ana, General Lee said. waiting for
steamers to take them to the United
States. Others were coming in from
interior towns and the country die-
tricts. General Lee feared an outbreak
and appealed to the president not to
take any‘dctlon that would perhaps
cause I massacre of helpless citizens of

determined not to send in his message
until Monday. or sooner if all Ameri—
cans could be taken away from Cuba
before then. lie so informed leaders
of both houses of Congress. and warned
them that if they did anything that
would result in assaults on the lives of
Americans in Cuba. the responsibility
would be on their own beads.
it was about 10 o'clock when the first
message from General Lee was receiv-
ed. Three others came before the pres—
ident sent for the Congress leaders.
These messages were received in the
White House telegram room and did
not come HIM the medium of the

that they were addressed to the presi—
dent and not to the secretary of state.

General Lee told of the alarming wu-
dtlct of the volunteers. They were pa-
rading the streets. he said. and making
a demonstration against the United
States government and its citizens.
Their riotous behavior made the con
sul general apprehensive of the safety
of the small army of helpless fellow

showed that be feared an outbreak at

not show the situation to be lese grave.
The president was well aware of thc
character of the volunteers. and knew
that they were capable of going to any
length if they could do so with safety
to themselves. to massacre every Amer-
ican in Havana. It was the volunteert
who were the principal movers in the
riots which made Havana a tiangcrous
piece] to be in for several weeks last
January. Theserriots began as a dom-
onstration against the scheme of an-
tonomy. Fortunately they ended with-
out loss of American life. but they were

was aperlostoile commuter oi the

lowed the outdoor exhiition. Yet he
had a romance. and there was in it
those elements which one greater than
the Signor Salvlstoria might easily
have crytalised into a melodrama that
would have stirred the applause of a
thOusand ”limes.
"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 country fair season, and l was
following their trail like a sleuth. for
they brought people to town and help~
my business. never too good. The
tilird night of my performance. which
won half-hour exhibition in mid-air be~
fore the concert begun. i had gone up
to the roof to get things ready. and
while I was pottering around snuggin'
up the rope and seeing that them was-
u't any loose cogs to be dropping. I
heard a scrsech up through the scut-
tle hole leading to the roof and the
next minute out popped a woman like
one of those here jumping jacks. it
gave me a hard pull on my nerves, but
i flew over to see what the matter was.
it was my landlady—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 ho-
leis.
' "In this case I not only stopped at
this boarding house. but the landlady
let me stretch my rope from her roof
to the roof across the way: and as Ii
was the main street of the town. it
was convenient all round for fit“. The
only drawback was that the lady had
it 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 every time he
got in a lesions rage. which was every
time she had a new boarder that was
anything for looks and style.
Signor Salviatorla ”topped for a mo-
ment at this remark. stroked bin little
chin whisker. and smiled rctrospcct~
ively.
“She had only been polite to me be-
cauae i had been polite to her. as any

"As I was saying. when i not to her

hole over it and was sitting on it with
her jaws not and trying to stick her
toes into the roof to help hold it down.
In it mighty few words she told me her
husband was on the chase sltcr her
with a hatchet to kill her and would
be up from below in a minute. she
wasn't as bad scared as l was. for i
didn't have much experience in that
lmsiness and didn't know what to do.
I didn't have anything to defend my-
nclf or her with. either. and the more
i thought of the situation the more i
begun to think how many things then:
were that was more dangermnl than
walking a tight rope fifty feet sleeve

babe. The little woman told me to
bring a barrel half full of sand that
was over in one corner of the roof
and we’d set it over the scuttle to hold
it down. i done it as fast as i could.
and when we had the barrel there and
about and. the may husbuui came
slashing up with his hatchet. its
luck would have it the sand fell in on
hill and knocked him all the ladder
below and the barrel got stuck in the
hole. so that the little woman and Inc

why this feature that wasn't on the

"The crowd yelled about twice and

maybe it was mine. i knew when’they
done that the crowd had seen the film

go ahead. because we were ssfeif I only
kept my path. I didn't know whether
she thought about the’ man with the
hatchet or not. Likely she did. it
wasn't her to mention it though, under
those circumstances. ‘
“While I was thinking about him
c ting the rope l was getting along
it toward the safe end as fast as I
could. the little woman hanging on till
she nearly choked me. but it didn't

felt a jar on the rope and l choked
and braced myself for l was sure that
the crazy man was beginning to cut.
and i knew that three or four lit-ks
would be enough. I waited for the se-
cond jar. but it didn’t come. and in its
place came a noting to the rope. as if
a weight had been taken off of it. fol-
lowed by a owl-thing sound and a dull
thud on the sidewalk fifty feet Mow

up a groan as if every person in it was
hurt. I didn‘t know for sure what had
happened. but i guessed that the truly
man. like most any crazy person or ii
mad dog. only had room in his mind
for one thing. and when 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 wall with the
hatchet. it didn't atrilte him that he
could kill bcr by cutting the rope
and letting her drop to the ground.
That was too much for him. ll:-
kncw an easier way. and as she was
out there on the rope not forty feet
from him. he.wouid go out there and
kill her. Crazy purple have curb it

He did. and when he tmk bin mood
