A Ride With Death 99 Hello everybody:. Billard of La - . . Salle, 111., 7V is todays Distinguished Adventurer, and she wins that distinction as well as the well known ten bucks with one of the most terrifying yarns Ive seen in a long time. It happened in 1913, when Mrs. Billard was Miss Mary Blanch, a girl of twelve, and Mary says, The La Salle papers called me a heroine at the time, and it was all quite e'xciting for a girl of my age, but it lost its thrill when I thought of my mother lying in a hospital in a critical condition, fighting the dangers of gangrene and lockjaw. You can see from that statement of Marys that the.re was tragedy in that episode as well as .adventure. And it started with nothing but a common, ordinary buggy ride. There werent so many automobiles in those days, and most of the streets were mere unpaved dirt roads. . Marys dad had bought a horse that had spent all its life on race tracks and was hard to handle when hitched to a buggy. It had run away twice, and Marys mother didnt drive it any . oftener than she had to. . . But there came a day when she felt she . HAD to drive that horse.

Marys teacher was coming back with her that evening, so Mother hitched up the horse and started out to get them. Mother hadnt been feeling well all that day, but she made the "trip to the schoolhouse without any trouble. They were all on their way to town, with Mary in the middle between her mother and the teacher, when, without warning, Mary felt her mother fall away from her. Mary Looked Around and Saw Her Mother. . She looked around just in time to see Mother topple from the seat and pitch headlong into the road. She had fainted. But that was only the beginning of a disastrous train of events. , Mother had fallen out with the lines still clutched in her hands. The sudden jerk on those reins, caused by her falling, frightened the horse. It gave a leap forward. And with that leap," says Mary, there started the fastest ride I had ever remembered in all my 12 years. We were horrified at the situation. The horse was plunging along at a full gallop, and my mother was being dragged face downward over fighting the Bolsheviks, and news dispatches of the last few weeks have hinted that he has been considerably embarrassed at being drawn into the new apparently broken fellowship with Russia. It has been clear that being saved by Russia was the least and last of his ideas. He is beyond doubt the ablest of Polands military leaders, and, once the bell rings, there is no question that he can and will fight, as he proved in the campaigns to free Poland and in his forays against early-da- y Bolshevik Russia. He never has quite come through as a dictator. In 1936 there was one of those ideological" build-up- s in which he was to emerge as the head of reconstructed Poland. Handsome and imposing, of dominant bearing, he looked the part, but he couldnt seem to manage the big talk necessary for the job. The best they could get out of him was something to the general effect that nobody would ever be allowed to take a single button from Polands robe. On August 6 of this year, when it appeared that Germany might just take the robe and leave the button, he was expected to make a sizzling speech at Cracow. His audience was howling for a knockout punch, but the speech was mostly shadow-boxinwith nothing specific .about what he proposed to do about Danzig. Fifty-fou- r years old, with an engaging personality, he has been a popular dinner guest and holds the honorary presidency of the Polish academy of letters. The old Marshal Joseph Pilsud-sk- i, nearing the end of his life, anointed the general as his successor. He has been supremely efficient in his army job, but, as a strong man, has been somewhat overshadowed by the showier, more facile and adroit Josef Beck, the foreign minister. But fighting is his main business and knowing observers figure that, talking little, he is more apt to fight. g, - I pulled and jerked at the reins until I brought the horse to a stop. stones and gravel, in a way that struck terror into my heart, teacher and I were helpless. We called and screamed to mother, pleading with her to let go of the lines, but all our screaming was useless, for mother was in an unconscious condition, clinging to those reins with a death grip while the horse dragged her along. And, for half a mile, mother dragged along beside the reeling wagon, in imminent danger of rolling under the wheels, while up in the seat Mary and the teacher sat paralyzed with fear, trying to hang on to the swaying, reeling buggy. Mary says that buggy was running on two wheels a good part of the time. 'And at other times it seemed to be flying through the air, with nothing under the wheels at all. Several men along the road had tried to stop the horse, but couldn't do anything with the crazed animal. At last, at the end of a half a mile, mothers hands loosened on the reins and the lines were free. They got between the horses front legs, and that only served to frighten the poor animal more. The Careening Carriage Flew Down the Road. Still the reeling, careening carriage flew on. They had covered more than a mile, and now they were within a short distance of a narrow culvert, just outside of the business section of La Salle. There were pillars on either side of it, and it would be a miracle if the crazed horse got through that cramped space without wrecking the buggy. The teacher was the first one. to think of that culvert. She screamed to Mary that if the horse couldnt be stopped before they reached it they would both be killed. And with her voice still ringing in my ears," says Mary, she rose to her feet, stood on them for a moment on the swaying floor of the buggy and jumped! I shut my eyes as I heard her body hit the road, and thought that surely she must have been killed. And now, Mary was left alone, in that speeding buggy. She knew that, somehow, she had to get hold of those reins that were dragging down there beneath the horses feet. Just a little way ahead, now, was the culvert. And even if the buggy did get through the culvert, it was certain to crash into something in the business district two blocks beyond. So, while the buggy reeled and swayed, Mary began climbing over the dashboard, onto the horses back. It was a desperate chance. Time and again Mary almost lost her hold in that precarious trip. The horse was slippery with foam and perspiration, and only by bracing her feet against the shaft did she manage to keep from being thrown into the road. I reached the horses head," she says, and the feel of my body on her seemed to frighten her all the more, and make her go faster than ever. But I got the lines from between her legs and started inching my way back to the buggy." , I pulled and jerked at the reins until - brought the horse to a halt, she says, and it stopped just a few feet in front of the dreaded culvert. A boy ran up to hold the animal, and I left the buggy and ran into town to get a doctor for mother. She was still unconscious when they brought her in, and to this day she carries, on the right side of her face, the terrible marks of that horrifying experience. Mary says shes glad the horse and buggy days are over because well because she wouldnt want any of her children to have such an experience.
