once. The Rhine is at that place deep
aud rapid; and when the aged father OF
the unfortunate lady, in voice Of ago
nizing grief, offered princely reward TO
whosoeyer would save his daughter, there
was no response.
All at once tall young man. in the
costume OF German student, aud wear
ing the gold embroidered cap Of the
Vandal Society, Of Heidelberg, rushed
10 the left bank Of the river. and plunged
boldly into the waters leap Of thirty
feet. There was a loud shout OF ap.
plause, and then again pause Of breath
less silence. All eyes were riyeted on
the gallant swimmer as he struggled
against the rapid current at the very
spot where the young lady had disap-
peared. He dived down. What a min.
ute OF suspense But all at once
heavy burden fell from all those OPP
pressed hearts. The swimmer emerged
from the depth, and on his arm held the
senseless body OF the young ladyl An
other shout Of applause rang the welkin.
Now two boats rowed rapidly toward
the pair, and they did not come any too
soon, for the young swimmer was visiby
growing faint, and, when he with his
burden was drawn into one Of the boats,
he sank down in utter exhaustion. When
the boat reached the left bank, the
young hero was at once the object Of
fervent ovation, while the young woman's
father took the latter in his arms, and
carried her, still in an unconscious con-
dition, into a carriage.
The young hero was a Kentuckian,
named Clarence Goodwin, a law student
at the University Of Heidelberg, The
Oldest and most experienced fishermen
on the Rhine pronounced his exploit
truly heroic deed, and already on the
following morning the Grand Duke of
Baden conferred on young Goodwin,
who is only nineteen years old, the large
gold medal for deeds of conspicuous
courage and devotion. But a still
sweeter reward awaited him. The young
lady whose life he had saved, and who,
n Notwithstanding the shock she had sul-
fered, had. soon revived, was the only
daughter Of Count Reigern, one OF the |
of South German noblemen.
Her father went himself to the savior of
his daughter, and, after thanking him in |
the most touching manner, brought him
10 the young countess. The latter
thanked young Goodwin with tears in
ner eyes, and said that her lifelong graf
tude belonged to him. During the next
few days the two were seen frequently |
.ogether on the public promenade, and |
in Mannheim believes that
hey are engaged to be married.

To offer present to lady dees not
always result rs successfully as in the
case Of Secor Robeson. Surveyor-Gen-
eral Hardenbergh Of California, states
in communication TO the General
Land oaies that one W. S. Chapman
told his (Hardenbergh'sl wife that he
would make her husbands Office worth
100000 a year il allowed to run it,
Finding he could not bribe the lady,
Chapman, according to the Surveyor
General, unblushingly laid gold coin
down before me. He opened his safe,
and took therefrom a roll Of twenty-five
dollar gold pieces. and laid them on the
table before mel think there was $500
to 500 in the roll.saying; Here is
hundred dollars for you Har-
denbergh refused the money, and Chap
man next inquired where Mrs. Harden
bergh was, ,intimating he intended to send
the gold pieces TO her. Finding that
neither husband nor wife would be brib-
ed, Chapman and other rich land grab
bers tried to oustlthe former from his
office. II Hardenbergh is as honest as
he claims to be, the efforts Of the land
grabbers will probably be successful.
