back to the original position. The 
prudent little lady never ventures to 
jump without having a silken cord 
from her spinnerets made fast to the 
place from which she springs. On 
this she can easily swing back if she 
misses her footing. Not only in jump- 
ing, but also in walking, she trails after 
her the delicate, almost invisible thread. 
Often she will stretch her magic tele- 
graph line almost around the garden, 
fastening it to the palings as she hops 
from one to another.
