The child's head had been crushed when she fell from the foot bridge shown above onto risks in the bed of the creek. The girl’s brother, William, was attracted to tlie spot when lie heard the harking of the girl's pet dog, “lhike,” who stood on the bulk beside her body. William and "Duke” are shown in the lower picture. A pet dog, barking frantically at the edge of Indian creek, Council Bluffs, tried In vain Wednesday to attract the attention of someone who would save the life of Ills small mis tress, Frances Bryant, ti, 11400 West Broadway. The dog's alarm went unheeded for two hours, while the gill lay drowned In two feet of water. Brothers and sisters of the child thought the dog was barking at squirrels. The girl was not missed until she failed to appear for supper at 5:30 p. m. Her mother and her brothers and sisters then searched the grounds about the home, but did not find her until an older brother, William, 15, answered the pet dog's appeal. Dog Pacing Creek Bank. At the edge of the creek below a narrow footbridge he found his sister's body. The dog. ''Duke,'1 a year old Alrdale, was trotting anx iously up and down lha hank, a few feet away, pawing the water ns if In* would swim out to rescue Ids playmate. William called to liis mol tier but they first believed that the body wir* that of a neighbors child. Mrs. Bryant hastened to the neighbor’s home to till of th“ tragedy and tc call aid. When she returned with her neighbor a few mumi'nls later. William had nbeady taken the hotly front the water and discovered it wa*i his own sister. The child hid apparently fallen front the footbridge, 35 feet above the water level, for the head was crush ed when it struck n pile of stones In the river hod. T)r. It.

Burlington Sturts Work on New Track Cradr and Curve Reduction Project Begun Near St. Michael. Kearney. Neb., Sept. 25.—The Bur lington railroad has begun work on a grade and curve reduction project Just east of St. Michael, the object of which is to reduce a 4 per cent curvature in the track at one place and to cut a grade slope In two in another. Forty years ago when tin* railroad was built 40 cars was a maxi mum load on a road which now re quire* 100 nr more, making hauling troublesome arounM curves. The divide between the South I,oup river east of St. Michael and the Platte valley west of t’airo formed an engineering problem when the road was built, and the skirting of a 100 foot sand bluff was another. The divide was crossed with a series of sharp inclines which hamper freight traffic today, while the bridge which was built across a bayou east of the bluff has been so Ailed in by tliift ing sand as to give only a four-foot passageway for flood waters. The plans provide fur a road 400 or .'»00 feet north of the present track and to build a bridge with a higher grade which will place it at least nin« feet above the present structure.

The clever old rascal had simply taken advantage of opportunity. You remember that lie had been playing dead. But all the time that he was playing dead ho was watching and hoping for an opportunity to escape. Every minute of that time he was ready to make the most of the first opportunity he might have. When Bowser had whinned at hit. first glimpse of Reddy Fox the sharp eyes of I'nr' Billy Possum had open ed. lie had watched Bowser stand up ami look over toward the barn. The very instant that Bowser started He was Just In time t*> see Keddv Fox raring past. off toward the barn Unc. Billy had rolled over on to his feet. He had waited only long enough to make sure that Bowser wasn't going to turn back. Then Inc* Billy had taken to his heels. This was the chance he had hoped for. Where to go? That was the ques tion vviih I'm’ Billy. Him first thought was to climb 1 lie nearest tree. There he would be safe from Bowser the Hound. But he wouldn’t l»c safe from Farmer Brown's Boy. I'm Billy made for the neatest Black Shadow, which happened to he cion to the back porch of Farmer Brown's house. As he ran he wvfn using his eves. He discovered s hole under the hack porch. It whs a hoi# that Black Pussy the Cat often used. I'm' Billy once more saw opportunity and made the most of It. He crawled In under that porch. That hoi# was just big enough for him to get through. Then he turned around and peeped out to see what was happening. H# was just in time to see Keddv Fox race past. H# noticed tha.t Reddy had come straight to the place where he, Unc’ Billy, had been lying in the moonlight. Unc’ Billy began to chuckle. Tie understood now just what had hap pened. He guessed that Reddy Fox had seen him there and had led Bowser a wa v so as to get a chance to gel him fur himself ' Brer Fox did me a good turn that time,” chuckled Unc’ Billy.- Yes. ■Uh, Brer Fox did me a good turn that time He give me mah chance to get away. This Is a funny ol world. People do other people good turns without knovvin' it. Mah good* ness, but **- oert'nly have had an excitin' nighl!" , ^ Of coui ac, farmer Brown'sHoy looked everywhere for I nc' Hilly Pos IURI. The firat thing he did was to look lit the nearest tree. Then he looked in other trees. H* tried lo get Bowser lo find I'm" Hill’s scent and follow it. But Bowser could smell nothing but Keddy Pox. You see Reddy had run right over the trail of I nc' Rilly. And so at last Parmer Brown's Boy and Bowaer had to give It tip. Parmer Brown’s Boy didn t feel badly. The fact is, he was greatly tickled: 'The clever old rascal,'' he kept saving over and over. The clever old rascal. He certainly de served to get away. But 1 would like to know where he went to."
