IN A BALLOON.

"I roar of applause burst from a thousand throat# the balloon had started. Like a falcon whose eyes the hunter had suddenly uncovered it rose into the air, superb, erect, and with the grace and rapidity of a bird. Already it was scarcely possible to distinguish the edge of th* basket and the heads of the two aeronauts mounting with it. Leaning from their fragile rampart of osier both of them saw, decreasing and effacing themselves from second to second, below and around them, the forma and dimension!" of terrestial objects. What was the mass of white and gray things above which they floated, irregular, notched on the edges, and threaded in all directions with lines of black? Naples'" Yes, Naples, which they wers quitting, a city reduced to the proportions of a hive.

But to the right and left, before and behind them, what a marvelous horizon. Vesuvius was there sleeping her unique sleep: then farther along, the jagged lint* of the Apennines "and of the other coast" and farther than the eye could reach, the vast sea, blue and scintillating under, the yellow -un.

Suddenly in the profound stillness of the azure a woman's voice resounded clear as a tinkling crystal. "Oiiviei," the said, "Olivier, you* hand. •"With pleasure. Lea. allow me," and this time the voice «as that of a man. "Thanks." and she whom he had called Lea reseated herself and closed her eyes with a shudder. The man turned his head and regarded, his companion, who very pale, had thrown herself upou the bench encircling the basket. *.1 'What is the matter with you ise demanded. "Are you ill?'' "I wun afraid—vertigo seized me-it is over now, passing her hand aeros? her eyes,

A"DO you regret your fancy No. certainly not but a first experience surprises the nerves a little. Don't worry yourself, she added. I »hal! be come inured to it.

The gvntleman made no reply, but, upright beside her, contemplated her fixedly. Truly a charming picture in hei jaunty tourist dress, fitting like a glov« the rounded outlines of her supple figure, a man's cap coquettiahly posed upon the golden hair knotted carelessly at the back of her neck, the dull pallor that had settled upon her 'Jace but heightening .the light of her splendid eyes. The young woman also regarded her companion, a man of grave and scholarly mien, at the present moment, however, troubled or morose. ..

And you. Olivier," she said in turn in her singing voice, noticing his lowering brow, "whence comes that somber air?"

Olivier still answered nothing, but leaning again from the edge of the basket watched their course. •'We mount too rapidly," lie stud at last, and seizing a cord that hung within reach of his hand he drew upon it lightly Instantly there was a sensation of slackening, then of arrest, and finally of a movement in the coutrary direction. ''Are we descending forgodand all?" Lea demanded.

When I please. have only to reclose the escape pipe that releases the gas. You see this cord that I hold in my hand? It is that which regulates our course. .ti "And should it break

It cannot: it is solid. But if by a sort of miracle it should disappear we would be lost. "Lost?" "Yes. lost the balloon is so powerfully inflated with hydrogen that it would carry us to the regions where the air becomes irrespirsble. We should be asphyxiated. "Happily it would require, it seems to me, two miracles, for the cord—it double, is it not?* "In effect, yes: in reality, no. Lean this way a little more. Do you notice above there something that- looks like a loop The cord passes through it these are its two ends that I hold in my hands. They are joined, of course, but a stroke of a knife would suffice to separate themSee.

now

that the ends are liberated I

have only to draw upon one the cord glides through the link, falls to my feet, and. behold! we start for the great voyage!"

The young man, as he spoke, suited the action to'the word. The rope rat* tied through the fastening ahd dropped to his hand, to l»e launched a second later into sj*ace. The voung woman )ea(ed to her feet, shivering and be wiUf^red

Voihier,*' she cried, "Olivier, what are you doing Are you mad "*Mad,"* he eCboed. his tone omiUW calm "*110. lam not mad." "Then whatjrloj011 mean? hat do wi*h r. ui 1 wu»h that which is going to happen I wih that we should die together, here, in the wide heaven, far from the earth that I have execrated ever since I learned to know you there as you really are— ever since the mud of which it is made splashed the idol that my superstition adored in you.

You would have made a most excellent comedienne, you to whom love is but poetical aspirations, ethereal dreams, aimless flights into the azure— you who have the voice of a siren,the face of an angel, the heart—ah, well, we will talk not of your heart, inon ami. but of your whim.of the moment?

Olivier shrugged his shoulders/ "I could not hinder it if I woulrl. he answered. I am not able. "Then,'' cried Lea, flinging herself upon him and seizing the knife that he still held 111 his hand, "I will save myself I will pierce thin wicked vveb." And she raised her eves to the rounded belly of the balloon so far above them. "Try it," said Olivier, coldly.
