A Young Gtrl's Adventure I'm a

A young lady named Effie Boon, liv

90 mother, had an exciting adventur,
few days ago and one the effects O
which have prostrated her upon a bee
OF sickness. She teaches at school
house two and half miles from home
and on Monday she did not start fol
home until about o'clock. Between
the school house and Stockport there is
dense piece of woods, formerly "a eat
resort for wild game, and where yet
deer or bear are occasionally seen.
1t was nearly dark when the girl an.
tered the wood. and by the time she
was In the middle of it, the sky being
cloudy, she could with difficulty
distinguish objects a few feet away
Suddenly large animal sprang out

When she discovered that it was bear.
The girl screamed in terror, and fed
into the woods, which led for several
miles into the mountains. She sup

her. 1t was so dark that she could
not see three feet ahead of her, and
and the brush tore her hands and face.
and projecting roots tripped her as she
ran h@adlong from her pursuer. At
last, overcome with weariness, she
sank to the ground unconscious.
When she recovered she was drench-
ed with rain, and lay by tn. side of d
fallen tree. 1t was just getting light.
She was so stift and sore that she was
unable TO rise to her feet. As she be-.
gan to realize the power of her situa-
ton she heard footsteps cracking the
brush and approaching where she lay.
Supposing it to be the bear that had
traced her to the spot, she hid her face
IN her hands, and moaned in terror.
The next moment she heard a voice
calling her name.
a wood chopper named Tom Haines
On his way to work in the woods by an
'ln road, had discovered her sit
ing by the log. She was so overcome
with the thought that she was saved
