No one who saw the tawdry finery of his tlnnel trappings and the cheap ap pointments of the famous Signor Sal viatoria as single handed and alone he prepared the paraphernalia for hla tight-rope performance which had brought him his glory would have ever Imagined that there was time or space in his bu By life for a romance. The Signor was a peripatetic perambulator of the rope, and his field of perform ance lay in country towns, where R was his wont to stretch his narrow pathway across a street from roof to roof of houses whose owners were will ing to extend that privilege to him In exchange for tickets to "the Great and Only Mogatherian Concert," which fol lowed the outdoor exhibition. Yet he hud a romance, and there was in it those elements which one greater than tlwa Signer Hnlvlutoria might easily have cryslallizi'd Into a melodrama that would have stirred the applause of a thousand galleries. . "The greatest act 1 ever done" he said with a natural and easy disregard of accent and syntax, "I done In an Ohio town about ten years ago. I was doing my turn there for a week, as It was the county fair season, and 1 was follow- ! lug their trail like a sleuth, for they brought people to town and helped my business, never none too good. The third night of my performance, which was a half-hour exhibition in midair before the concert had begun, I had gone up to the roof to get thlugs ready, and while I was pottering around snuggln' up the rope and see ing that there wasn't any loose cogs to be dropping, I heard a screech up through the scuttle hole leading to the roof and the next second out popped a woman like one of these here jumping Jacks. It gave me a hard pull on my nerves, but I flew over to eoa what the matter was. It was my land lady and here I want to say that when I stop for any time in a town I go to a boarding house where I can get a rate that won't break me. Got to do it In this line. Can't give It all to railroads and hotels. "In this case I not only stopped at this boarding bouse, but the landlady let me stretch my rope from her roof to the roof of the house across the way, and fls It was the main sneet of the town, it was convenient all the way round for me. The only drawback was that tho lady had a half-crazy husband that never had done anything for her when he had his senses, and now she had to support him and take his abuse of her every time he got in a jealous fit, which was every time she bad a new boarder that was anything for looks and style." Signor Balvlatorla stopped a mo ment at this remark, stroked bis little chin whlBker, and smiled retrospect. Iveiy. "She had only been polite to me be cause I had been polite to her, as any gent should be when there is a pretty woman around, and the landlady was the prettiest little woman, about as big as a piece of soap, I had met. "As I was saying, when I got to her she had slung tho cover to the scuttle hole over it and was sitting on it with her jaws set and Iryingto stick her toes into tho roof to help hold it down. In a mighty few words she told me her husband was on the chase after her with a hatchet to kill her and he would be up from htlow in a minute. She wasn't as bad scared as J was, tor I didn't have much experience In that kind of business and didn't know what to do. I didn't have anything to de fend myself or her with, either, and the more I thought of the situation the more I begun to think bow many things there were that was more dan gerous than walking a tight rope fifty feet above tho earth, and me as inno cent as a babe. The little woman told me to bring a barrel half full of sand there was over in one corner of the roof and we'd set it over the cover of the scuttle to hold It down. I done it as fast as I could, and when we bad the barrel there and about fixed, the crazy hus band came slashing up with his hatch et. As luck would have it the sand fell In on him and knocked him off the ladder below and the barrel gut stuck In the hole, so the little woman and tne hud a minute or two to think, and she done the thinking. " 'Are you afraid?' said she. " 'Some,' says I, nodding toward the scuttle hole. "'I mean of met' says she smiling. " 'Not much,' says I. " 'Are you strong?' says she. " 'That's part of my act,' says I, 'but not against a crazy man with a hatch et,' says I, wondering what she would do next and about how long It would be till the crazy man was on deck with his tomahawk gleaming in the air. " 'Then,' says she, 'grab hold of me right quick and carry me across the rope over to Mrs. Peck's bouse go's my husband won't get at me with that ixe.' "She had more nerve la a minute than I had in a week, but when she laid that my professional pride come to me, and without any more talk! I reached for my balancing pole, and, Hooping down so she could get on my back, which shs didn't like very much, ( muds a quick run for Its eud ol ' rope Just as the crary husband como 5tit of the scuttle through the barrel nd tumbled down on the roof half nnothered with sand. I told her to ' hold tight sud do the praylri' for both rf us and I thought I could get het through safe. I don't know how I ev er got out on that rope with her on my back, for that wasn't the way my pro fession done business, but I got there, and aa I shot out with the woman clinging to me the people la the street below set up such a yell as I never beard before and I come near losing my balance, for I new, and they didn't, why this feature that wasn't on the bills was being howed. "The crowd yelled about twice, and then all of a sudden got so still I could hear the little woman's heart beat. Anyway, I thought I could, but maybe It was my own. I knew when they done that the crowd had seen the man on the roof with the hatchet and rec ognized him, for all the people In the town knew the hind of a fellow he was. At the name time the crowd got still something came to me telling me to nerve myself, for the crazy man would cut the rope and drop me and my load In the street to be crushed into a shape less mass, and I cams near letting go and dropping before I was dropped. I couldn't see what was going on behind me, and all the little woman knew she was whispering to mo to go ahead, be cause we were safe If I only kept my path. 1 didn't know whether she thought about the man with the hatch et or not. Likely she did. It wasn't her to mention It, though, under them circumstances. "While I was thinking about him cutting the rope I was getting along It toward the safe end as fast as t could, the little woman hanging on till she nearly choked me, but It didn't hurt, and I was standing It beautiful. It's funny how a man will find pleasure In life when there's so much In sight that ain't, and I nearly forgot the man with the hatchet thinking about the little woman's amis holding onto my neck as the only hope for her life. Hut It was only for a second; then I felt a Jar on the rope and I choked and braced my self, for I was sure that the crazy man was beginning to cut, and I knew that three or four licks would be enough. I waited for the second jar, hut It didn't come, and in Its place come a spring to the rope, as If . weight had been tnken off of it, followed by a swishing sound and a dull thud on the sidewalk fifty feet below us. At the same time the crowd sent up a groan as If every person In It waa hurt. I didn't know for sure what had happened, but I guessed that the crazy man, like most any crazy person or a mod dog, only had room In his mind for one thing at a time, and wheu that was there there wasn't space for any more. He wanted to kill his wife, and the only way he knew how to do it was with the hatch et by cutting her to pieces. It did not strike him that he could kill her by cutting the rope and letting her drop to the ground. That was too much for him. He knew an easier way, and, as she was out there on the rope not forty feet from him, he would go out there and kill her. Crazy people have such a crazy way of doing things, don't they? lie did, and when he took his second step out on the rope he went over and down to his death. That's what had made the rope spring back, t guess the little woman must have felt that something awful bad happened, though shs never said a word, because when I at last stepped safe on to the roof and the crowd yelled a hundred times louder than they did before they knew what they were yelling about, the little woman let go her hold around my neck and dropped at my feet In a dead faint; and I didn't blame her, either; it was time for somebody to faint, and if she hadn't a done it I would, Btire pop. Her doing It gave me something else to think about, and I got her downstairs as quick as I could where the women took charge of her and soon brought ber out all right. "I guess that's all there is to It," smiled the signor, picking up his bal ancing pole and pointed to a date line and some Initials on It. "This is thj one that steadied us over, and the lit tle woman had them put on there when Bhe bocome the blushing bride of Sig nor Balvlatorla," and the Signor bowed with a sweep that would have entranc ed an audience of millions. ri'tr ol Land for Srttlvrs.

The manufacture of statuary by ma chinery Is made possible by a recent Chicago Invention. When fully devel oped a machine at present In practical operation will turn out reproductions of the works of famous sculptors with all the beauty and perfection of the original statue. This Invention has been successfully operated for sbout three years, hut with such secrecy that it is practically unknown outside the few who have been interested in It. Three of the machines are being used at present to reproduce carving In wood, but the step from this use to the reproduction of statuary In stone and marble Is a short one. Having brought his In vention to its present state, Robert Murgendeier means to perfect it. The construction of the contrivance Is comparatively simple and practical ly an adaptation of the drawing instru ment known as a pantograph. The model to be copied Is placed in such a position that guide fingers following the outline of the model carve an ex act duplicate in the raw material. The machine covers about seventy-two feet of floor space and stands seven feet high. It is automatic In action and not at all complicated, !',!.
