole and the phone in the
men's building.
“An attendant escorted me from
place to place; but while i was in the
hall examining the telephonic he was

when a hand was laid on my shoulder
and a voite at my elbow said:
" 'Say. is that the safe where you put
my money?‘
“Astonished. i looked up. and into
the face of an elderly man, who looked
every inch the gentleman. being neatly
and carefully dressed. For a moment
i was too much surprised to anchr.
for his appearance at that belied the
Inference l drew from his question. but
a closer observation revealed an un-
natural expression in his eyes: so.'re-
in the
member-lug where l was. i knew he was '
a maniac. Thinking to humor him. i
said:
" ‘Yes. i put "there: it is a good
place for it.‘
“Quick as a flash he. caught up a
heavy stool that was standing near
and brought it down with all his might
on the telephone, crushing it.
" ‘Give it to‘ me. quick—quick!" hc
gasped. hilt i didn't stop to give him
anything, but just started on a run for
the door. and there met the attendant.
who soon quieted the poor fellow and
led him away.
"i had to make another trip to the
city for another telephone. and as it
was late by this time. I didn’t go back
until the next day. When i got out
there i found several 'trusties' guarded
by their keepers. working in the gar-
len. i saw my friend of the day be-
iore busy with a large knife. toppinlz
turnips. He. glanced up at me. and i
saw a quick. angry gleam shoot into
his eyes.
"i had to climb a tree in an isolated
part of the yard to unfastcn a wire
that had in some way caught on a
limb. i connected my test set and call-
ed up the wire chief and explained the
wise to him. so with the work i had
lone and talking to him twenty min-
utos must have passed. i started to
getdown. and when l reached the low-
er limb looked for a place to drop. But
i didn't drop. for there. standing at
the foot of the tree. stood my crazy
man. the knife still in his hand.
“ 'Come down!‘ he yelled. ' i know
you. You are the man that stoic my
five thousand. Give it up to me or i
will kill you. you thief! Come down
or i will come up there and out your .
heart out!
“But i didn‘t come. i scrambled
higher and yelled for help. though
none came
“The maniat found a heavy board
near. and placing it against the trees.
started to climb up. but in his hurry
Ind excitement he did not place it so-
curely. and when he was about half
way up its lapped. and he went sprawl-
ing to the ground. He got on his feet
and tried it once more. ' Again and
again he tried it. but it would slip and
throw him. Several times. however.
he came within an inch of reaching the
lower limb. from which he could hnv'

“About this time another inmate
