A WOMAN'S HEROISM. | EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF fiONDON AN'ARCHY. London, September 1. A significant glimpse into the underworld of hooliganism and anarchy which momentarily revealed itself during the strike was"affordeil at the Marylebone Police Court on Saturday by the case of Mrs. Annie Mackenzie. Mrs. Mackenzie recently assisted a / policeman who was being kicked into in- I sensibility by two ruffians while a howl-J ing mob of many hundred persons looked I on approvingly. .So impressed was Dr. ) Denman, the magistrate who heard the -" case, by her bravery that he declared, "I shall' always revere the name of Annie Mackenzie." Since then Mrs. Mackenzie has been ceaselessly molested, and threatening crowds have even surrounded her house. But at the same time she has received one of the most remarkable testimonials of public appreciation on record. She attended the Marylebone Police Court on Saturday to receive a substantial sum of money subscribed by people in every part of the country, and Mr. Denman, in making the presentation, paid her another tribute. ''While Police Constable Emmett was being maltreated on the ground' in the most cowardly manner by some exceedingly rough and bad characters," he said, "a large crowd of men stood round looking on and apparently enjoyed it. Not one of them raised even a finger te assist him, as it was the bounden duty of everyone of them to do. '"Mrs. Mackenzie, however, acting on the good impulses of the moment, pluckily went to the policeman's aid in circumstances of great peril to herself. Perhaps what she was able to do was not very great, but it was something, and a litfle act rendered under such circumstances may very well prove a turning-point, and prevent a very serious public danger. '•lt is not often in the course of my long experience that I have felt it my ( duty to go out of my way to praise a*j witness, but in this case I certainly feel - : that Mrs. Mackenzie has earned it. I have asked her to attend the court because I have been requested to let her I know how very widely her conduct is appreciated. "I have the greatest pleasure in telling her that her plucky behaviour has met with the most generous appreciation and recognition on the part of the police, who have asked me to present her, on their behalf, with a substantial testimonial of their gratitude. The Commissioner of Police has also made a giant to her out of a fund which lawabiding people placed at his disposal. "Other persons in distant parts of the country have also sent sums of money in rccogntiion of her bravery. '1 wish you a long, prosperous and steady life," he said to Mrs. Mackenzie,, "during which I hope you will enjoy the' happy reflection that your conduct has been sn thoroughly and widely appreciat-

Later in the day Mrs. Mackenzie appeared at the court to prosecute Mrs. Margaret Dale, of Cirencester street, Harrow road, who had been arrested on a warrant for using threats "whereby Mrs. Mackenzie goes in danger of her life or some bodily harm.'' Mrs. Mackenzie said that Mrs. Dale and others had tormented and molested her ever since she assisted the police, and she was going in fear of her life. "About midnight on Thursday," she continued, 'T was awakened from sleep by the shouts of Mrs. Dale and a mob of men and women she had brought from Cirencester street. She challenged me to come out, threatened to smash my windows, and spoke defiantly both of the magistrate and the police." When arrested Mrs. Dale said that if she hail been younger she would have cariied out her threat. Mr. Denman ordered her to find a .-urety of £5 for six months, or in default to undergo twenty-one days' impri>onnicnt.

A BRAVE GIRL. SHOT WHILK NAVIXC A MAN. INi-ir Patrino, of New York, is only 15 Yeans old. (tut she had the courage the other afternoon to face ti pistol in the hands of a young desperado and she will probably pay for her bravery with her life. She was going to the aid of her brother-in-law when a would-be burglar, only a year older than herself, pulled a revolver, and the bullet that he fired struck her in the left breast. I'nsic lives on the top door of n tenement, which is occupied by Italians, and there have been .so many burglaries there of late where the burglar got in through the scuttle that the landlord ordered the scuttle kept locked and asked the tenants lo see that it was. On his afternoon Rosie's brother-in-law. Vicenzo Manrino, who lives with Rosie's family, saw a boy of lanky frame tugging away at the scuttle door. "What are you doing up there?" said Manrino. "I'm going home this way," said the boy. "Well, you can't get home that way. Come down." and Manrino started for the short (lights of stairs that led up to (he scuttle door. The boy turned, and as he reached the hall lluor pulled a revolver from his hip pocket. ATanrino dodged and Kosie, who liiul conifl to the •doorway, ran forward a.s she saw the glint of the revolver in the boy's hand. Straight for him she

went, and as she got ahead of her brother-in-law the boy fired. The bullet hit a bright metal loeket that hung about her neck and glanced off into her breast. Manrino and Rosie's father, Louis, sprang upon the boy and wrenched the revolver from him. Other tenants came : running up the stairs and when they ] saw the girl lying huddled on the floor they broke into imprecations in Italian and for a time it looked as if the boy's time on earth would be a short one. They beat him and kicked him and did everything but turn upon him the revolver that had shot Rosie. Detectives Deitch and Buddemeyer came up the stairs on the run in time to grab the boy and take the revolver from Rosie's father. Rosie was taken to the Harlem Hospital, and the surgeons say she cannot live. FOOT COMFORT Some useful points from a doctor's advice are—t Never wear a shoe that will not allow the great toe to lie in a straight line. Never wear a shoe that pinches at the keel. Never wear a shoe tight anywhere or so loose that it does not hold to the foot. Never come from high heels to low heels at a jump. Never wear one pair of shoes all ,the time unless obliged to do so. Two pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately give more service, and are much more healthy. Never wear stockings short in the feet. Be sure they will allow your toes to spread out at the extreme ends, as this keeps the joints in place and makes a strong and attractive foot.
