started to run at break-seck speed.
Ivan attempted to put on the fott
brake but in some manner his foot
slipped and was caught in the wheel
throwing him out and breaking his leg
between the hip and knee. During the
mixup the wagon tongue came down
and was broken and the tugs on one
side were loosened so that the weight
of the wagon came onto one horse,
which somewhat slackened the speed
of the runaWays. Mrs. Collins and
son Albert, climbed out over the back
of the wagon and escaped injury,
while the little boy that remained in
the wagon also escaped without in
jury. The team was finally stopped by
farmer who headed them off and w.
an was rushed to the Glasgow hospital
in semi-conscious condition where he
is now resting easily.
He will likely be laid up for several
weeks but is congratula ting himself
that his injuries are no worse.

One of the most touching situations

Now they meet for the first time
since the grand old days-in rags
and poverty-all but heartbroken-

their youthful heads since just four
years ago, and oh! what succession
of miseries has befallen the proud

the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, it
