on Charles street. "If Golson is in the

A number of the young men had
crossed Canal street, and were passing
up St. Charles toward Common, others
continuing their way along Canal to
Baroune. --A handsome, small, delicate
student emerged from the crowd He
had hands as white and small as a wo
man's, long, black hair, a pale, thought
ful face, and large, caim, expressive
eyes. I was introduced to him. and he
grasped my hand warmly and firmly.
"Have vou anvthing to do to-night,

"Anything to do? Oh, yes. some

"To La Petit Franeaise, we are think

My little girl will do the tight rope
from the roof, and I'll introduce you."
We turn up St. Charles street to Com

the college. Crowds were beginning
t gather at this point. AVe threaded
uur way through the throng that press
ed against the railing around the col
lege yard, and entered a small door at
the side. We climbed four nights of
dark, dismal stairs, and stumbled at
the turnings. We felt our way along
a hall, pervaded by a stilling blackness
and a musty smell, from the dissecting
rooms. The light from the street be
low streamed meagrely through a win

short skirts, and covered with spangles
and stars and gold lace. The men were
engaged with certain pulleys and cords
in drawing to a greater tension the wire
cable that stretched from the parapet
of the college to the building opposite.
The woman was standing in the shade
of the parapet, and looking down ab
stractedly upon the thousands of human
beings who packed the street, and
whose upturned faees, expressive of
anticipation, she seemed to be studying
attentively.
"Already here. Zoe?" asked Golson,
in his soft, smooth voice.
The woman started and turned quick
ly, an expression of intense happiness
lighting up her face.
"I was looking for you below," she
said. "I was afraid, but I am strong

"I wonder what they would think, and
how they would feel down there T
"Nonsense, little Zoel"
She laughed softly and put her arm
through Golson's, and looked up into
his face with a touching tenderness
and reliance. She again scanned the
crowd and was thinking.
""WeR, hut suppose I should. Do you
think they would care? Or would thev

me strong and close in his arms as I f
was falling, and kissed my lips, my
cheeks; and eyes, and forehead, and.
held me in his arms quite a while, and
called me his dear, precious bahv.
What was I going to tell you? Oh,
yes, about the man who fell from the
tight rope. That was terrible! One
end of the rope was passed over the
roof of a house, carried down the side,
and made fast to a wooden block un
derneath. It had so happened that the
block had rotted off next the ground.
and there was no weight npon it what
ever. Well, anyhowthey tied the rope
around the block, and the professor was
half way across the street when he be-
Bin to give an exhibition of
jumping.

r. ... .... - -."-
in- away, ihe jerfemg had pulled the
oiocs ironi under tne nouse, and was
dragging it up the side. The professor
turned quite pale, and stood and wait-
t ed. He came down slowlv with the
stop supping over tne root use a long
ugly snake. It soon became slack, and
it was, of course, much harder to bal
ance on it ; but he never lost his pres
ence of mind, and stood perfectly calm
and straight. AVhen the block had
reached the roof it was a two-story
house the rope slipped off. I heard
the block drop to the ground. I hid
my face and crouched down against a
wall, and I heard him strike the ground
like something dead. Oh, it was so
horrible r She peered around into the
darkness and shuddered. "Poor fel-
iowi ne lett nat on ais tace. It was
the cruelest thing that ever happened."
She sighed, and still gazed at the
crowd below.
"Did ir kill him?"
"Xo, not quite, but he was delirious
for several weeks. AVhen they picked
him up the Wood gwshed from his nose.
and eyes, and ears, and a bloody froth
came from his mouth. I was a little
child then and I dreamed ef hint every
night fbr'lwo or three years. I dreamed
of him again last night for the first
time in a great while. I thought I went
to pick him up, and could feel his poor
broken bones grating against each oth
er, ami his poor bloodshot eyes stared
wide and cold at me."
"You are not well to-night, Zoe," said
the man of science, examining her
pulse attentively. He became thought
ful. "I don't think you ought to risk
it," he said.
"Oh, I am not afraid now tlir.t you
are here," she replied in her charming
way.
"I think you had better wait."
"Now, don't get naughty. I must go.
I want to go. AVhy, there's two hun
dred dollars in the crowd, and my man
ager would be crazy if I didn't" walk.
Besides I contracted to do one street
walk every two weeks in addition to
the lofty eentre-pole walk every day.
AAhy, I've done the iofty livi hundred
times and never lost my head, aad why
is there danger now?"
"But it's moredimcult to see the rope
at night."
"I never look at my feet, anyhow,
when I walk."
"You are feverish and nervows."
"It will make me all the more eare
fuL" "AVell, walk then." said Golson, with
a shrug of his slioulders.
"Now, Goldy don't look that way."
He became cheerful and beaming in
a moment. The manager appeared on
the opposite roof and beckoned the girl
to proceed. The attendants at both
ends examined the fastenings to see
that they were properly secured. They
produced trays in which to burn color
ed fires, and heaped lnnis of combus
tible material upon the parapet. Zoe
mounted the parapet with an elastic
step, and threw kisses at the shouting
crowd below, as the fires brought out
her frail form. She looked very charm
ing and pretty, standing, smiling, in
the intense red glare of tlie light.
"Give me the iHjle." she demanded.

said. "Good-bye, Goldy." and she
picked her way over the narrow bridge
that spanned the yawning chttsm be
neath. She was graceful and walked
with considerable ease, apparently,

"She is not walking as well as usual,"
said Golson, hurriedly, and looking at
her steadily. His glances never left
her for a moment.

the look of absorbing anxietv had pass-

his eyes brighter. He simply smiled
at Zo, and did not even applaud her.
The shouting below continued. The
men made no preparations to remove
the rope, but Golson started for" the
ladder.
"She's comin' back," said one of the
men.
Golson stopped as if he had been shot
through the brain. The hard, anxious
look returned and the deathly paUor
came back all in an instant
"I didn't know that." he said, calmly
and resignedly. He resumed his M
position, and. watched the girl with in
tense interest with a gaze in which
were concentrated his soul and her
heart and mind and strength a look in
which was expressed the profoundest
feelings of a strong nature.
Zoe rested a moment, and again
stepped upon the rope. She bad pro
ceeded sbout ten feet, when one of the
men remarked:
"""She's scared."
Golson noticed it; we all saw it. Her
teeth was so tightly compressed that in
the dazzling light we could see
ridges
in her cheeks.
Her nostrils were ex
panded, and she stared fixedly ahead of
the rope. Her breathing was short,
and a frenior appeared in ier anns-and
knees. Instead of her usually erect
carriage, there was a preceptiWe lean
ing forward.
When she bad made but
i a dozen steps she stopped and appeared
to be in doubt. She then apparently
made an effort to walk backward, but
was evidently afraid to undertake it.
She stopped again, mastered her cotrr-

knelt on the rope, and then fell.
Golson's appearance was painful and
pitiable. Great cords stood out upon
his face, which was overspread by an
agonv of ghastlv pallors. His muscles
swelled with ridges and knots, and his ;
hands assumed the appearance of an
eagle's claws. He gazed at the rope
where the girl had a moment ago stood.
She had caught by the right hand, and
hung suspended over the cobbles. In
another moment she grasped the rope
with the other hand and hung perfect
ly still. Golson waited but a few sec
onds, when he saw that the fright had
taken the strength from her arms, and
that she could not climb upon the rope.
He dashed off his hat, and grasped the
rope with both hands, and threw one
leg across it. He crawled along eare
f ully, that the shaking might not cause
the girl to lose her hold. The crowd
watched him in breathless silence. The
rope swung lower under the double i
weight, and the fastenings creaked and j
grostaed.
"Hold fast, my child." we could hear
him say to the fainting girL "Hold on,
for God's sake, and I will save you!"
She raised her head and looked at
him for a moment, and then dropped it
again between her arms. He approach
ed her slowly and painfully, for he was
a strauger to the situation, and was
afraid of shaking her off. At length he
readied her. He whispered something
to her, and she looked him full in the
face. He allowed his right knee to re
main across the rope, threw his right
arm over it at the elbow, and twisted
his right hand around underneath to
secure a firm hold, and passed his left
arm around the girl's waist. The
strength of six men was in those suple

His feet were in that direction. It

the suspended pair began to lower.
"Pay it out!" he shouted again.
AVe let it go more rapidly, and he and
his swooning charge were against the
building across the street. He let him
self slide gradually down until he
reached the sidewalk, where he was
met by the manager. The. latter took
the girl to her home. -
The crowd gathered around him with
wild shouts, but he slipped away, and
met us at the door of the college.
"AVhere is that scoundrel who said
