| tnlnkln tnab possibly there might nave
been an accident there. Sure enough, as
approached the lower edge of the cliff and
peered down among the rocks below, |
could see something a-lyin' all in heap
in the bushes. You know what skittsh
things women sometimes are, how they
will take on powerful bad on occasions and
well, didn't want no such COINS on here
so | says quiet like to the gal Guess I'll
20 down and explore this ravine; you wait
here Now that was ii putty bad climb
down them rocks, and | had To give my
whole mind to it. so didn't have much of
4 chance to see what was gOin' On, But
when cone safely to the bottom and be
gun looiin' around, 10 and behold the gal
had climb down too!
II sec then that there was no eettin'
ahead of her, so Jest let her 20 and put
for the man in the bushes Poor Teller.
He'd a purity bad fall OF it, and was turrbly
bruised and stunned, but fortunately no
bones were broken add he was conscious,
though unable to get up
"IEerr now was stcklrr. How was
a @o.u to get him back to the hotel? He
was strappin big Teller, fully as heavy Is
l, AMI not able to help hisset one particle.
Well. | scratched and scratched away at
my heard and thunli it all over. bat all in
vain; not a solitary way could think Of.
! | might have tried to tote him in on my
shoulder like deer bat that would have
nigh killed him to death with bcin' shool:
| up, to say nothin' of hrealiin' my back into
| the bargain. Or | might have carried him
| by short spells in my arms, but that would
have taken all night or more, if was able
to do it at all.
81 didn't see no other way to do than to
90 back after help, and | was jes on the
point of lightin' out for my friend not far
gway. Here, Mr.. Dewey, come and lend
"a hand, and we'll carry him back home
Could | believe my eyes! While I'd been
a'standin' and starin' in stupid helpless at
the bulk of the injured man and wonderin'
what I'd better do next, the gal had gone
to work and with two poles and some cross
sticks and bits of Irvine had somehow OF
'nuther managed to manufacture RELY
good first class litter.
"Well, carefully lifted the unfortunate
TELLER and laid him gently upon that ERE
arrangement; and liftin' one end, the gal
took the other, and we started out for
home. That was no ordinary tote, let me
tell you. The way was rough and uneven
and lay through the very thickest part of
the woods. With no hand free to ward
them off, the matted branches of the spruces
whipped me at every step tore and scratch
ed my face and buds, and handled me gen
orally IN a most unpleasant manner.
GLOW that ere gal was able to stand
that tug, amt able to this day to see.
Long before we got out of the wods my
arms were as numb as two sticks and my
back felt as though it had met with a COM
pound fraction, but she hung onto her end
right along never onct uttering' word OF

could hear them 'Xaspcratin branches and
swishin limbs tackle her. the minute they
were done with me, without no regard for
that 'crc dciicutness you was a-tellin' on,
and as fur as | could see, without no effect
on it nuther
Them boulders, too and protrudIn'
roots and stubs, and fallen branches and
deceivin' heaps Of moss, they found their
match in that ere woman, and you d better
believe it amt no tlimsy creetur as can
ware through them fur, ducliin this way
and that under the limbs OF the trees and
helpn' to lug good hundred and fifty
pounds and more to boot.
"Well, breathed IA little easier, II adj
nit, when we got down onto the level
country again and come out on the trail
1t was easier goiu' then and we made con
siderable better time. But even then it
want no boy 5 play, and I've been at COM
fortabler jobs good many times since then,
and not fur from where we're a-settin' now,
boys, too. That was long, hard pull, but
we come to the end of it at last and turned
our charge over to the doctor at the hotel,
an my duties was done.
That Teller, | heered 'em tellin'
around the Hotel was turrible used up,
and it was many day before see him
show hisself, even with crutches and band
ages, hobblin' around on the piazzy like
dog as had been tackled by a bear. Bineby
he come ont all right, though, and soon
after he and the gal and her parents went
off home to New York, and l didn't see
them no more.
"Now that amt the end of my story Jest
yet About two or three months after
they'd been gone some time, got parcel
in the mail. II come to ". Dewey, Guide,
