"U Jack Tunnicliffe proinc; with you
to-morrow, Tom?" said my wife to me.
"I wish you would take some one else."
"Why, Norah?" I asked.
"lie's been stranger than ever in his
manner since his wife died, I hear. In
fact, I've been told by more than one
person that he's quite insane at times.
It's not to be wondered at it he is, poor
fellow. I don't know a sadder case.
Ile'd only been married a week. Such
a. horrible death, too! It's enough to
turn a man's brain, and I must confess,
Tom, I wish Jack was not going with
you."
"Nonsense, Norah! People always
exaggerate and make the worst of
things, as you Jtnow. If a man's at all
original or eccentric, it's at once
assumed that he's non compos. Of
course, Jack's low-spirited and absent-
minded, and perhaps a bit peculiar at
times. How can he help brooding over
his terrible loss? He wants some ex
citing occupation to take ofE his
thoughts from his trouble. He's fond
of ballooning as I am, and a trip will
do him all the good in the world."
The above conversation between my
wife and myself took place on the
evening before the day which I had
fixed for a balloon ascent. Ballooning
was my hobby. I had conceived
liking for it on my first ascent. This
liking had become a "craze," for the
novel experience and strange sensation
of sailing over houses and trees, and of
soaring into the clouds, had a peculiar
fasaination for me.
Recently, I had tried utility with
pleasure, and had made some ascents
solelv for scientific purposes. I had
found a kindred spirit in young Tunni
cliffe, and we had had many delightful
and successful trips together. Owing
to the untimely death of my friend's
wife, our aerial expeditions had been
suspended for awhile. As several
weeks had elapsed since that sad event,
I felt anxious to resume these expedi
tions, and as Tunnicliffe had expressed
his willingness to accomtmnv me
day had been fixed for our next trip,
It was when I was talking to my wife
about this self-same trip that she ex
pressed her regret that Jack Tunni'
cliffe was going with me.
I had not much diftculty, however,
in overcoming her objections and al
laying her fears. She was not averse
to my hobby, and had even accom
panied me in one or two of my jour
neys in the air. Moreover, she sym
pathized with me in my desire "to
make some useful discovery," and was
therefore unwilling to damp my ardor,
or hinder the progress of my obsorva-
tions. She had felt the exhilarating
effect of a balloon ascent, and my ref
erence to the benefit young Tunnicliffe
would probably derive from the pro
jected trip appealed to her experience
as well as to her tender heart.
Accordingly, next day at the ap
pointed time, everything being in readi
ness, we started on our aerostatic
journey. Tunnicliffe, contrary to his
usual demeanor, seemed a little ex
cited, but this caused mo no appre
hension. Ilis interest had apparently
been awakened, and it was only naturtil
that he should be animated on such
an occasion. The balloon was set at lib
erty as soon as we hud taken our seats,
and the machine rose beautifully. There
was a gentle breeze, which bore us
slightly southward. We rose slowly
at first, and so had plenty of time to
gaze on the vast and extending panor
ama below us.
Presently we entered a huge bank or
mountain of cloud of the kind called
cumulus, and were surrounded by
chilling mist which Induced us to put
on the wraps we had brought. When
we emerged from the cloud n scene of
fairy-like beauty suddenly burst upon
us. We were in a kind of basin sur
rounded by mountains of clouds of the
most fantastic uliapes, of enormous
tizc, and of duzzling brightm-M. Now
nd then, as we rose, we caught night
also of wondrous ravine, of curious
shape and great depth. These inouii
tains of clouds, with their silvery aitd
golden sides, their dark shadows, their
varied tint and summits of dazzling
whiteness, presented to our wondering
gaze a nee no of surpassing beauty and
grandeur..
I nil sublime spectacle evoked my
highest admiration, while the silence
and vustnrs of space inspired me with
we. I drank In these rx.iuiaite an
varied delight with such avidity an.
with such absorbing Interest that
had scarcely looked at, or spoken to,
my companion since we had started
Hut an exclamation from him now ill

How's Your Liver?
with a madman, and about four miles
from the earth. I felt the cold sweat
on my brow, and my brain began to
reel. But with a tremendous effort I
pulled myself together, for my only
chance of safety was in retaining my
self-possession. To attempt to over
power him was out of the question
the strength of a madman is so well
known. My only hope of escape was
to outwit him. But how? Forced in
to unnatural activity as my brain was
by my desperate situation, and by the
necessity of prompt action, I could
think of no device or ruse that would
do any good; I was completely at the
mercy of the madman.
The hopelessness of my case para
lyzed all my energies. I felt unable to
move or speak, and even the power to
think was almost gone. In ray despair
glanced at the valve cord. Owing
to the rotary motion of the balloon it
had unfortunately become entangled.
To free It I should be obliged to leave
the car and climb into the ring. But
to attempt such a thing (even if I were
physically capable of i;) would bo cer
tain to lend to a struggle which would
as certainly seud one or both of us out
of the car.
We were now at such a height that
asphyxia was imminent. I could hear
my heart throb quite plainly. I
breathed with difficulty, and a horrl
ble sensation like that of soa-sickncss
came over me. The cold was so in
tense that I shivered, notwithstanding
my wraps. The mental strain was ter
rible. I was almost frantic Know
ing, however, that in a few minutes I
should be unconscious, and that then
all would be over with me, I nerved
myself for one last effort.
As 1 rose from my sent my eye fell
on the grnpnel. Foitunntcly it was on
my side of the car. A sudden idea
struck me, here was a weapon to
hand. It was an awful thought it
would lie a terrible ilocd. Hut there
was now no alternative, no time for
delay. My senses wero going. 1
stretched out my hand, but the mad
man, who never took ins eve off mo
hud detected my purpose. With a sud
den movement he darted forward and
seized the grnpnel, but in his eager
Dens to forestall mo he had precipitat
ed himself too far over the aide of tht
car and lmot lout his balance. II
made a deaerate effort to recover
himvlf. hut, seized with sudden and
Irresistible Impulse, I pushed hltn over,
and with a horrible yell, which rings
In my ears whenever I recall the oc
iMirrt'ire, the madman disappeared
from my aight.
Alumni mad myself I am not aure
that I wsa not quite so just then I
cliniWd into the ring to reach the
valve line. Hut my hanil were an
atiiT and numb with the cold that I
could not gran the cord. Ily a kind
of inspiration whieh aeemrd provider
tinl I m-Ued the cord with my teeth,
and after two or three tug the valve
opened with a loud rlang. and the bal
loon Wfin to deaeend. Thank heav
en! I wa saved. My hand bring u
le. I - oMige I to throw up my
arm and drop lul l I lie ear, where I
lay motionlfks and uncanacioua for
while.
My wo..n could not haw lasted more
than a few aeeon l. for when I recov
ered the barnttirler showed that I wa
still In a high altitude, atihough the
balloon wa dr'-n.liiif rapidly. I

circulation wa reatorr.L Then I art
