ROYAL HONORS FOR
unknown MAN

CHRISTIANIA, Sept 3.-An I'M
known old man, one OF the victims OF
the recent steamer disaster, was bur
led here with royal honors. Behind
the coffin, which was carried to the
grave on a gun carriage as a special
mark Of respect. walked young wom-
an of great beauty, beside the king's
adjutant.
This Is the story Of the unknown
dead:-A few minutes after the steam
er sank the girl found herself battling
with the waves. Suddenly somebody
grasped her by the arm.
You are young and have everything
TO live for; I am old and alone in this
world said voice, Take this life
preserver and save yourself.
With these words an cid man divest-
! ed himself OF the life preserver he
wore and passed it over the head and
shoulders of the strange girl whom he
saw for the first time In the water.
Two hours later the girl was saved
and related her story. The king gave
immediate orders that the body OF
the hero be-sought for. II was recov-
cred by divers and the girl fully rec
ognized the man who saved her.

Branda the seemingly dead man,
was taken into the emergency ward.
DIR Roberts was working 80 hard on
the case because OF an intuition that
the man was not dead, although he
had failed TO respond to the tests Oh

been justified by hrs -prefes~se I-!Ei-p pros

The hospital attendants caugat the
spirit of the young physician and they
worked over the man for half an hour
with vigorous and sustained energy.
Their efforts were redoubled when
there was a slight flicker of the eye
