In the old horse-and-buggy days, a young man was engaged to marry a young woman. This young man and woman were looked upon by the townsfolk as being the perfect couple. The day of their marriage was looked to with great anticipation by everyone in town. One day, as the young man stood on the curb of the street, he saw a runaway horse charging down the road. As he looked closer, he realized that his sweetheart was sitting helplessly in the carriage to which the horse was hitched. Suddenly, without any thought for himself, the young man rushed out into the street and grasped the bridle.
