MARY IN The WELL.
title PennsyIvania Girl Knows How
u Feels TO Fall Into Ten Feet
of Cold Water.

Little Mary Sunberry, of Shamokin,
Pa, can tell how il feels to fall IS
feet down well and land in ten feet
of water. Mary is IL years old and
small for her age, but She is pluckS
and can shout as loud as most any
one.
AT the back of Mary's fathers
house is an old well boxed up TO the
height of four feet. In order to draw
water from the well il is necessary
To throw i'm IA bucket 10 which is at
tached a rope, and then, the bucket
filed, to pull it hand over hand 10
the top of the box, out of which il
must he lifted. This is no small task
for a grown person, and for such Il
little girl as Mary it is very nearly
impossible.
However, Mary is not the kind OF
girl who says she cant. She just
tries with all her might. In this
case she had succeeded in getting the
bucket up to the ledge and was just
about 10 lift it over when il slipped
and dropped back into the we'll De-
termned not 10 give up, Mary hung
on, raised herself on her tiptoes and
leaned over into the well. Probably
she leaned too far-no one knows
quite how il waS-but the first thing
Mary knew she was floating about on
the water i'm the bottom of the well.
Away up above her she could see the
sunshine, but down in the well il was
dark and cold. When Mary shouted
she could hear a great roaring noise,
and this she thought would certainly
bc heard at the house. 1t did not oc-
cur 10 her that the sound was all in
the well and that in all probability
the people at the house would never
hear her. Indeed, it is doubtful if
Mary knew this, for she has not yet
reached the high school and the study
Of physics.
When she first fell into the well her
skirt blew out like parachute, and,
filing with air, rested on the surface
of the water. where il acted as "A life
preserver. But as soon as the cloth,
which was calico. was wet through
she began TO go down, until finally
just the tip end of her nose was above
the surface of the water. Then, act
ing upon an impulse to save herself.
Mary caught the rough stones of the
wall and began 10 pull herself up.
This was successful for time, but
when she was fairly out Of the water
she lost her footing and slipped back.
This time her whole head went I'M
der water. and quick as flash she
thought this is drowning"
II was only for moment, how
ever; then her nose poked its way out
OF the water, as before, and when
she had taken a good. deep breath
she again tried to draw herself up on
the stones. Again she fell and again
she tried TO save herself, only TO fall
back a third time. Just then some
one heard her calling and came to
look down into the well. Mary was
then making her fourth effort TO
climb up the wall of her prison. Hur-
riedly a bucket was thrown down TO
her and into il she climbed, tired and
frightened enough.
Needless TO say, Mary is the hero
inc Of the town, and she has told her
