sized and threw them, most unceremoni-
ously, into a pile by the roadside.
1t proved u most dangerous manner of
unloading; rs few exciting moments
proved. Miss Ayerill was thought, at first,
to be killed, rs the conclusion made her
unconscious, and she lay. for a short time,
limp and apparently lifeless. Conscious
ness, however, soon returned and she
proved to be not very seriously injured.
Her escape from sudden death was very
narrow, as her neck was famed, and evi.
IDENTITY came quite too dangerously near
being broken. But she came off much the
best Of the trio. as Mr.. Averll found his
left shoulder dislocated, and Miss Iewes
realized at once the lamentable fact that a
broken and dislocated wrist would force
her, for an indefinite time, to rest from
her labors." Her injuries are severe,
painful and damaging. Had it been her
left instead of her right wrist that was so
completely disabled, she could, perhaps, in
short time, use her shears, in her accus.
toned vocation of dressmaking.
