to swim"
Learn me?" queried the wife as she
paused in her sewing.
Eyes, you. Your life is very precious
to me. aud I don't want you to lose il
because YOU can't swim ashore when al
accident takes place. l can swim like 8
duck myself, and | feel guilty to think
we've been married twenty-one.. wears

she replied. There was always some he

OF course, I'd jump into the water tc
save a lady; but there are lots of mer
who wouldn't. Stand up. Amanda, and
let me give you the motions of swim
