I do not think there will be any danger for any of us; but it is better to make all ready for the worst." "But, suppose you, with the oxen, wagons, and cows, are surrounded with fire," said Mrs. Duncan. "We will do our best in the emergency. But I hope to gain the hills in safety.

"Physical habit is a wonderful thing. I did not shift hand or foot on the controlling mechanism of the car. Indeed, I dare say it steadied me against the shock to have myself braced to the business of driving.
