A French Heroine.

Noyon's heroine is a French servant
girl. A common sewer of great depth
had been opened for repairs, and four
men, passing that way in the dark, fell
in. 1t was not until midnight that
their perilous situation became known
The poor wretches were already suffo-
eating from poisonous vapor; their moan
ings were heard, and their wives and
children, frantic with grief, besought
the bystanders for aid; but among all
the stalwart men who gathered around
the hole, there was not one brave enough
to 80 down and rescue his fellow-crea-
lures. Then it was that Catherine Vas
seur, lass of II, volunteered to descend
into the pit. She was lowered into the
sewer, where she fastened rope around
two of the men, and assisted by those
above, she had the happiness of restor-
ing them to their wives and children.
Again she descended, and fastened the
rope around the body of the third man,
but her breath began to fail her. Faint
ing from foul air and exhaustion, she
had sufficient presence OF mind to knot
the end with her own luxuriant tresses,
so that when the dastardly fellows above
drew the man to the surface, they found
the all but inanimate body of the young
girl swinging by the Hair to the end of
the rope. Fresh air and stimulants re-
stored her to consciousness, but not in
time to save the fourth man, who perish
ed in the pit.

Bob SteWart's Gratitude.
ST. LOuis Times.

Probably the oldest genius who ever
occupied public position in Missouri,
was the late Robert NJ. Stewart. He
lived in St. Joseph where he rose in po-
litical power The first President Of the
Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad, he was
often called its father He was elected
Governor in 1857.
When Donahan's expedition was or
ganized to go through Mexico and coop
crate with the main United States army
In 1917, Bob Stewart was a member of
company raised in Buchanan county
-Four day out his gun was accidentally
discharged, the contents entering one of
his legs, shattering bone and disabling
him. One of the company, William
Grover, was detailed to remain with
Stewart Grover watched over his COM
rade with the care of brother, and
Stewart, not then dreaming of the dis
tmction that awaited him, said:
Bill, old fellow, I'll pay you back for
this care some day. The time is com
ing"
Ten years later Bill Grover, the friend
Of Stewart, was arrested as partici-
pant in political crime, tried, convict
ed and sentenced to the penitentiarv for
ten years Not long after his conyic-
tion. Stewart was nominated for Cover
nor He saw his friend just before he
was incarcerated, and said:
Bill, the first thing | do after I'm in
augurated will be to pardon you out
And I'm sure to be elected"
Bob was elected and inaugurated.
True to his word and the native instincts
of gratitude, he went to the penitentia-
ry and inquired for Bill Grover. He
was not there He was one of detail
called out to dig we'll in Jefferson
City, and was then engaged in that
work
Off the Governor posted to the well
in which Grover was at work On reach
ing the place, he leaned over the well
and cried out:
Bill are you there?"
who's that?" asked voice from the
subterranean depths below.
Its me-Bob Stewart! Come up
out o there, d-n you! I've pardon
ed you"
In a few moments Grover was hauled
up out of the well. Then was exhibit
ed the curious spectacle Of the Govern
or of great State walking through the
streets of the capital arm-in-arm with a
striped-suit convict He took his old
friend up to Il clothing store, rigged him
up in new suit and made him guest
at the Governors mansion, afterward
providing him 4 start in business

vented him from doing, and the cool
Professor, with his shoulder still in the
grip of the monsters jaws, struggled to
his feet and with his right hand so held
the bit as to prevent as far as possible
the successful working of the horses
jaws. The crowd was intensely excited.
Mr.. Wooden siezed long pole and pok
ing it between the halter and the horses
lower jaw, still further retarded the
biting The friends of Tapp called for
a gun, but there was no gun, and, what
is remarkable in collection of 200 Cal
ifornians, no one had revolver, or The
murderous brute would have been shot
dead instantly. The horse and Tapp
continued fighting half way around the
ring, Wooden, on the seats outside, still
hampering the formers efforts with the
pole. The spectators on the front seats
also did all they could to distract the
man eaters attention, one lady seizing
the crutch of man sitting near her and
beating the horse over the head with it.
By the aid Of these distractions, Tapp
was enabled, by degrees, to draw his arm
through the horses jaws, the horse
chewing it as it slipped away from him,
until finally it was entirely withdrawn.
The crowd shouted to Tapp to jump for
his life, but the plucky trainer called
for his whip, and, with his mangled left
arm dangling by his side, so tickled the
fetlocks of Cogniac that that cnterpris-
ing animal was again in what Tapp fond
ly calls subsection. Last evening the
trainer was in the stable Office with
friend pouring an odorous liniment over
his bandaged arm, and the man-eater,
with all his evil passions inhamed with
the taste of blood, was romping around
his prison and eagerly reaching up for
mouthful of any timid spectator that
yentured near enough to look down at
him. The people will continue to look
forward with interest to the solution Of
the problem of whether Tapp will tame
the man-eater or the man-eater tame
Tapp.
