a word OF cheer. Into its cool depths
she could at least plunge and die. as a

Soon an opening showed ahead, and
a bridge appeared. Here. for the FIRST

now seemed She Rugged and patted
them in abject gratitude. She crawled
10 the edge and looked over into the

faint ripple Of silver Here. also. she
could see the moon almost at the

hope now came. Her face and hands
