HORSE INJURIES
YOUNG SOLDIER
Drags Charles Wander
grift Nearly a Block
on Van Ness.
He Sustains Wounds on
Head, but Surgeons Say
He May Recover.

CHARLES Vandergrift, soldier attached
10 the Eighteenth Field Battery, lies in
precarious condition at the Post Hospital
az the Presidio, with two severe lacera-
lions Of the scalp and a possible fracture
or the skull, due to his horse falling with
him on Van Ness avenue, rising and drag
glng him for nearly block and kicking
him while his right foot was caught in
the stirrup.
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning the
young soldier, riding a spirited horse,
came UP Van Ness avenue from the Pre-
sidio at a hand gallop. AS he neared
Jackson street passing car caused his
horse to swerve and balk. With the ends
of the reins Vandergrift struck the shy
ing animal couple of sharp blows. The
horse broke into a brisk canter, but had
only gone few strides when the slippery
asphalt brought horse and rider heavily
to the ground. The horse fell its right
side, pinning the troopers leg under its
body. The man had barely recovered
from the shock when the horse started to
get on its feet As the weight of the ami
mails body was lifted from the man he
made frantic efforts to reach the stirrup
leather but failed. His right foot was
jammed in the stirrup. The horse, al
ready frightened by his fall, broke into
run, OTdSSlilS the unfortunate man dIlcI
him. The trooper kept his wits about
him wonderfully and made desperate ef-
forts to stop the animal, but the contin-
ued pounding on the unyielding asphalt
soon rendered him unconscious.
An effort was made TO stop the horse at
the corner of Washington street, but the
animal turned quickly down that street
and made for the pavement This turn
brought the mans body directly behind
the horses heels and he lashed out vi
ciously, kicking the unconscious form
again and again and dashing the body
with great force against telegraph post.
The foot came free at last from the stir
rup and the man lay limp on the grass
that edges the sidewalk, his limbs and
face twitching in agony. Blood poured
from wounds at the back of his head be-
low his right eye was cut and confusion.
his clothes were torn and his body
bruised.
DIR. T. L. Mahoney, who resides at 1903
Washington street, was quickly on the
spot and made rapid examination and
found two lacerated wounds of the scalp
and possible fracture of the skull The
doctor bound up the wounds and advised
that he be removed at once to the POST
Hospital at the Preside. This was done
The surgeons at the Post Hospital DO not
think the skull is fractured and stated
later in the afternoon that the man mad
a good fighting chance for life.

GIVE THE ENGINE
A HELPING HAND
Muscle Supplies Power
Where Steam Is
Delinquent.

Had 1t not been for an abundance of
muscle and the good humor of a train
load of passengers, locomotive No. of
the steam line running to the Cliff might
still be stalled somewhere between Cen
trail avenue and the beach. The engine
whether out Of cussedness or incompe-
tency, refused to pull two coaches over
a hill and the passengers, rather than
camp out in darkness and desolation all
night, assisted the train to the summit.
The train was crowded with humanity
when it reached the curve just this side
of the old Italian Cemetery. There it
stopped. The engineer pulled the throt-
tie wide open, but the wheels refused to
revolve. Coal was heaped in the firebox
and the blower put on until the safety
the only motion was when the breaks
were released and the train slid back
down the HILL
Nearly half an hour passed with the
train still stalled. Finally the engineer
appealed for assistance, and the conduc-
tor quietly passed the word that If the
passengers wished any dinner they had
better lend a helping hand. The crowded
cars were quickly emptied Women and
children walked ahead, taking the inabil-
ity of the locomotive to perform its duty
good-naturedly and two lines Of men on
either side Of the train, threw their
strength against the braces. The train
moved slowly forward covering a dis
tance of about 300 yards in fifteen min
utes- Once over the hill the train went
through to the station by gravity. Loco

CHAPTER vi.
On the Tide Top.

The great day Of triumph was over.
Cromwell had entered London at the
head of his victorious army, and the
city was safe and jubilant. Standing
at her mothers side, Jane had wit
messed from a window In the crowded
Strand the glorious pageant of Lib
erty. $685..
And in the midst of this joyful tur-
bulence she had caught sight of her
father and brothers and lover; her
fathers face sternly glad, like the face
of a man who had fought good fight
to assured victory; his sons initiating
his bearing, as we'll as youth could
copy age; and the young lord not far
from them, proud and radiant and
monwealth
AS yet they had not met, nor had
Cluny any certain knowledge Of the
Swaffham's location. Mrs. Swaffham
had learned that Cluny Neville was
personally Objectionable to her hus-
band and sons, and, as she could not
see clearly what road to take, she
very wisely stood still, waiting for
some light and guidance. And 1t
seemed unnecessary to trouble James
heart until there was a positive rea.
son for doing so; yet her depression
and evident disappointment fretted
her mother.

"He seems to have forgotten US; he

Lord Neville until your father and
brothers are satisfied"
