ont of the eoekpil. down over the
wing and under the plane, swinging
by his hands from the axle between
I he two wheels ot the plane which
hav? the appearance of feet of the

ward the earth and the breathless
crowd below. Almost at the same
time hi* parachute opened, and he

making an opening in lime for liiui
