AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Goodness and Courage of n Woman Proven
Serious Hesnlta.

New York, March 2s.-The cool head
and prompt, steady nerve of Mrs.
Almeric Hugh Paget, daughter of ex-
Secretary of the Navy William C.whit-
ney. were called into action last even
ing. They doubtless saved her life. She
was the only occupant OF an open car
rage In a thrilling runaway. in which
footman was seriously injured.
Mrs. Paget was being driven in an
open Victoria, drawn by two chestnut
horses. The horses were going at
lively pace up Fifth avenue when thew
started to run. The coachman, Patrick
Cockbourne, pulled on the reins. but be-
fore he graspcd the situation the horses
were thoroughly frightened
Crazed with terror. they snatched the
reins from the coachman's hands and
tore up the avenue. while horror-strlck-
en- crowds gather along the walks, ex-
pectlng disaster at every corner
At East Sixty-second street n truck
was standing. 1t was narrowly avoid
ed as the horses turned east Cock

animals were beyond his control. The

Mrs. Paget, grasping It, threw her full
strength forward to hold the horses.
At Fourth avenue n collision between
the Victoria and a cable car was mar
rowly averted, and n similar escape at
Third avenue was really miraculous.
Just beyond Third avenue the Vic
toria struck n truck and turned almost
over.
Mrs. Paget half fell, but pluckily held
her grip on the reins. At Second avenue
the united strength of Mrs. Paget and
the coachman checked the horses, and
by the help of policeman they were
stopped. Mrs. Paget, pale, but cool and
self possessed, alighted from the Vic
toria as easily as II returning from a
pleasant afternoons ride.
John d. Crimmans, the contractor
who was experimenting work near by
ran to Mrs. Paget's assistance. She
shook Mr. Crimmans's arm and said:
