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.

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
