HER HERO WAS ON HAND.
Miss Golder's Rescue by Her Lover
Strange Example of Destiny.

Strange Example of Destiny.
London Telegraph.
In real life it is unfortunately rare for
lovers to have the opportunity of proving
their heroism by rescuing their sweethearts
from imminent death, although this sort of
thing Is the veriest commonplace among
writer's of fiction. What, however, is still
more uncommon is that any event should
occur remotely resembling the very pic
turesQue tale of Miss Jessie Colder of
Kingston and Mr.. Cobb, the lighterman;
and it is therefore we'll TO chronicle them
when destiny is good enough to send them
in our way. Mr.. Cobb, it seems. had

Gus feeling; but. unhappiiy for myself.
Miss Colder took them quite seriously. In
consequence she suffered so much mental
anguish that late one evening she rushed
out Of a friends house to the bank of the
river and threw herself into the water. 1t
happened, by an extraordinary coincidence.

he was. indeed, sitting III his cabin, when he
heard some one screaming for help. With
out any hesitation he rushed along the bank

the life of the drowning girl when she was
going down for the third time" Not till
then did he discover that the woman he had

Arraigned at the police court for at
tempted suicide. Jessie Colder had the
supreme pleasure of seeing her rescuer
come forward and express his willing
ness to go through the marriage ceremony.
And, as it is clearly against public
policy for magistrates TO interfere with
contemplated matrimonial arrangements,
the too proclpttate but now oveTjoyed Miss
Colder was dismissed with cautIoE-anti
with Mr.. Cobb. As an example of fate's
eccentricitieS the tale deserves to take rank
as leading case" The chances againft
the lover being at that part of the river just
at the right moment for the rescue were
simply enormous. In order to bring about
the happy ending his tug had to be anchored
Just at that one spot in the whole river; he
himself had to he in the cabin instead of on
shore; Miss Colder had TO select exactly
the right part of the bank, and TO scream
Just loud enough, and nobody else near

hoods took place. and now. instead of

gained something which he no doubt.
values considerably more. When destiny
makes a match IN this way who will dare TO
step in and forbid the banns?

Hitherto--eXeept on special occasions
this country has only been represented bv
ambassadors in six European realms-the
empires of Austria, Turkey, Russia and
Germany. the kingdom of Italy, and i'm.

quarter OF century ago there were only
four British embassies abroad, although the
United Kingdom was. of course, diplamati-
cally represented at every foreign court 1t
was not until the unifcation and cnnso.ida-
ton OF Germany had been completed by
William l OF Prussia that our Legation
in Berlin became an Embassy. The
achievement of Italian unity under Vic
tor Emmanuel suggested and obtained a
similar complimentary acknowledgment on
the part OF any gracious sovereign. 1t is
unquestionably a iudiclous and popular
new departure" to emphasize, so to speak,
the amieable nature of the relations happily
obtaining between the two great English
speaking nations by placing our official
representation in the capital of the Union
upon the highest attainable footing of diplo-
matte dignity and distinction. An Embas-
sador. as the personal representative OF his
own sovereign, has the right of access TO

he is accredited-a privilege which cannot
BIO claimed by. although IL is frequently ac-
corded to a Minister Plenipotenliary or
