aud sleigh with a young man and girl
in the sleigh. The young.man urged his
horse after the runaway, and coming

the reins. It was a hazardouss featsto at
tempt, and resulted disastrously, for
the young man fell out of his sleigh on
to his head and shoulders, and his own
horse ran away. Luckily the young
lady was cool and skillful. She turned
the galloping horse up a steep side street
on to Fore street, and succeeded in pull
