. THRILLING FEAT IN MID AIR,
Daring, Skillfal Landing Is All That
Saves Professional Stunt Artist
From An Untimely Death.

Dangling from . thirty-foot rope
s.s00 feet In the air over Checker
board field yesterday. "Dick" Seal
a young professional stunt flyer,
waited with waning consciousness
for his piolt. Capt. o. B. Freeman.
to find a way to avoid killing him.
For twenty minutes the pilot flew
hither and yon. facing a problem
which had brought death to Tex
Mclaughlin. famous stunt flyer. only
a few weeks ago al Syracuse. Then
he plunged down $500 feet. circled
about and by splendid strategy saw
ed the life of his helpless companion
Seal. performing for the lnterna-
tional Weekly. had gone up ON the
extreme edge of a wing OF the plane.
He had tied a rope thirty feet long
about his body and "a to jump
from the wing end. swing wide for
a few moments underneath the plane
and then pull himself up hand over
hand into the body of the plane. No
one but the late Tex Mclaughlin had
ever done il successfully for the
movies.
Too Cold To Climb.
Freeman watched his jump, felt
the tug as he swung below, and then
flew slowly along waiting for Seal
TO join him. Five minutes went by
and then Freeman, curious, mani
pulated the plane so that Seal swung
into sight
He was still at the bottom of the
rope and he held up his hands in a
signal that he could not climb. His
hands were numb with cold and
bleeding from his futile efforts to
make the climb.
Freeman, figuring that Seal would
be drowned by a lake landing and
recalled that Mclaughlin was killed
in a field landing when just such a
situation as this arose, flew around
in a quandry. He swung Seal for
ward again and saw that the lad
was hanging crookedly and help
lessly in his rope seat.
Finally Freeman made a careful
descent of 1900 feet and. surveying
the field carefully for his purpose,
prepared to land with a swinging
circle which would prevent Seal be-
ing crushed to death under the tail
skid.
Saved Through Glide.
His final glide was perfectly exc
cuted and Seal, dragged for 100 feet
clear of the plane, suffered only Sc
we're cuts and bruises. He was treat
ed by surgeons from haywood Hos
pital and taken to his hotel.
Asked last night il he was through
with the stunt, the young athlete
said: Through Why I'm just
beginning. It's no stunt for cold
weather, but I'll try it again. Only
for Freeman, OF course I couldn't"

WHEN THE YEAR u GROWING
OLD.
(By Ira b. HOldenl.

(By Ira b. HOldenI.
When the winds OF bleak November
From the north come sweeping down
And the frost has turned the red
And golden autumn leaves to brown,
Then the leaves forsake the branches
That in beauty they have dressed
To protect the grass and flowers
When the halo at the sunrise
Through their long. long winter rest
And the haze that's In the sky
Plainly speak of Failing Weather,
To the orchard then We HE.
Gather winesap. red and russell
And the Genatons galore.
With young hearts gay and merry
Thinking Of our winters store.
When crops have all been garnered
And We have no room to spare.
When the smokehouse and the cellar
And the larder have their share.
'Tis a season of rejoicing
For there's JOY on every side
With our labor we'll rewarded.
And it's nearing Yuletide.
Though the fields are brown and
barren,
And the trees no. beauty show.
Yet the time TO me most precious
Is when Christmas fires glow.
Then perchance a falling snowflake.
With its touch 80 soft and cold
Tells us that Old Winters coming
And the year is growing old.
And l think how great the wisdom
Of the One who planned 1t all;
That when leaves have served their
purpose "
On the branches they will fall,
With their mission just beginning,
For when springtime sets them free
Nature has in them a source
or great fertility.
How like leaves upon the branches
Is this fleshy form of mine,
1t with splendor decks my spirit,
(That which is of me divine).
Through life's springtime, summer,
autumn,
Rudy cheek or crown Of gold,
Till my locks are turning silver,
And life's year is growing old.
Like the leaves. l pray my mission
Ever liveth, yieldeth good,
Thro some service l have rendered.
Fraught by faith and fortitude,
Someone's burden / have lightened,
Cheered some heart so sad and cold.
Ere my step grew slow and feeble
And my year had thus grown old.
If it does. I know the purpose.
OF my Maker has been served.
That the Flesh has blessed the
Spirit"
With the beauty it deserved,
And how true that Virtue bringeth
It's reward" a seal of gold,
For the happiest of seasons
Should be when we're growing old.
