side , which had grown to a great
height. Shortly after noon n sister

she was followed by the little girl ,
unbeknown to anyone. She secreted

llttlo realizing the great danger that
the approaching mower meant to her.
Thu brother did not see her and
did not know she was In the vicinity
until she screamed when the mower
struck her. Kho foil forward on hot-

plug the mower before the sickle

the mangled condition of the llesh
had caused the severed artery to con
tract quickly nnd there was very llt
tlo loss of blood and not much pain.

for her , and ho hopes that she may
recover without having a stiff ankle ,
but the chances are that she will bo
troubled the remainder of her life.
