liverymen, did brave act one day
recently, while driving his hack from
the depot. One of his horses started
to run after becoming frightened.
when, in an effort to check it the
rein snapped in two. The hack con
tanned "a young lady. and as a bold
step was necessary to get control of
his team, Mr.. Hardesty leaped from
his seat on the hack to the back of
the excited animal, 10y which act he
checked his runaway team. To make
such jump required a brave heart.

aim might have resulted in serious
