bine practice and study by working
their farms while they continue a

their individual needs.

Young FrenChman'S PeriIOuS Trip

A runaway balloon is a bit like a

young French artilleryman whom Mr.
j. b. Brandreth quotes in the Wide

The three men nearest the end of
the line Immediately slid down and
dropped to the earth. The fourth man,
poor fellow, had somehow got the
rope twisted once round his forearm;
by the time he was free and had
jumped the balloon was perhaps 80
feet from the ground.
No doubt |, too, would have tried to
jump but that, when the rope sudden

and my right leg became entangled in

seemed to be racing away from me at
express speed.
Realizing that l must do something
to save myself, l made an effort to
bend up and reach my leg. To do It
was far from easy, and | suppose
