Tliero were two of us chatting and
Brooking cigarettes at the corner of Can-*!
and St. Ciiarle* streets in that quaint
*nd strange old city, New Orleans—a
tpity of never- ending charms snl queer
4>hases of life and mysteries without
iiumber; a miniature Paris, with its bijou
lliea'ers in the French quarter, where
■the play is in French and the English
language is a foreign tongue, and wheie
♦he men wear their hats and tliU ladies
sip absinthe and poll dainty rings of
qiguretto smoke irorn pretty mouths.
' VVliere shall we go to-night?' Morlun
asked, ihb,
*'Grartd Opera House," I suggested.
•Aren't you tired of JanauSchek'a dia
joonds yet.'
'Well, say the Varieties.'
'Nothing there bub frescoing in the
lobby.'
'Academy.'
Ǥah!'
We smolged awhile in silence, and
' finally decided to see Mile. Mathilde at
Le Petit Theater Franchise, away down
ou Cliartres street. 'lf Golson is in the
c.owd,' said Morlan, 'we'll appropriate
him. Aha! there he is now. Gohton,
•come hither 1'
A number of the young men had cross
ed Caual street, and were passing up St.
Charles toward Common, others oontin-
uina their way along Canal to Bar nne.
A handsome, small, delicate student
emerged lrom the crowd, He h*u hands
as white and small as a woman's, long
black hair, a pale, thoughtful face, and
large, calm, expressive eyes. I was in*-
troduced to hint, and he graspad my hand
waimly and firmly. 1 #
'Have you anything to do to-night,
Golson?'
'Anything to do? Oh, yes, some in
fernal thesis, I believe; but hang the
thesis— George! the dissection
tod. Where ar«s yon going?
'To La Petit Francaiae, we were thick-
Jfc-'
'What! the absinthe and the head-
Ache? Come with me to the college. My
little girl will do the tight rope from the
roof, and I'll introduce yon.
m We turn up St. Charles street to Com
mon, down Common to Raronne and the
college. Crowds were beginning to
er at this point. We threaded dor way
through the tnroug chat pressed against
the railiug argund the college yard, and
ente&d a small door at the side. We
climbed four flights of dark, dismal stairs
and stumbled at the turnings. We felt
our way along a hall, pervaded by a stif
ling blackness and a musty smell, from
tl*o.dissecting rooms. The-light from
the street below streamed meagerly
through a window, and showed os the
dioa outline of a perpendicular ladder
and crawled through a hole in the ceil
ing. Here the darkness was intense.
We found another close at hand, and by
feeling ior the rings, gained the top aud
and emerged \ipon a st ep rojf covered
with slate. We looked around. New
Orleans lay at our feet in all the glory
•of a starry night. On the south we
could trace the river winding in in a
«rescent form around the city, and re
flecting the colored* lights from the ship
ping. Away to the northeast* could be
seen the dark, flat surface of the lake.
To the southeast lay the French Quarter
with its tall, old fashioned houses and iU
narrow streets. To the westward Upper
Town stretched its wealth aud grandut-r
over a large area. Under our feet was
the glare from St. Charles,"Camp,
Common, Caroudulet, Tchoupitouias *nd
Baconne streets. • j
A parapet about twelve inches high
was all tbat could have preserved ws
from the morgue, if the treacherous slato
had broken, or the foot slipped an inch.
Three persons were standing in the gut
ter against the parapet. Of these, two
were rough looking men; the third was a
woman in.tights and short skirts, upil
covered with spangles and stars ami go:d
fnce. The inn wero rngiiged with cer
tain pulleys and cords in drawing to u
greater tension the wire cable that
stretched from the parapet of the college
to the building opposite. The wOtunu
was landing'm th\i shadu of the parapet
an I lo iking down abstractedly i pon ihe
thousands ol' humui beings who packed
the street, and whose Upturned faces,
expressive of anticipation, «ho seeumd to
be studying attentively.
'Alieaily here, Zue?' atked Qolson, in
bis soft, smooth voice. V\
The woman started and turned quick
ly, an expression of intense happiness
lighting up her lace.
*1 was looking for you below,' she
said. *1 was afraid, but I am strong
now. You don't think I'll fall do you:'
'Certainly not! You are very foolish
to ask such a question.'
He introduced us as liis friends, and
she shook our hands pleasantly. She
had a rather agreeable face, though- we
could not see distinctly, the only " ligufc
being that of the Btars and the faiut glow
of from the lamp and torches below. In
any event she dad a pleasant voice, and
that waß sufficient. She also was small,
and delicate and yonng. A shawl was
thrown over her snoulders aud
aims, but her little hands were cold and
she shivered in tho night air.
'I was thinking, Goldy,' she said, 'that
if I should fall,' aud a more decided shivy
ering shook her delicate frame— 'I woti-v
der what they wouH think, and how
they would feel down there?'
'Nonsense, little Zot-!' _
She laughed softly and put her arm
through Gotaou's, and looked up iuto his
face with a touching tenderness aud re»
liance. She again scanned the crowd,
aud was thinking.
'Well, but suppose I should. Do you
think they would cart ? Or would they
nay MIIO was a little fool, and it served
her right?'
'What 1 is the matter, pet?'
'Oh, nothing —nothing whatever, 4 and
she laughed again musically, 'I was
ply thinking. I remember that a long
lime ago, when I was ii child, and my
father was letting me stand on his head
while he iode two horses barj back
around the ring —and I was terribly

wild with fear or aouuAihing, I don't re*
member what—and hd caught m« strong
aud close in his arms as I was fa.lnig,
and kissed my lips, and cheeks, and eyes,
and forehead, aud held me in his arms
quite a while, and called me his d«ar
precious baby. What was I going to
tell you? Oh, yes; about the man who
fell from the tight rope. That was terr -
ble. One end of ihe ropa was passed
over the roof of a bouse, carried down
the side, and made fast to a wooden
block underneath. It had so happened
that the block had rotted off next the
ground, and there was no weight upon it
vVell, anyhow, they tied the
rope around the block, and the professor
was half way across the street when he
began to give an exhibition of jumping.
Suddenly we'saw that the rope was giv
ing way. The jerking had pulled the
block from under the honfce, and was
dragging it up the side. The professot
turned quite pale, and stood and waited.
He came down slowly with the rope. It
seemed as if it would uever stop slipping
over the roof like a long ugly snake. It
soon becaaie slack, and it was, of course,
much harder to balance on it; but he
never lost his presence of mind, and
stood perfectly calm and straight. When
the block had nearly reached the roof—
it ,was a two story house—the rope slip
ped off, and 1 heard the block drop to
the ground. 1 hid my face and crouch*
ed down against a wall, and I heard him
•51.like the ground like something dead.
Oh. it was so hprrihie!' She peered
around into the darkness and shuddeied.
'jfoor fellow Iho fell flat on hia face. It
was the cruelest thing tbat ever happen
ed.
- -Site sighed, and Still gazed at the crowd
below.
♦Did it kill him?'
'No, not quite, hue he was delirious
for several weeks. they ' picked
np the blood gushed from his nose,
his eyes and his earn, and a bloody froth
came from his mouth. I was a little
child then and I dreamed of bim every
night for two or three years. I dreamed
uf hint again last night lor the first time
in a great while 1 thought I went to
pick him up, and could feel his poor

and Ins poor bloodshot eyoß started wills
and cold at me.' .
'You are not well to-night, Z'lf, 1 said
the man of uciencu, exait>io„' liei- pulae
attentively. He became thouuh'ful. '1
don't think you ought to risk it,' he
said.
'Oh, £ am not afraid now that yon I
: are hen-,' she replied in her clwuiiug
>ay:
'I think you had better wait.'
'Now don't e**t naughty. I must go.
I want to go. Why, there's two hundred
dollars in that croyd, aud my malinger
would be ciuzy ifm didn't walk, beside
I contracted to oiu- atreet walk every

'lint it's mow difficult to sea the rope

'I never look at my feet anyhow, when
I Walk.'
'You arc feverish and nervous.' I
•It will uiako uie all the more care
ful.'
•Well, walk then,' said Golson, with a
shrug ot the shoulders.
'Now, Goldy, don't kiok that way.'
lie became cheeiful and beaming in a
moment. The malinger appeared on the
opposite roof and beckoned the girl to
proceed. The attendants at both ends
examiie.l the fasenlng of the rope to see
that they were properly secured. Tlicy
produced trays in which to burn colored
fires and heaped lumps of the combustiblo
mateiial upon the parapet. Zoe mounted
the parapet with an elastio step, and
threw kisses at tho shouting crowd bo*»
low as the red tiros brought out her frail
form. She looked very charming and
pretty, standing, smiling, in the intense
red glare of light.
•Give mo the pole,' she demanded*
smilingly tot Golson, holding otl a small
hand and dimpled arm.
Jlo picked up the cumbersome balanc
ing pole and placed it in her hands. She
( found the centre, shook hands with Gol
son, throw us a smile, rained a shower of
kisses upon the crowd and "topped firms
ly upon the rope. She soon found a safe
pvse, took a few steps, and halted. She
glanced back at the attendants, and re
garded the pile of fire.
'You ire burning it too fast,' she snid.'
'Good-by Goldy,' and she picked her
way over tho narrow bridge that spans
ued the yawning chusm beneath. She
was graceful and walked with consider
able ea-e apparently, stopping occasions
ally to shift the pole and steady hers
self.
- 'She is walking slow and shaky to
night,' said oue ( of the men.
'She is not walking a? well as usual?'
asked Golson, hurriedly, and looking at
ber steadily. His glances never left licr
a moment.
'No; she can beat that. I think she's
In tho sulks.'
Golson paid no attention to the insult'
and watched her with fascinated gaze.
His faco was somewhat paler than usual,
•in Bpile of the rod glare. He did not
move a single muscle. Zoe had passed
the middle ot the street—the most dan
gerous place—and continued her walk to
ward the other end. Sho toiled up the
incline, the rope depressing undr Iter tiny
nimble feet, and at last jumped sate and
sound upou the opposito roof. A fro
memlour deafening shout arose from the
mob, and the plucky girl thro v a buucb
of kisses at Golsom. Tho color had re
turned to his face with unnatural inteusis ;
ty, and the look of absorbing ar.xiely
had passed away. His chest was broads
er and his eye brighter* He simply
smiled at Zoe, and did not eveu applaud
ber.-
The shouting below continued. ' The
men made no prestations to remove,
tho rope, but Golsou started for the Jads
der. • ' i
•She's comin back.' said cue of the
men.
Golson stopped as if he had been
though the brain. Tho hard anxious
look returned, and the deathly palor
came bace all in an instant.
'1 didn't know that,'ho said, calmly
and resignedly. Ho resumad his old
position, .and watched the girl with in
tense interest—with a gnzo in which was
concentrated his soul aud heart aiul njind
and strength—a look in which was ex
pressed the profouudest. feelings of a
sti ong nature.
Zoe rested a moment, and agalii step
ped upon the rope. She had proceeded
about ten feet when oue of the men re
marked :
'She's scared.'
Golson noticed it; we all saw i!. ner
teeth were so tightly compressed ibat in
the dazzling light wo could see III? rid
ges in her cheeks, I lor nostrils were ex
painted, and she stared fixedlv ahead at
the rope. lier breathing was short, anil
a tremor appeared in her ariLSand kjitb.
instead ot her nsnall erect carriage,tliero
was a perceptible leaning forward. When
she had made but a dozen Slops she stop-,
ped nirJ appeared to bo in doabt. She.
then apparently made an effort to walk
backward, but was evldchliy afraid to
hudcrtake ( ji. Sljc stopped again, mus*
tcrod her courage, ibrew a quick glance
at Golscn, and recommenced her dung&r
ons journey. The rope treiublcd and
swayed under Iter leei, and in this way
caught a Swinging motion that tries tho
nerve ot the most experienced balancers.
When she had reached the middle it was
impossible to proceed. Shu might have
Stressed safely, but the tiro on out* side
is cxlKinstsd. Sho had walked more
slowlr than usual, and the lire was con-,
snined 100 soon- She could not see tho
ropo distinctly onough. She stood still
tor several seconds. The Mghl behind
IKM continued 10 burn, but ft was ot no
lissistenco to her, and immediately alter
it was al«o exhausted. We could dis
tinctly see the poor frightened girl by
v thc light frOin below, but ber lace was
obscured. Tho crowd sent up hisses and
groans. The repe-wa'kor attempted to
take another step? She snceeded. Slie
hied a second mid failed. Her foot sud
denly slipped, but she was active and
alert, and caught upoq ]»or kpce. Her
fright increased, and MI tho torrible ex
citement of the moment she dropped the
pale. It Struck the rope, balanced a mo*
mcut, and flipped ofi upon the crowd be
low. There Was a great * scattering, and
thb arowd'rcalized that the young girj
was falling. Every sound was hjisjiied.
The child steadied herself wildly and in*
stirrctivfly a moment with ber arms as.
she knelt on the rope and then foil.
*Golson'l appearance wa*t painful and
pitiable. Great cords stood out upon bis
face, which was overspread by an ago
uy of ghastly pallor. His muscles swell
ed With ridges and knots, and his hands:
a aumod flfc appeaeance oJ aii eagle'®
claws, lie gazed at the nope where
tho girl had a ago stood.
She had oiught by the right hand, and
hung-ffispended over the cobbles, "in
another lament she grasped the rope
with tlw otbsr hand, and hung perfectly
still: GoM>n waited but a tow moments
whou ho saw that fright bad taken the
strength from her arms, and that she
could Hot climb upon the rope. He
dashed OS his hat, and'gaaspod the rope
with both hands, and threw one leg
across it. He crawled along carefully
thit the shaking might not cause the girl
to lose hold. Ihe crowd watched him
in breathless silence. Tho l'ope swung
loner under the double Weight, aud the
tastenihgs creaked and groaned.
'Hold light my child, we could hear
him say to the tainting girl. 'Hold on,
for God's sake, and 1 will save you!'
She raised ber Lead ami looked at him
tor a moment, and tbeu dropped it again
between her arms. He approached her
slowly and paiulully, tor he was astrau*
ger to the situation, aud was afraid oi
slinking her' til. At length he - reached
her. He whispered something to her,
and she looked him full in the face, lie
allowed his right kuee to remain across
the rope, throw his right arm over it at
the elbow, ai.dWisted the right hand
around underneath to secure a Arm bold
aud passed his lelt arm around the girl's
waist. Tho strength o(six men was in
those suple limbs and clean-cut muscles.
He drew her toward him- She released
her hold, her head drooped, aud she
fainted.
'Pay out out at tho college eudl' he
shouted.
His feet were in that direction. It re*
quired four of us to let it out. It slip*
scd'over the parapet slowly aud the suss
ponded pair began to bo lowered.
'Pay it out I' he shouted again,
We'let it go niore rapidly, atul.he and
his swooning charge were against the
building across the street. lie let biin-,
self slide gradually down until ho reach*
(Hi the sidewalk, where ho was met by
the mauager. Tho latter took the girl to
her home.
The crowd gathered around l.iin with
*ild shouts, but he slipped away, and
met us at the door ol the college.
Where is the scounrel who said she was
sulking?'he demanded with au augry
look. *
We pointed him out.
Golson walked up to him, explained
his business aud gave him a stinging
blow in the face that sent bim rolling in
the gutter.
I met the dear old fellow in California
street the other day, aud his little wife
was with biin, charming aud pretty as
ever. She laughingly remarked that
sho liked to see the cfrcus as much as
ever, but that she always felt a horror
lor rope walking. I almost believe that
her dimplss are as pretty as on the night
she threw kisses to a groat crowd In tho
street.

WORRYING THEMSELVES to DEATH.—
People worry themselves ill; they worry
themselves insane; they wdrry themselves
to death. Ambition is a good thing; en

and death.
