Presence Of mind in case OF danger
is rare attribute, and is usually
accompanied by extreme quickness
TO appreciate all points in a situation.
Perhaps the most remarkable in
stance OF GOODNESS under danger and
whereby danger was averted. Is told
OF the earl OF Berkeley. who was
aroused in his carriage by highway
man. who suddenly presented a pistol
az his head aud demanded his money.
at the same time remarking that he
had heard his lordship boast that no
single highwaymsn would ever be
able 20 rob him. but he was now TO
be taught differently. His lordship
put his hand in his pocket and coolly
replied. Neither should I now be
robbed we're it not for that fellow
looking over your shoulder The
highwayman involuntarily turned
his head. and that instant Lord
Berkeley shot him, so that he was
az once unable TO do any damage
Few men would have thought quick
~ enough to get themselves out Of
such dangerous position as this.
