dwell upon. She was like the doye hiding from
the hawk-the hare shrinking from the teeth

"All hope Of the gal isu't lost We" said Ar

they'd leave some of their clothes at every step,
and wouldn't have a rag left on iein by the time

A twig broke beneath the slight weight Of
Jessie's person. The circumstances added fresh
terror to her situation.
4What was that ?" whispered Arrowsmith.
