“
I
don
’
t
think
it
’
s
such
a
very
wonderful
thing
to
walk
a
little
,
low
,
board
fence
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
knew
a
girl
in
Marysville
who
could
walk
the
ridgepole
of
a
roof
.
”
“
I
don
’
t
believe
it
,
”
said
Josie
flatly
.
“
I
don
’
t
believe
anybody
could
walk
a
ridgepole
.
You
couldn
’
t
,
anyhow
.
”
“
Couldn
’
t
I
?
”
cried
Anne
rashly
.

“
Then
I
dare
you
to
do
it
,
”
said
Josie
defiantly
.
“
I
dare
you
to
climb
up
there
and
walk
the
ridgepole
of
Mr
.
Barry
’
s
kitchen
roof
.
”
Anne
turned
pale
,
but
there
was
clearly
only
one
thing
to
be
done
.
She
walked
toward
the
house
,
where
a
ladder
was
leaning
against
the
kitchen
roof
.
All
the
fifth
-
class
girls
said
,
“
Oh
!
”
partly
in
excitement
,
partly
in
dismay
.
“
Don
’
t
you
do
it
,
Anne
,
”
entreated
Diana
.
“
You
’
ll
fall
off
and
be
killed
.
Never
mind
Josie
Pye
.
It
isn
’
t
fair
to
dare
anybody
to
do
anything
so
dangerous
.

“
I
must
do
it
.
My
honor
is
at
stake
,
”
said
Anne
solemnly
.
“
I
shall
walk
that
ridgepole
,
Diana
,
or
perish
in
the
attempt
.
If
I
am
killed
you
are
to
have
my
pearl
bead
ring
.
”
Anne
climbed
the
ladder
amid
breathless
silence
,
gained
the
ridgepole
,
balanced
herself
uprightly
on
that
precarious
footing
,
and
started
to
walk
along
it
,
dizzily
conscious
that
she
was
uncomfortably
high
up
in
the
world
and
that
walking
ridgepoles
was
not
a
thing
in
which
your
imagination
helped
you
out
much
.
Nevertheless
,
she
managed
to
take
several
steps
before
the
catastrophe
came
.
Then
she
swayed
,
lost
her
balance
,
stumbled
,
staggered
,
and
fell
,
sliding
down
over
the
sun
-
baked
roof
and
crashing
off
it
through
the
tangle
of
Virginia
creeper
beneath
—
all
before
the
dismayed
circle
below
could
give
a
simultaneous
,
terrified
shriek
.
If
Anne
had
tumbled
off
the
roof
on
the
side
up
which
she
had
ascended
Diana
would
probably
have
fallen
heir
to
the
pearl
bead
ring
then
and
there
.
Fortunately
she
fell
on
the
other
side
,
where
the
roof
extended
down
over
the
porch
so
nearly
to
the
ground
that
a
fall
therefrom
was
a
much
less
serious
thing
.
