above Owen and Hicks watched every
movement Of Harry as he brayely
climbed up and down The rope, each
realizing that they were crushed and
that their plans had failed. But fail
ure with these Williams always proved
spur to further plans for the ruina-
ton of Owens ward and her boyish
lover
While Harry was making fast the
balloon rope, having opened the valve
and allowed all the gas to escape, and
preparing for another perilous descent
over the almost smooth surface of
the lower cliff, Owen and Hicks were
contriving a further plot to finish the
work of destruction they had COM
menced earlier in the day. Their plans
carefully mapped out they separated,
Owen taking his own car and Hicks
appropriating Harry's.
Womanlike, when danger threaten
ed and she was alone. Pauline braved
the danger of a descent from the bal
loon suspended in mid-air but with
Harry by ner side she was fearful Of
attempting a trip down the mountain.
Harry, | can't Climb way down
there she sobbed to her sweetheart
and he, with the instinct of a true
lover, the one who sees as his first
duty the care OF mis- chosen mae,
agreed with her that she could not
and need not. Taking the girl upon
his back he once again risked his life
On a slender rope and upon reahcing
the foot of the cliff was we'll nigh
exhausted.
Hardly had Harry and Pauline reach
ed the bottom before Owen rushed
around the corner of the cliff and con-
graduated them upon their miraculous
escape. So plausible was the arch
william that neither suspected him of
being the brains of the affair which
had very nearly ended disastrously
for each of them several times.
You look after Pauline, Harry"
advised Owen, land l will go and get
your car for you. We must hurry
home as rapidly as possible as you
will both need careful attention.

Taking in the situation at a glance
Harry decided that it was one that call
ed for strenuous action End that a
bold stroke was all that would save
them, or at least the only way they
could eXtrie1et themselves from their
perilous position.
Without hesitation he evolved plan
that would have made the average
man consider long time before fol-
lowing. He had decided th"t the rope
to which the balloon was anchored was
necessary TO aid in their descent from
the cliff but in order to secure this
rope it was necessary that the gas
bag be emptied But one method of
accomplishing this end presented itself
and Harry decided to follow this
method. With the agility of the train
ed athlete he commenced to ascend
the rope down which Pauline had trav-
eled but a short time before. Hand
over hand, few inches at a time,
with snail-like crawl he gradually
drew away from earth and from Paul
inc. Foot by foot the distance length
ened and as the. crave youth perform
ed this periloIs feat Pauline's love
for him became stronger than ever
Always in love with Harry there were
frequent occasions on which he sore
ly tried her temp-r and. being OF a
high-strung disposition she was prone
to give way to her feelings and the
love was manifested in numerous ways
that were far from apparent
After what seemed to Pauline hours
Harry reached the basket of the bal
loon, loosened the cord, which con-
trolled the gas valve and started once
more to travel the slender rope to
Pauline and terra firma.
