ment, rendering her unconscious.
Miss Bonnie visited the river bluffs
to gather mushrooms and was seized
from behind. but she managed to break
awav and run, but was overtaken and
felled to the ground
After accomplishing his purpose and
believing the girl to be dead, the
assailant dragged her body to well

Miss Bonnie sank to the bottom but
rose again. The cold shock had the
effect of reviving her to such an extent
that she realized her peril and made

failures she reached the top, but was
still in a dazed condition and remained
sitting ON the edge of the well. If the
man is caught he will probably be
