TRUE STORY OF HEROIC WORK
OF LIVING FIRE ENGINES.
Thrilling Incident OF Railway
Wreck In Which Circus Ele-
plants Played the
Star Parts.

In all time, probably, a human life
has never been saved by animals more
extraordinary, or in fashion more
unlooked-for, than recently at place
some few miles beyond Morgantown,
in Virginia.
There had been collision on the
line. A pile of wreckage from which the
smoke curled ominously marked all that
was left of goods train belonging to
the Baltimore & Ohio railway. A
group of officials was gathered at one
end of the debris. Beneath piles Of
broken timber the driver lay impris-
oned, but unhurt. But the train was
on fire, and the flames crept ever
nearer the unfortunate man. Desper-
ately the officials strove to shift the
heavy beams, till the perspiration
poured from their faces.
Hope had almost died when another
train arrived. In few words the
guard told of the fearful death await
ing the driver of the wrecked en-
CINE. Passengers descended from the
carriages and FASTENED to the spot
Then a transformation came over the
scene. Hope grew in every heart and
voices shouted encouragement to the
imprisoned man.
AT the farther end of the train that
had recently arrived strange sight
was being presented. A huge elephant,
following the command of its trainer,
clambered clumsily down from van
on to the track. This elephant, the
trainer explained to curious passen.
gers, was Bacil whom rumor credited
as the mother of Jumbo. Moreover,
she was 200 years of age.
| Then from other vans-for by a
strange fortune the train happened to
be bearing the stock and impedimenta
of travelling circus-eight more ele.
plants were detrained.
! Leading Bacil to the spot where the
driver lay imprisoned, the trainer CON-
manded her to remove the heavy tim.
bers. With infinite caution, stepping
warily over smouldering beams, Bacil
wound her trunk around one huge
rafter, raised it. and laid it some
yards aside. Then, returning, piece
by piece she CALAMITY accomplished
her task.
But still the fire was creeping nearer
and nearer to the helpless driver. No
doubt he was aware that frantic eff
forts were being made to save him.
Yet by what means remained mys-
terry.
A cry arose for water. Bacil had
nobly borne away even charred and
smoking beam. But now. unless water

the JOY of the painter, and the despair
of the architect, and the wonder of
every man, has been reconstructed.
Not in all its former greatness, dan
ger and squalor, bearing across the
Thames thousands of people every
day, but in a model nine feet long
just one-hundredth of the original
size.
In this model, however, made for
the Anglo-French exhibition, are the
innumerable old types of houses.
chapels and towers. The stone starl-
ings are there with the tide-water
backing up against them. The narrow
thorougAfare is represented with its
overhanging tenements and pin-mak-
crs' shops. Even the gibbets and the
ghastly heads stuck on poles above
the Southwark Gate-all that made
the old bridge the breeding place Of
romance and horror, live once more.
Old London bridge was the very
epitome of human life, interviewer
with all the joys and sorrows, the
lights and the shadows of the city.

OLD LONDON BRIDGE

found that they could never draw a.
true picture of London without putting
in Old London bridge"
Crowded as the bridge was with
buildings of every date and descrip-
ton, 1t seems strange to first thought
that more historical personages should
not have lived upon Ii. Buildings not
occupied by the very poorest class Of
people were used by tradesmen, most
ly as pin and needle shops. Only
few men known to fame lived upon (
this strangest of all bridges.
Among them was Hans Holbein, the
great painter of the court of Henry
VIII; Peter Monamy, the marine paint
er who died in 1749 and who, in his
youth, was humble apprentice to a
sign painter whose shop was on the
bridge; Crispin.N friend of Pope and
Swift, bookseller and a. great wag,
who had tumbledown, bow-windowed
little shop under the south gate.
In this same shop Hogarth, the
great, lived in his youth. and there he
doubtless saw the thousand and one
aspects of life which made his pic
lures the index of the times. The IT,
tle-page of that queer old Cookers
Dictionary" bears the words: Print
ed for T. Norris, at the Looking Glass
on London Bridge"
Then there was a Mr.. Baldwin. q
haberdasher, who had shop over the
chapel in the middle arch. At the age
OF II he was ordered to- go to the
Co.. l,i X
sleep; he missed the noise of the wa
ter rushing beneath the bridge This
rumble of the water is often men,
toned In the contemporary plays as
being heard at times over the whole
city. 1t was caused by the narroWness
of the arches, the water at mid-tide
backing up against the starlings so
high that a veritable waterfall was
made beneath, and the river came
tumbling and boiling through the
other side, the terror of the water
men.
The great London fire of 1866
burned many of the houses. In 1716.
the Thames, after drought and a
gale, went dry for "a hours, so that
people crossed on the river bed on
both sides of the bridge. Many valu-
able curiosities were picked up that
day. In 1875 fire at Southwark Gate
ended the exposure of heads.
In 1857 the bridge was becoming
very dangerous, The narrow lane be-
tween the rows of pin-shops was dark
as night and unwholesome, while
arches of timber had to be placed
across to keep the tenements from
falling upon one another. George II.
ordered the houses removed, work
which was completed in 1860. Three
pots of Elizabethan money were found
! in some ruins.

There is good American blood in the
young baron. His mother was Miss
Antoinette Polk of Tennessee, a niece
Of President James X. Polk. After the
civil war Mrs. Polk took her two
daughters, Antoinette and Rebecca
and her son, Van Leer Polk, to Italy
to live. 1t was In Rome that Antoi
nette Polk met Baron de Charette
then serving at the vatican. The i'm
questionable Italians had already
hailed the fair American as the most
beautiful woman who had ever come
to their shores, and the Baron de
Charette agreed with them. He laid
siege to Miss Folks heart, wor her
and brought her home to Paris as his
bride.

If she were princess-but then
Gladys Deacon was to the manner
born. She was at home in Mayfair
as she was in Inter den Linden. In
winter she became the bright, partic
ular star along the Riviera and in
Italy thoroughly cosmopolitan grew the
beautiful American girl, who spoke
with a strong French accent and
frankly admitted that she hardly
knew anything about the United
States, though she was American to
the core.
Europe found everything to admire
in the beautiful girl fresh from the
convent
Gladys Deacon is the ideal Anglo
Saxon type in face and coloring. Her
mass of hair is the palest fiaxen, and
it waves naturally. Her eyes are large
rather long than round, and deep VIC
let blue. Her eyebrows are almost
black. very narrow and exquisitely
arched. Her eyelashes are black as
we'll and long and sweeping.
Miss Deacon's face is almost classic
in it's oval, the brow slightly broader
and higher than the standard of the
Greeks, denoting to some extent the
intellectually of this foreign-born
American girl. Her wit and vivacity
would have made her woman of note
even without the charming loneliness
with which nature has so lavishly en-
dowed her.
Her skin is fair, very white and al
most transparent. There is almost no
coloring in her cheeks, yet she bushes
beautifully when she is interested. But
her lips are of that brilliant red which
no cosmetic save perfect health can
give. Her nose is pure Greek; her
mouth a Cupids bow. The chin is
strong and firm Her teeth are
dazzling.
She speaks French. German and
italian with equal huency, and her
Partisan accent when she speaks Eng
lish is altogether charming. Her
taste in dress is undeniable; she al
ways appears in the masterpieces OF
the French modlstes. She is perfect
dancer. a rafting good hand at bridge
and she can play billiards with the
best of the men.
