Chivalry is not yet dead, even , In
these days of motor cars. and In
fashionable parades like Hyde Park.

ready to help fair ladies in difficult

closing their names or seeking even a
few words Of gratitude. Not long ago.
says Hyde Park chair keeper, a pret
ty young lady was driving alone when
her horse took fright. A poorly dress
ed man jumped over a fence. pulled
up the animal, and disappeared. The
young lady gave her name to the
chair keeper and told him to tell her
rescuer. il ever he should see him.
that she wished TO thank him One

In the park and delivered the mes
sage; but the latter only replied:
