The bridge is a draw over a ravihe mere than 100 deep. But the draw has been wrecked. In the story it is necessary for Miss Stewart to leap over this brtk- en draw to reach a man who is lying unconscious in the road far beneath her. where the villain has placed q dyn4- mite bomb beneath him. The hhrse. upon which she is mounted at first re- fuses to. make the jump, but she starts again, and spurring it to the utmost speed, rides straight for the BraEen bridge. The horse rises to her spur and makes the jump. But it reaches the op- posite side by such a narrow margin that broken bits of the bridge are kick ed from beneath it's feet into the chaein beneath. This thrilling scene is clearly shown in this picture, which is the story of an untutored girl, who after risking her life for her friends in the mountains goes to the city where she wins laufels for herself.
