Iovr G,rrgRs AND SAusAGEs-About hundred
years ago young lady of Amsterdam named Wil-
hemina Terscheling riding on horseback through
the VILLAGE OF Boxmeer when her horse became fright
eucd and ran away with her. The young man who
accompanied her. and to whom she was betrothed,
cried out that he would give hundred ducas 10 any
ore that would stop the horse.
The young villagers who were playing ball upon
the green near by, seeing woman In danger, threw
themselves before the furious animal One OF them
was thrown down and wounded two others received
Commissions; the horse fell and the.beauttul Wilhel-
nina relied in the dust. A young man who was pass
ng threw Immediately his cloak over the lady before
any one else had time to perceive hneIy-turned leg
and pretty garter.
Mademoiselle Terscbeling, on being carried home,
had time to reflect and the result OF her reecaons
was that there must never be two men IN the worii
WHO had seen her garter. She sent for her beIohed
and said, "WIl you kill the man who threw his
cloak over me !" :.
