his lips, pitched into the water. The
father threw himself first into the lake,

in his arms, was drawn ashore by two
men who CHANGED to witness the acct
dent. A glance sufficed to tell the story.
The forehead Of the superintendent had
been crushed in by projecting rock
which he must have struck under the
water. Medical aid was summoned as
soon as possible. The man who had
given his life that his son might live was
