wondered why his friends seemed so
much pleased at his dangerous posi-
ton. His musings in mid air con-
tinued until he heard the voice Of his
companion performer.
care you safe?" she said.
"I guess So"
Hold on, for I'm going"
"Good-by," said Mccarthy.
"Good-by," said the girl.
Although at height of $500 feet,
Mccarthy by this time had begun to
be encouraged by the presence Of his
air ship companion. He further had
hoped that because of his accidental
trip she might not make her drop in
the parachute. Her announced start
homeward therefore gave him some
uneasiness. He naturally preferred
her company. But with true G-een
Mountain grit he held onto the ropes
and patiently waited for her departure.
From his boyhood, Mccarthy had
lived on farm, and had never stud
fed, at the little white schooIhouse on
Waitsfeld common, such questions as
the behavior Of hot air balloons in the
sky. Therefore, he never expected,
when his friend left him, to shoot
higher in the air. Personally, he was
satisfied with $500 feet, but he was
forced to obey the law of nature.
Freed Of the weight of the girl and
parachute, which dropped toward the
fair grounds, Mccarthy and his air
ship leaped skyward again. For the
next few seconds the solitary pris-
oner closed his eyelids, held his breath
and grasped the ropes tighter. He
quickly rose 500 feet, and there at an
altitude of 5000 feet toated lazily In
the still mountain air. He then waited
for the hot, smoky air in the car to
cool and take him home.
On the trip homeward, Mccarthy
equalled in grace the parachute drop
of the young woman. AS the hot air
cooled he slowly descended and finally
disappeared, not half a mile from the
park, behind clump of trees in Fays-
ton valley. On the ground again he
lodged the falling canvas, and imme-
diately started for the fair grounds.
There Mccarthy found himself a hero.
In few words he told the story of
his wonderful experience in mid air,
then hitched up his horse, jumped
into the wagon and started for home.

Not Legal Pound Weight.

A farm laborer went to small shop
kept by an old woman, and asked for
"a pound O. bacon"
She produced the bacon and cut a
piece off, but could not find the pound
weight.
ooh, never mind t. pund weight. -
said he my hand weighs just a pund,
so put Their bacon on Their scales"
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales, while
the man put his hand into the other
side, and of course, took good care to
have good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found
and, on seeing it, the man said:
"Now, you see if my hand don't jus;
weigh pund.'
The pound weight was accordingly
put into one scale and the mans hand
into the other, this time only just to
balance. The old woman, on seeing
this, said:
"Wha, niver seed aught so near
afore! Here's a red herrin' for thee
hnnasty, ma son. "-Pearson's Weekly.

UNEXPECTED TRIP.
AN ACCIDENTAL BALLOON Assem-
- SlONG

Eugene Mccarthy Got Tangled In tho Far
achute Ropes and Went Up 5000 Feet
His Musings in Midair-IAis HOmew0rd
Trip Was Grace Jul and Successful.
Eugene McCal thy, tall, slender
Irish Yankee, who died-recently at
the mountain village Of Waltsheld'
VT, made a sensational voyage at the
Mad River Valley fair on September
1, 1897, in hot air balloon. Tangled
In the car ropes, prisoner by acct
dent, he shot into the air far above the
bare top Of Bald mountain. He rose
to height of 5000 feet, and after
struggling and dangling In m1dair
helpless below the car, he returned 10
earth, not corpse, but the same rug
ged Green Mountain farmer.
More than 1000 spectators had as
sembled at the fair grounds in order
to witness the balloon ascension. 10
make the ascent as advertised the
professor called to the crowd for VOL
unteer workmen. Eugene Mccarthy
responded and took his assigned sta
ton inside the canvas balloon car. On
the outside, by this time, the huge
bag had been raised and supported
securely by guy ropes on all sides. A
fire had been started in tunnel in
order to furnish the necessary hot air.
Fed by kerosene, the flame ran
through the tunnel and came up inside
the uplifted bag with stream of
sparks. Mccarthy and the professor
were there to prevent these sparks
from firing the cloth. Gradually as
the current of hot air swept into the
car, the top part sweIled forth until
the airship became restless in its at
tempts to leap heavenward. By the
faint applause outside Mccarthy knew
that the young woman performer, who
had been advertised to make the de-
scent in a parachute was ready to
start.
At a given signal, in order to es-
cape ENHANCEMENT in the ropes fasten-
ed from the balloon car to the para
chute, Mccarthy jumped to the centre
of his small circle space. But he
caught the hot air from the tunnel
full in his face. Half blinded by
smoke and fame, he naturally step
ped back and unintentionally placed
foot across a raised parachute rope.
So when the balloon car, freed from
guy ropes. jumped upward, the volun-
feer workman felt the rope tighten
under mis- leg. By natural impulse he
grabbed the rope overhead in order
to keep himself from falling head
downward. He accordingly soon found |
himself. not on the ground where he !
belonged, but in midair. swinging |
twenty feet above the parachute per-
former and rushing skyward at ex-
press train speed
Mccarthy, at the start, heard and
obeyed the sound advice of the pro-
lessor to hold on tight. He felt the
earth sink rapidly as in an express
elevator in tall Office building, and
at 1000 feet began to feel himself
more at home. His car then began to
20 slower and steadier. So he ex-
ahmed his position in the balloon.
Tor a seat, half way between the hot
lir bag and parachute top, he had a
mall iron ring, to which were fasten-
ID the ropes of the hot air car and
parachute. He attempted to look
downward, but as the thought of fall
ng unnerved him he grew dizzy. Then
3 remembered faint cheer. and
