She saw him, but gave no glance of recognition. Her eyes were fixed straight ahead in a cold, .hard glaze at the table where Val- laincourt sat with the torch singer.

That's why their thoughts turn these days to that February afternoon in 1947 when a kite sav- ed the day. The owner of the kite, Homan Walsh, lived on the American side of the river near Bellevue village, which now is the busy city of Ni- agara Falls, N.Y. Because he was looked upon as the kite champion of the district, he was one of the boys sent for when someone 'sug- gested a kite flying competition as the first step to carrying the bridge across the gorge into which no boat could 'venture. It took two tries, but Homan's kite and his alone: reached the op- posite bank at the nafrowest part of 'the river, Records show he re- ceived a reward which was prob- ably considered handsome in those days--$5 and a special kite string. . * * x Once under way, construction of the bridge - went forward rapidly under the direction of Charles El- lives directly above the swirling rapids.
