Hannah Perkins. of 1922 Christian
street, Philadelphia. She is now in the
care Of a physician, who said today
that 1t would take weeks of constant
watching to restore her to a normal

through the thicket they found in q
little clearing a bed of leaves beneath
a canopy improvised from pine and
cedar boughs. and ON the outside the
ragged remnants of a quilt. Suddenly
there appeared within a few feet of the
hunters the form of a girl, who whirled
the rattles of a rattlesnake about her
head.

your mother" said Mrs. Perkins, who
was in tears.

as she started to run away, hut was

to exist during the several weeks she
spent in the woods with birds and
snakes, although she limited that

vious to her flight to the woods the

Laces Under Them.

+ NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Misses
Agnes and Catherine Barrett, mani
scurists, of French Lick, Ind, came In
yesterday aboard the French liner La
Gascogne, from Havre. wearing long
~raincoats to keep out the mist.
Acting Deputy Surveyor Tierney sus-
pected hat the raincoats might have
been put on also for another purpose.
and he suggested an examination of
the young rain-coated voyagers by
women inspectors. Under the rain
coats were opera coats of old lace, and
beneath other layers of dress were
twenty pieces of jewelry, none expen-
sive. The young ONE wept, declar-
ing that they did not mean to smuggle.
The lace goods and the jewelry were
confiscated and the young women were

tina the race stop and the injured ones
be attended to.
It was some time before the wrecked
machine could be pulled off Mr.. Rein
ertsen. Both he and Daskin were then
hurried to st. Johns Hospital. but Mr..
Reinestsen died almost Immediately

tured and almost every bone in his

much worked up over the accident and

event on the card, which was the race
against speed to be made by Mr.. Chris
tie. The track has a record of a mile
in So seconds, and Mr.. Christie was to
receive $500 If he made a new record.
But it was decided to postpone the
event for a few moments, and Barney
Old1eld was SEN around and made a
mile in 1:10. BY this time the audience
had its nerve back, and Mr.. Christie
appeared in his magnificent machine
which he used in the Grand Prix races
in Paris. the Christie Direct Drive. He
was given a shout OF welcome.
When the eighth-mile post. where the
accident to Mr.. Reinertsen's machine
had happened, was reached, the crowd
gave a gasp of horror as they say

around and over and then fall to the
ground in exactly the same manner as
the car of Reinertsen's had, but fortu-
nately Mr.. Christie's grasp on the wheel
had been broken and instead of going
under the car he shot twenty feet into
the air and fifty feet ahead of the car.
