A Plucky Girl.

During the last trip of the Golden Crown
from New Orleans, while lying at Gretna, O
few miles above the latter city, loading a large
lot of marble, the passengers, learning from
the Captain that they would have several
hours in port, started out to see the town.
Among those who wandered around the town
was Master Willie Baird, the fifteen-year-old
son Of Dr. Baird, of Wheeling, and in spirit
OF adventure he walked out on long piece Of
timber that was lying in the water. AS he ap-
preached the end he lost his balance and fell
into the turbulent water. The accident
was witnessed by several on the shore,
who all seemed paralyzed with fear, with
the exception of Miss Ella Bailey, a resident of
Newport KY, a niece of Mr.. Bailey, who is
the ok-keeper of Robert Clarke s. Co, a lass
of about the same age as young Baird. The
courageous girl ran to the spot. jumped to the
log, and got hold of the hair of the lad as he
was sinking for the last tme and she held on
brayely until assistance came to the rescue.
Ii matters in real life take the same course as
they do in fiction, our next notice Of this
young couple will be the ringing of the mar
rage bells for Willie and the brave lassie who
saved his life.-CinctT.nGti ENQUIRER,
