Tw enty years ago Lafcadlo Hearn

Pranrlsco.Art-onaut, a famous steeple

Hearn arranged their end of the fret.
At the appointed lim e Hearn a-.oimted
the stee| le climber's ahoul'irrs and the

Tens of thou
sands of people wstched the foolhardy
pair. A t last the cross waa reached and
Hearn left his perch on the climber's

turned to the ground safely. Hearn
went back to tbe office and sat down
and wrote two eolumns of u story de

of the view he had obtained from
