fume to the wheel of the paper-mill, a
distance of 100 feet. He was seen to
fall into the pool, and immediate search
was made for him by his parents and
Others, but no trace of him could be
found. A short time afterward one OF
the paper-mill hands happened to be
down near the water-wheel of the mill
He heard a childish voice hailing him
from the dark recess of the wheel
A lantern was procured and search
made within the wheel recess, and
there the little 5-year-old hero was
found clinging TO the wheel-post, il
the water up to his waist. He had fall
en- into the pool and been drawn into
the underground flume, and made thu
100-foot passage through it and landed
on the paper-mill wheel in good order
and uninjured. t..t-.
