A tramp. covered with dust and dirt. his

fellow Thomas Gilroy Of Commun paw avenue.
who evidently was TAX ing his first lessons in

out. but he was afraid.
Then some Of them tried TO drag him out,
but he screamed and cried and they released
him. few minutes later tho boy moved
away by himself. and then he ventured into
the water some little distance. lie wadsd out
on tho sloping bottom until tho water was
about up to his middle. when he suddenly dis
appeared. He probably stepped of q ledge OF
rock or clay. When hr rose to the surface he
screamed.
His companions hnstcned to his assistance.
but before they could reach him the tramp
was on his feet and running along the shore.
On reaching point opposite where the drown
ing boy was struggling tho tramp plunged
into the water Afew strokes brought him to
ashore with the boy on his shoulder. Some
boatmen and others who were In the vicinity
took up a subscription. which realized $1.2j.
and gave 1t to the tramp. His name was
asked. but he said II made no difference as
nobody knew him. He took the $l.2O, thank
