SALESLADY HAS LIMBS^ FROZEN WHEN HER MACHINE BECAMS STALLED NEAR HEBRON # ti Miss Marie E. Quigley of Harvard, who travels over a certain McHenry county territory as a saleslady for J. C. Thiee $ Co., wholesale candy distributors of this city, had both of her lower limbs frozen from the ankles to her knees while on her way from Harvard to this city last Saturday morning. Riding in a Ford coupe, in which she covers the territory that has been given her, she was forced to stop her machine about three miles from Hebron when she was unable to get thru because of the fact that two cars ahead of her had become stalled. In stopping her own machine she, too, be came stalled and while attempting to extricate herself her feet and lower limbs became numb. She walked to the nearest farm house, about a mile distance, where it was found that she had suffered greatly from the cold. A Hebron physician Was called into attendance and that evening the young woman was taken to Harvard by rail and since has been at the home of Dr. C. C. Pack in the latter named city. 1 Reports from Harvard are to the effect that the young lady is getting along very nicely, altho it will prob ably be another two or three weeks before she will be able to resume her work- Miss Quigley has been employed by the McHenry concern for about three years, during which time she has proven herself a most valued employe. As has been her cudtom to report to the company here at McHenry every Saturday, she was on her way to |his. city at the time she suffered the painful experience.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 19 Harry -INr<; He Miracle Baby m 'It's a Real Western AND THE COMEDY "LET HER RUN" SUNDAY MATINEE AT 2»» 'j k~'~ (Continued from page four) MY STRANGE VISIT I had looked forward to my visit with my friend, Miss Wilkins, for many days. On the night before leaving home I received a note from her, telling me that it would be impossible for her to be home when I arrived, so she had sent me the key •nd full instructions how to reach her home. It was rpining when I left the train. At my first chance I hailed a taxi, informed the driver where I wished to go and left it to him to leave me at the desired place. v . It was about six o'clock 'when \ reached her home; quickly paying the driver I ran up to the house and with no trouble admitting myself. I immediately took my parcels upstairs to the room she hid informed me I was to occupy. I was very much surprised to find the room in an unkept condition. Louise was always very neat. I had been upstairs about fifteen minutes when I became aware of noises downstairs. It coi|ld not be Louise. It was yet only a little after six. I listened intently. The noise was mysterious and uncanny. Unmistakably it was the clink of silverware. I had read much about the robberies of Chicago and instantly it flashed in my mind that the house was being robbed. I stood motionless, I cotyld think of nothing. What should I dot was . helpless. I finally drew up enough courage to creep carefully down the stairs until I was able to see the dining room. My suspicions were Correct. There at the sideboard stood man fumbling with, the silverware. He picked up each pioce, looked at it carefully, then laid it on the table. As he turned to the table I caught i glimpse of his face. The sight of it 1 lightened me more than the fact that the house was being robbed. He seemed very old; his small eyes were sunk far in his head; his tousled hair hung down over his face to his shaggy eyebrows. The expression on his face was one of cruelty. He seemed perfectly at ease. I could not help wondering at the daring of such an aged person. 1, watched jMs stealthy actions for what seemed to me to be hours. I finally decided to return up stairs td my room. My head seemed to whirl. could not collect my thoughts. If I could only get help in some way. I gated distracted!f out of the window. I almost cried aloud as my eyes fell of the telephone wires leading to the house. Here was some help at least. It might have seemed foolish to become excited at such a thing, but t seemed to me that those two wires (tvould save me. My happiness decreased quite a little when I discovered the telephone was downstairs. iBut I still had some hope. Quietly I groped my way down the stairs to my former position. I searched in every direction with my eyes, hoping to see the telephone, (finally I found it, directly opposite the sideboard in the dining room. My liopes were immediately realized when the man said, "Now for the bag, I left it on the porch," and left the room, thru the kitchen. Quickly and quietly t descended the stairs and started for the telephone. ($o to continued) ;sf y Pamela RietsseL.
