She laughed merrily as she conversed with other girl em- ployes, who stood below amazed at her daring. But the girl’s glee soon turned to horror when her hair was drawn around the rapidly revolving shaft, and she was whirled around and around, screaming wildly for help. The girl's cries brought the foreman, who dashed through the crowd of girls as they ran terror-stricken from the mill, Leaping to the electric stop, the foreman pressed the button, and in- stantly the machinery stopped. Burned about the head, bruised on the body and unconscious from fright, Miss Harksbarger was removed. Bhe will recover, a Sarveying in Clearfield.
