ace found that it was beating faintly.
Calling for water, she dashed it in the woman's face, without any
noticeable results.
By this time a crowd had collected and several men were busy with the
chauffeur, who was conscious, but moaned as though in pain.
"Do go for a doctor, please," Grace cried to her chums. "I am afraid
this woman is badly hurt."
"Here's Dr. Gale now," exclaimed Anne as the old doctor came hurrying
across the street.
"Hello, what's the matter here?" he called. "It's a good thing I
happened to be driving by."
"Oh, Dr. Gale, do look at this poor woman. She must have struck her
head, for she lies as though she were dead."
Kneeling beside the stranger, the doctor busied himself with her, and
after a little time the woman opened her eyes and gazed vaguely about,
then again relapsed into unconsciousness.
"Whom does she resemble?" thought Grace. "Her face has a familiar look,
though I am sure I have never before seen her."
"Stand back and give her air," ordered the doctor, and the circling

longer. We've had excitement enough for one day."
"I should say so," shuddered Jessica. "I hope that woman doesn't die. We
must go to the hospital to-morrow and inquire for her."
"Of course," responded Anne. "What a sweet face she had, and her eyes
were such a beautiful brown, but they haunted me. There is something so
familiar about them."
"Why, that's just what I thought, too!" cried Grace. "Who is it she
resembles?"
"Give it up," said Nora. "Although I noticed it, too."
Jessica alone made no remark. Her face wore a puzzled frown, as though
she were searching her memory for something.
"Oh, well, what's the use of worrying over a resemblance," said Nora. "I
wonder what days visitors are allowed at the hospital."
"By the way, Jessica," said Anne, "wher
