4 BRAVE GIRL.
Her Terrible Experience While on q
Smuggling Expedition.

Her Terrible Experience While on q
Smuggling Expedition.
This tale of heroism displayed by a
young woman engaged in smuggling
contraband goods over the Swiss-ltal-
ian border comes from Geneva: Mile.
Poretti, aged eighteen. and her broth.
er, aged twenty.three, left Swiss terri
tory to cross the Baldisco pass carry.
ing contraband goods into Italy. On
the summit they were overtaken by q
violent snowstorm and were soon in
deep snow. The Porettis roped them
selves, the young man leading. They
lost their way. and while attempting
to find the path Poretti fell through
the snow into crevasse into which he
nearly dragged his sister. The girl,
however, planted her ice Ak in the
snow and withstood the shock.
EARLY the next morning several
smugglers crossing the pass from
Swiss territory into Italian found the
young girl near the ordinary route TAX
en- by smugglers and recognized her at
once, as she belonged to smuggler's
family and lived at Chiatenna. The
smugglers at once drew up the broth
er, but found that he had died during
the thirteen hours his sister had held
him by the rope He had received Sc
we're injuries in the head, and his body
was frozen.
The smugglers carried down the
brave girl, who was almost uncon-
scious, as we'll as the dead body OF her
brother, and notified the Poretti family
at Chiavenna. On reaching the valley
the girl had recovered sufficiently from
her terrible experience to explain that
she and her brother had spoken for
several hours after the accident and at
last he had said that he felt nothing
and wanted to sleep.
"A warm night followed the snow
storm, or two dead bodies would have
been found. Under the great strain
the rope had cut through the girls
clothes and her waist was bleeding
when she was rescued. "-Chicago
News.

confusion therein. He had landed at
Liverpool and fastened out Of the city
to a rural village, where he found a
charmingly old fashioned inn which
delighted his soul. 1t was late when
he arrived, and when he asked what
he could have for supper the buxom
landlady suggested minced collops. He
agreed with enthusiasm, the dish
sounded so romantic. so Robin HOodsy,
so almost medieval. And what do
you suppose they brought him? Just

Bread In Sweden.

In Sweden the bread of the people Is
for the most part hard, thin as a din
ner plate and about the size Of one. 1t
is baked without yeast, and the water
is practically all extracted in the proc
ess of baking: hence, relatively per
pound of bread, its cost Is much high
er than in the common forms Of bread
as we know them, containing one-half
their weight in water that has cost
nothing. Loaf bread and rolls in Swe'
den are a luxury.
