in the Black Mountains. She was a
typical mountain girl, bare-footed, rud-
dy-cheeked and hearty. One day while
home alone there was a terrific
storm. The earth, loosened by rain,
tumbled down the mountain side,
bringing with it huge boulders and
covering the railroad tracks, which
were near her home. Her first thought
was of the fast express then due, and
tearing off her petticoat, she dashed
from the house and down the tracks
in the direction Of the approaching
train
The engine driver of the express
saw her warning signal and applied
the air brakes. The heavy train
dashed by the girl. but was stopped
within ten feet Of the obstruction
Below the tracks was an abyss several
thousand feet in depth.
When the passengers alighted and
realized their narrow escape they
picked up the little mountain girl and
showered her with kisses. Others
took up a collection, and more shin
ing bits of silver were poured into
Nannies apron than she had ever
seen before.
A report Of the trains escape was
made to the officials of the road, and
an agent was sent to Nannie's house
to learn how she could be best
awarded. Mamie has seen several
college girls in the mountains, and
she wanted an education, she said
A report was made to the company,
and SO delighted were the officials
with the good sense of the girl that
it was announced that the Southern
railroad would send Mamie to nor
NAL and collegiate institute in Ash
vile. If she decided then she wanted
to go to one Of the great colleges
north, the railroad company agreed
that, after a three years course at
Ashville, they would pay all her ex-
penses and accede to her request.
who was i'll. died. The family moved
to old Fort and arrangements were
being made to send Mamie to Ashe-
vile when Alonzo Ellis, her sweet
heart, appeared on the scene. He
took her away to the home of a
preacher and they were married.
The father learning of the disap-
pearance of his child, started in pur-
suit.
When he found the couple he took
his daughter away. He has brought
her home and announces that he will
at once take steps to have the mar
riage annulled..
Whether Nannies escapade will
cause any change in the plans of the
railroad company to give the girl an
education has not been announced.

DIES OF HER INJURIES.

Des Moines, July 20. - Miss Edith
McDivitt who was crushed under a.
street car on Ingersoll avenue on July
is, died of her terrible wounds Thurs
day morning at 5 o'clock. The
death occurred at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Lloyd Jordon at 1929 Inger-
soil avenue, and resulted directly
from gangrene poisoning formed from
the injuries.
Miss McDivitt was the victim of
street car accident in which she was
crushed under the wheels of an east
bound Ingersoll avenue car near Thir-
tieth street on the morning of July is
as she was starting for the Mutual
telephone office, where she had been
employed as an operator. She had
hurried from her home and passed be.
hind westbound car just in time to
step in front of a car bound for town
which was passing on the other side.
She was thrown under the wheels
and frightfully mangled, both her feet
and one arm being terribly crushed.
No blame for the accident was at.
tributed to any one, as the young wo-
man had evidently failed to see the
car
She was taken to the Mercy hos
pital. where she remained for a short
time under the care Of DIR. Hanawalt.
when the case was turned over to Dr..
E. Luther Stevens A difference OF
opinion among the physicians as to
whether or not amputation might save
her life, caused some little discussion
at the time, as Miss McDivitt was q
Christian Scientist. Both physicians
stated that amputation, was only a
chance and that the girl herself chose
to put it off as long as possible in or.
der to avoid being MANNED for life
should she survive the ordeal Ampu
tation was finally performed on her
arm, but it was not deemed necessary
to amputate the injured feet.
Miss McDivitt was removed to her
sisters home six days after the acct.
dent She rallied for time, but dur.
ing the last few days she has been
slowly sinking.

GIRL SLEEPS IN PARKS.
Pretty Gotham Wait of Is For Two
Months Lives ShelterIees.

New York, July 20. - Afraid to re-
turn to her foster-mother, too proud
to appeal to friends or acquaintance
without money or clothes other than
those on her back, Isabel Cowan, Is
years old, has for two months been
sleeping in the thickets in Central and
Riverside parks and feeding herself
on stray bits of bread or on partic-
ularly lucky day, whole loaf drop
ped from bakers wagon. When
found by the police her condition was
pitifuls Her long, dark hair was a
mass of tangles, her dress was torn
and soiled and her large blue eyes
were heavy over her sunken cheeks
But even then it was evident that she
was a pretty girl and possessed of
considerable native refinement.
Beauty Cause Of Trouble.
1t was because of her beauty, &C.
centuated by the unusual combination
of dark hair and complexion and deep
blue eyes, that she was led to leave
home. infatuated with man. not a
youth, she consented to elope with
him, but he abandoned her almost at
once, leaving her to face the anger Of
her foster-mother, Mrs. Jean Riley of
1872 Columbus avenue or to seek her
fortune alone. That much the girl adj
mitted, but Of the man she would say
nothing more refusing to make known
his name.
Not knowing where to turn, the girl
found herself in Central Park when
night fell, she said, and sought bed
in thicket in the northern part
Takes Bath At Dawn.
There she slept most of the time for
the two months she was a waif, though
now and then she moved to Riverside
park for a night. Just at dawn she
occasionally would take a quick
plunge in the river in some spot shell
tered from observation. Stunning
places where she had been known
though continually in fear some of her
friends would come upon her. she was
able until recently to escape detec-
ton. Her mother, however, appealed
to the police and today detectives
found the girl on a bench in Riverside
Park at Ninety-eighth street. Mrs.
Riley declined to take her back and
Isabel was turned over to the Chill
dren's society.
