Crossing a Deep River.

A grizzly bear hidden among the
haystacks back Of the corral would

than De Spain secreted in the heart
Of the Morgan stronghold. Her

the second day she found herself de-
Gliding conscientiously to see De Spain
for the last time, and toward sunset.
She began dressing early for her trip,
pcl,ing the best of her limited stock
of silk stockings, choosing the freshest
OF her few pairs of tan boots. All OF
her riding skirts locked shabby as she
fretfully inspected them; but Bonita
pressed out the newest one for the
hurried occasion, while Nan used the
interval, with more than usual care,
on her troublesome hnlr--ncver less
tractable, 1t seemed, in her life.
De Spain was sitting with his back
against rock and the look on his
face was one of reflection and irrcso.

to accident four miles from this city
yesterday. Two of the three girls
were hurt. Billy Vivian had one of
her arms badly injured. Peggy Kemp

out injury and walked to Rochester
to summon help. The girls were
riding in Ford, accompanied by
.hree young men of Rochester, Jack
Meyers, Walter Olson and N. Mercer
Boys were also hurt, and there were
y number of broken ribs among the
male trio. Not one of the three was
nble to give the girls any substan-
tial help, and practically nothing was
lone for them until the arrival OF
he rescuers, who were summoned by
Miss Began.
