The man they thought they had Just killed
and the girl whom they had marked to die
stood ON the ledge IN each others arms,
oblivious Of life or death. OF foe or friend,
Of everything but love.
Pauline was still aquiver with the rhock
Of her waking. A cry ringing above her
had brought her from her swoon and she
had looked up to see the terrible balloon
still reeling over her and to find Harry
dangling from a ropes end not ten feet away.
She arose weakly and stretched out her
arms to him.
"Be still; don't move, DEAR" he called
softly. You can't help me. YOU
There was . sudden swapping sound from

He tested the strength OF the cable by

Of toward the shore. The taut rope writhed
fifty feet out from the top Of the declivity.
To the edge OF the cli6 crawled Harry.
He moved rapidly. but at the uttermose

At last he looked down.

Northeastward she could see the waves OF
the great river dancing. On the little anchor
hung her hope Of life; in the water beyond
the farthest cli6 lay her final peril.
She had lost track Of Harry and the DINER

hope of aid from any living thing.

For answer she merely nestled nearer
