that he was hanging by single strand At
any moment the strand might break, and swift

self-possession and daring, the man, risking all

There are three stretches of cliffs-at Bempton,
Speeton and Buckton-leased by different gangs
of climbers" and here, year after year, the
harvest of eggs, of razorbl and guilemot, puff
fin and kttwake, and many another sea Bird
is reaped; and plentiful is the crop that, it is
said, William Wilkinson in twenty years has
taken no fewer than 100000 eggs from the cliffs
with his own hands.
And how do they work, these daring explorers
of the grim Yorkshire cliffs, who risk their lives
so light heartedly for eggs which they sell for
two pence apiece? Their methods cannot be
better described than in the words of Mr.. Clark,
a well-known Yorkshire naturalist and himself
an expert amateur cliff climber.
"The climber wears round his waist a stout
leather strap to which are attached two pieces
of webbing passing round the thighs from back
to front 10 this are fastened two iron eyelets,
through which the rope is knotted. 1t is thus
impossible to fall out, even should the wearer
become insensble. Before making descent an
iron crowbar is driven into the top of the cliff
and second rope fastened TO it, the end Of
which hangs loosely down the cliff. This is called
the guide rope, and is used by the climber TO
assist him in controlling his movements, and to
enable him to facilitate his return to terra firma

"In passing over the cliff edge the climber
walks backward down the steep slope, which
in most cases precedes the perpendicular portion
of the cliff and at the extreme angle drives
small steel pulley with a spike attached into
the earth crack in the rock. Over this he
lays the rope which is attached to his body, and,
boldly leaning his full weight upon it, places
his feet upon the rock and practically walks
backward down the face of the cliff. Whilst
descending the climber is held by one man only,
who sits on the cliff top with his feet firmly
planted in two holes dug for the purpose. This
man wears around his waist broad belt of
strong padded leather, around which is passed
the rope so that the weight falls upon his loins.
Certainly the process thus clearly described
seems simple enough, but.it needs no great stretch
of fancy to picture the courage OF man who
can thus walk backward over the brink of cliff
as high as the cross of st. Paul's to the rugged
rocks below, and who, swinging at the end OF
a rope, while hundreds of angry birds shrek
ing and whirling around his head, can calmly
proceed from dizzy ledge to ledge filling his
baskets with the spoil of eggs.

vestrymen, an hour later, "to touch the hardest
heart" In the dim light of the sick-chamber the

IgNgSNI Boniface. fat and smooth, like all
his tribe, leaned on the settle opposite
and seemed to find amusement in my veXation.
"And so, Sir Charles" he grinned, you must
needs be married the years out, or lose the
handsome fortune bequeathed you on those con
ditions. And why do you stick so hardly at
marriage, Sir Charles?"
Because you fool, I've never seen the woman

"Yet there be pretty women aplenty,' observed
Boniface ponderously.

charm, subtle something, which shall appeal
to me ndescribably and make her different from
anyone else, otherwise I'd as lief marry with
that waxen woman OF yours whom you keep in
state in the corner yonder. She at least, would
give me no trouble"
Boniface smote his hip at my words, though
they inspired him.
"sir Charles" he piped, "I've a way out of
this mess for you. You shall keep your money
and shall have the meekest of wives, for you
shall wed with my waxen woman yonder!"
