She saw the danger and deter- mined to stop the horse, Jumping into the street, she caught the horse by the bridle and hung on. The horse carried the young woman off her feet, and in the struggle stepped on her foot, crushing it.- But the girl hung on to the bridle, and in a few moments brought the horse to a standstill. The excitement kept Miss Bowen up until she reached her home, and then she went to bed to nurse her injured foot, and she is still confined to her bed. The young heroine positively de- clined to discuss the matter to-day. She made light of her injuries, saying that they would heal easily, and both she and her family refused to give the name of the woman who was rescued upon the ground that the rescued woman did not éven know that Miss Bowen was injured in the affair.

The bone of the front of the | skull was fractured in many directions, | and some of the splinters were forced ix ward upon the brain.

She loves me, and she will never love any one else. My death will break her heart.” “Hearts of women are not so easily broken,” sald Harbor, in another effort to_cheer him. Then, as Sodan became exhausted, Har- bor bent his head and listened to the far well message of the \\)‘lnt man. It was a message to Miss Mabel Lowry, to whom Sodan had been engaged in Kansas. »she had a few weeks before written to her lover that she would jofn him in the Pkil- . and Sodan was expecting her to arrive within a few day That night the brave Kansan died, and for eleven months Harbor lay between life and death in the hospital at Manila.
