S. ROSENTHAL.
The Crew Of St. GATHERINGS.

On a bright August day in the
year 1850, young Tom Bradstreet
in his little skiff, rowed up ant
down Lake Chcwasset, looking a
the University crew as they prac
ticed for the race that was to take
place next day.
On the right, beneath the edge
of the green woods, Toms glat
eyes beheld the men of st. James
pulling their forty-two strokes, ant
flying along like an arrow. Far.
ther off was the crew of Camworth
spinning toward the upper end o.
the water. To the left were the
magnificent fellows of Holmon Hall
and last and finest of all, in the
middle of the lake, coming as Tom
thought, like "chain-shot," were
the giants of st. Catherine 's-theil
six long oars dipped as one, their
six brown backs swayed like clock
work, and their magenta head
handkerchiefs rising and falling
together.
TOMS heart leaped as he saw
them. His admiration of this
crew had made him its warm par
tisan, and he never doubted but
that its men would win the race.
The "stroke. oar" was q young
Hercules named Windham, as hand
some and agile fellow as ever led
race. This was Toms hero. He
had watched him with an enthusi-
asn that glowed and grew every
day till it amounted to kind of
worship, and he had haunted the
race-course in his skiff, and hung
about the boat house for chance
to hear the splendid champion
speak, or perhaps win glance of
his eye.
Windham was too busy to notice
his boy-admirer, although he was
very kind-hearted, and ready on
any occasion, to serve the poorest
thing that needed him.
st. GATHERINGS crew came sweep
ing on. Tom, all on fire with en-
citement, leaped up and fixed his
eyes on his hero. He could see
his great muscles, his rich brown
skin, his eager, handsome face, his
magnificent motion. In a parox-
ysm of ardor and delight, he leap
ed to his feet and swung his bat,
and shouted and hurrahed like q
crazy boy.
AS he did so, he slipped from his
thwart, and pitched forward on his
face. The skiff lurched. The
stone that was used sometimes to
anchor it, rolled overheard into
deep water, entangling one of Toms
arms in the rope, as it went down.
In a moment the boy was help
less, dragged under the water by
the running coils. The crew of
st. GATHERINGS heard the splash,
but rowed on, thinking it was only
boys frolic. They shot past the
skif just as Tom disappeared be-
meath the surface of the lake.
"Hold onr cried Windham
shack water! stop her !"
The boat with six strong men,
rowed back to the skiff. The in
slant Windham's eye caught sight
of the taut rope he saw the nature
of the accident. Carefully raising
he stepped into the skiff
and motioned his men to pull away,
Then seizing the rope he drew rap
idly up, and soon the arm Of the
drowning boy came in sight under
the clear water. But the wet coil |
was gone
Quick as thought Windham dived
after him, while his crew waiting
on their oars at little distance,
kept anxious watch of the spot.
Every man was ready TO plunge
into tho rescue, II IL should be
necessary. In a minute Windham
came up. He had Tom in his
arms. He placed him In the skif
lace down, took in another man

Believing as we do that the time

quite wet, and you will have no trouble
about your boots getting hard and
