Ing his marve'.oua adventure to a party of
gaping tourist. Jim has lived on tha rim
of tha canyon for nearly half a century.
"Yessum,' he said to an inquiring lady.
"I can shorely say them trails down to
th bottom of th canyon is dangerous. Of
course, they've got them fixed up in thesa
days, so it Is comparatively safe, but, when
1 betian to go down, I took my life in my
hand every time. It la plu-nb nervou to
be rldln' along the cdee of on of them

nothin' but jagged rocks.''
"Oh, Mr. Hanc," broke In a aweet young
thing, "do you ever fall over?" .
"Once," llanco replied, "only anc. It
waa thl way: I was rldln' alorg by a
chasm 4 0CO feet deep. My mule was an old
circus mule, and I earless Ilk, began to
whlstl Turkey In the Straw.' Tou see,
that mule had been trained to dance In th
circus to that tuns, and ah began to dance
right there on th edge. Th na'ral result
was that w both went over th edge,
plumb down 4,000 feet to tha aharp and
crul rocks."
"How did you ascapeT" ,
"Oh," replied Hanc. nonchalantly, "I
kept my wit about mo. Wtinn wa i-.as
about twenty-fiv feet from th bottom,
after fallln' 3.675 feet, I picked out a aice.

landed on my f t, safe and sound."

wa left of th mule and put It in my
