heard Of or seen the glen.
What brought the young man to tho
creek and the bridge that afternoon
was lonesomeness, . desire to get OF
by himself And think thinks.
Reaching the crest Of the hill, the

very rare and novel about Q glen. The
sight Of an elephant beats II three to

Miss Louise had been sitting on q
rock feeding half.tamed squirrel. She
had heard the rustic OF the bushes
and knew that an intruder ap.

truder to himself after making about
three feet Of progress along the plank.
Mr.. Stanley dared not attempt to

still and shivered. He could feel the
plank giving beneath his weight and
held his breath. Miss Louise at last
opened her lips to say something, but
closed them again without uttering .
sound.
There was way out Of the glen by
the rear. but II was . dimcult one.
She took It, however. and was de.

plank and the shout the young man
uttered a. he went down.
Two hundred feet below. the glen
the creek emerged on level ground;
Miss Louise was there when human
body came drying down With not one
chance in ten that there was any life
left In 1t. She seized II and drew II
ashore. and after regarding It for

shout to the gardner.
