The playmates of childhood scatter and, generally are found en gaged In pusuits far different from the dreams of tha toddling and school day period. ' Just' now attention is drawn to a La Grande girl, who In her early days little thought she would be earning a living by courting death twice dally. Every afternoon and night she takes her life In her hands and goes to the very brink of the grave, as it .were. She is the highest salaried artist with the great Bells-Floto show (the Shrln ers' show) and dill be here with the monster tented exhibition, May 29. She returns to the city of her birth, not under her own name, but with a name given by the rules of profession al life a name known to thousands because they have seen the beautiful possessor execute under the dome of the big white tent the act that has thrilled the world. She does not like the Idea of performing before her own people and is trying hard to conceal her real Identity. ':... Medical men and scientists, who have seen her act and made deduc tions thereon, are of the opinion that some day sooner or later her life will be snapped in the very midst of her marvelous, death-defying stunt; that her head will be wrung from her very body. . s E O.
