bend in the river, to behold the water nymphs
floating in the ripping current, flares than the

ing themselves, one of the rasca's wagered thir-
ty dollars on the swimming powers of a faxen-
haired divinity against a small dark,eyed beau

most expert Swimmers. The wager was accep-
ted. The two had struck out for a long swim,
a strong swim aud a swing altogether, when
the " fair-liaired' shriked ga turtle! q tur-
tleF' and, terribly frightened, sank under the
surface.
1t was a struggle between gallantry and du-

accepted the challenge leapt from his hiding
place'i into the stream, and striking ont boldly
succeeded in Selling the iusensible and drown
ing girl and dragged her to the shore. OF
course the remainder of the party had fled, but
soon returned, took charge of tie nearly imam
innate form, and restored her to consciousness.
In consideration Of the service performed the
young fellows were granted absolution. The
heroic rescuer of the young lady, however,
claimed the thirty dollars. OF the score that his
nymrh had fairly won The match. Ii it is not
