Self Congratulation Upon Milsing Live

Flashed Through Mind In a Second.
Flow it feels to Jump eighty feet
through the air from the swaying wall
of a burning building was told recent-!
ly by Bertrand II. Hillman, president
of the National Hallway News com- I
pnny, who performed the feat in Al-!
bany. N. V., when the old Fort build- j
lug there was gutted by Ore. Blllman
spent seven weeks In the hospital.
“I was left alone on the window sill i
eighty feet above the ground," snhl
Billmnn. “I still clung to a faint hope
that the firemen would reach me and
determined not to Jump until absolute
ly the last second. F realized in a
short time, however, that that second
was coming The heavy partitions in
the warehouse began to fall, and each i
time one went down It was os if an !
explosion had occurred.
Surrounded by Flames.
“I stood on the sill outside of the
wall and held to the window sash with
my left hand. Every time i heard a
partition fall X swung myself out and |
away from the window and kept from |
falling by standing on one foot nnd
holding on with one hand. The flames j
would burst through the window by
me and burn' my hand and scorch my
body, but I clung on. The thick walls
of the building swnyed to and fro with
each explosion.
"Finally I determined to Jump.
Then was the height of my terror. 1
have traveled all over the world and
have had many narrow escapes. I
have been in shipwrecks and have hud
to spend several days in an open boat.
I have hunted dangerous animals and
have beeu pushed to close quarters by
them. I have been attacked by men
meaning murder. But never In all my
life have I ever felt as 1 did clinging
to that window in a swaying wall with
the tire roaring around me.
"The moment I was ready to jump,
however. 1 forgot about my narrow
escapes and the consuming fear in
me. An unusual coolness seemed to
come over me. I looked down and
saw the slauting path 1 would have to
follow if I would reach the street
without striking the portico roof or
the live wires. By waving my arms
I directed the men holding the life net
where to stand. 1 shouted. ‘I’m com
ing!' and I Jumped feet first diagonally
downward.
Thankful as He Miesed Live Wire*.
“What was in my mind while 1 was
goiug down?” Bllluian said, repeating
the question asked him. “Well, it’s
hard to say. Of course 1 was only a
second or so in the air, hut It seemed
then as if I were taking a long time
to reach the street My body passed
the wires as a train goes by a fence,
it seemed, and I remember the thank
fulness 1 felt when 1 realized I had
missed them. Then I wondered if I
would strike the glass roof.
“Between the wires and the roof 1
locked my teeth flriuly together with
my tongue far back in my month, so
that il would not break my jaws or
bite off my tongue when I landed.
Of course I held my breath. I also
thought that when my feet struck my
kuees might strike my chin, and 1 de
termined to avoid this If I could.
“Thinking of my chin, the absurd
thought flashed through my brain that
I had been working so bard all day
1 had taken no time to shave. Then
1 passed the roof and knew that I had
only to hit the net to l>e saved. I saw
several men holding the inside of the
net drop It and run away, evidently
thinking 1 would fall on them, hut 1
struck the outer edge, and. honestly,
( don’t remember anything more until
I woke up In the hospital.”
