Il thought | was getting along all
right when | was suddenly stricken
blind and could not see a thing,
knew there were some men on the
other end of the wire and | began
calling to them. They answered, and
| kept talking TO them all the rest
of the way. In this manner / was able
to keep my nerve, and, feeling my
way across, finished in safety as the
men caught me when l got to the
other side.
But let me tell you one thing:
Whenever you are attempting TO walk
a rope do not move your head or eye
one-siXteenth of an inch. If you do
it, you're gone. Had looked down,
or even turned my head once ycster-
day in going across that rope,
would have fallen. and that would
have been the end Of it all"
The rope on which Baldwin walked
across the canyon was put mp by the
Duny Moving and Storage company
of this city. 1t is $50 feet in length
and in that length there was slack
of nearly eight feet. At its highest
point 1t was 5S3 feet above the bot
tom of the canyon. The rope has o
carrying capacity of 10000 pounds
and was tested yesterday with a
weight OF twelve tons On Sunday
one of Duff's men went across the
rope IN a sling and cleaned it, This
in itself was remarkable feat.

Yestere'en as he bore his part
Merrily beamed the usher's smile
Greeting fair faces in the aisle.
Rosily one sweet bridesmaid blushed
AS that vast throng in the church was
hushed,
And the man of God, by the altar
side,
Called benisons down on groom and
bride.
For the usher had caught the brides
maids eye.
And he gave little impatient sigh.
She whispered no word. and she made
no sign.
But her message came back from the
sacred shrine:
'Be patient, patient, my love, to-
night;
Tomorrow is coming on wings Of
light"
Love makes the world go round, they
say.
But it couldn't go fast enough today;
For the bells are ringing at eventide,
And usher and bridesmaid are groom
