I trembling fingers were grasped in *
handshake by America's ambussadol
to France, Myron T. Herrick, and by
Frenchmen of high position.
But Lindbergh was too weary seem
lngly to know what It was all about.
He smiled and said: "Thank you.
am awfully happy"?and then his fa.
tlgue could be fought off no longer,
and he seemed to go to sleep stand
ing there on his feet.
Outside the crowd was howling fot
a sight of the hero who had won the
heart of France as no American prob
ably had before. Brilliant searchlights
wars focused on the balcony of the
building into which Lindbergh had
been carried. Rat the crowd had te
be dtaappolnted?Lindbergh could do
no more.
The American ambassador came to
the balcony and waved the aviator's
helmet at the crowd, which kept
shouting: "Thg pilot?the pilot?let
ns see Lindbergh."
Lindbergh, asleep on his feet, was
lifted np and carried to an automo
bile and hurried to Paris, a few mlle>
away to sleep after so mauy hours
when even to close his eyes for a
moment might have meant death.
Asleep on Feet
Tonight he lies in bed in his coun
try's embassy. It was after midnight
when he reached there?(1 hours sr.
ter he got out of bed in New York to
Otalte the great adventure.
It was at Ambassador Herrick's In
slstence that the youth permitted him
self to go to the_ embassy, and the car
had difficulty in 'threading its wa>
through the crowds to the residence
of America's official representatives.
Here French aviators assisted the
blrdman to alight. He stumbled as
he slept In their arms.
"Good old fellow," they shouted as
they bade him goodnight.
The world must wait until tomor

him forever famous. What thoughts

two days and a night' along the Amen
