bringing the children to town in
car when he learned from the boy
what had happened.
The accident occurred about two
miles from home and as the horse fail
ed to clear the fence, she fell to the
ground and Ivan caught her and rode
her home, informing his paents what
had happened.

stead of going into Mysteries. received
first aid treatment for her injuries
and proceeded to school. II wouldn't
dare stay out" she declared, for 1

ling and to escape with such slight
! injuries is nothing short of miracle.
