the automobile was moving slowly down the road. Luckily the car was on
a down grade or they never could have managed it. As it was, there was
just time to got out of the way when the great tree came crashing
down, its outermost branches just brushing Amy's skirt. The giant had
fallen on the very spot where the car had been only a moment before!
"Girls," breathed Betty, with a shaky little attempt at a laugh, "I
guess we've never in our lives been nearer death than we were just

And while the girls are marveling at their almost miraculous escape
from a terrible death, time will be taken to introduce the Outdoor
Girls to those readers who have not yet met them and also to review
briefly a few of the exciting and interesting adventures they have had
up to the time of this present narrative.

girls often called her because she had such a decided talent for
knowing just the right thing to do at just the right moment, was
eighteen, dark-haired and dark-eyed.
