"What a grimy, angular, hard sur? face it is." she thought, as she studied the hills and valleys, the promonto? ries and ravines of the aerial geog? raphy, flecked here and there with cloud's of smoke aud swift rushing flights of silver white stream. "Truly, tired as 1 am. I feel lt is a good thing I am privileged to eat and sleep next to the surface of the earth.

But he was too far away, or, per- B baps, he purposely avoided heeding of ber. "If he would bal look'." she cried de; ns, si-iaing a chair, she stepped upon lei lt and raised the window to its full Tl height, "perhaps a realization of the H< fact that 1 am witness of his desper- w< ation would cause him to pause." in lier effort, Of something, she knew sh not what, caused him to step across Ci the balcony and disappear through an di open window, and- for an instant she r? felt relieved.
