Then, just aa tha turn waa reached, there was a startled cry from both the boys. Ahed, blocking- - the dangerous track, a girl on horseback rode complacently toward them. This particular track was so rarely used by pcdestrtahj even, that this was the last thing either one of the boys had thought of encountering. In. the next instant they had recognized her as the new girl in high school, which accounted for her ignorance of the track and Us ways. Harry shouted a- frantic warning They saw her pull her horse up short end they saw him shy at the oncoming sled. It waa no place for a horse ta -- - n f i'jtr shy.

"But there lsn t any sign or anything at the foot of the hill," protested the girl, I in as sorry as I can be that this happened.. But U really wasnt my fault "No it wasn't and you aaved my life and d m certainly grateful." Harry told her, still nursing the foot that bad gotten entangled In the rope.

"My fool's caught in tha rope on that sled the things puljlng ipe down'" Harry shouted excitedly And as he supped helplessly he caught instinctively at a wild grape vine which his struggling had unearthed from its blanket of snow.
