what becomes of the f1refiies when

blood was forced into the lower

tors thought at first that the little
FREELY girl must surely die. But
after months of lying quietly on her
back in hospital cot~that danger is
past. The FREELY girl won't die
provided she never tries to dance

Her case contains a lesson for all
