Miss Clarke and her companion
had arranged to camp that night I'M
der an overhanging cliff, with elo-
quent possibilities in its weather
beaten sculptured front. some ten
miles to the south of Balcony
House. Early in the afternoon she
found it necessary to send the
guide back to headquarters for some
scientific instruments which had
been forgotten. Thus the two ladies
were left to their own devices for
nearly three hours. They put in
their time exploring the ledge on
which their camp was located,
which was the margin of small
canyon. Except for this ledge
some thirty feet from the bottom of
the canyon-there was hardly
feothold on the face of the nearly
perpendicular walls on either side.
Suddenly, as they scrambled along
the ledge. Miss Clarke stopped with
a startled expression on her pretty
face.
Did you hear that?" she asked
of her companion.
Il thought | heard shout or
groan." said Aunt Nelly.
There it is again" said Miss
Clarke. 1T comes from the bottom
OF the canyon"

the bottom of the chasm."
In few minutes the rope was
ready. First they lowered a flask
Of brandy, on the chance that the
man might regain consciousness at
any moment, refresh himself with
a taste of the spirits, and, with their
aid, and the ropes, reach the ledge.
But they soon realized that the suf-
ferer was too badly injured to do
anything for himself.
Aunt Nelly" said the girl, I'm
going down the rope to see what
can be done for the poor fellow. You
take turn of the rope around that
splinter OF rock and hold fast!"
Aunt Nelly was equal to the &C.
casion. The brave girl seized the
rope and lowered herself over the
ledge. She was strong and pos.
sessed of splendid nerve. Bracing
her feet and knees against the face
of the cliff, she went down hand
over hand, and presently was kneel-

brandy down his throat
But now the two women were
confronted with most serious diff
ficulty. The injured man might die
if allowed TO remain lying on the
sun-scerched rocks at the bottom
OF the canyon until the return of
the guide. He was still dazed and
was losing much blood from a great
cash in his scalp. Miss Clarke
shouted these disturbing facts to
Aunt Nelly, who shouted back:
"Im as strong as man. I'll haul
him up and We'll carry him to the
camp. Tie the rope firmly about
his body under the arms
They tried it--Aunt Nelly hauling
on the rope at the top and Miss
Clarke pushing as far up as she
could reach from the bottom. But
soon Aunt Nelly had to admit that
the weight was too great for her.
and the sufferer had to be lowered
again. Then he suggested some
thing:
IF you can manage to get back
to the ledge he said to Miss
Clarke, Il can refasten the rope
about me, and perhaps both of you
can get me up there" His voice
was weak owing to loss of blood.
