Zim set his pail of biackberries on

small dark object that moved up the
side of the ravine like shadow.

UNION VETERANS AFLOAT.
John A. Stnrin Gives Them Their
Annual Excursion.

Some ten thousand excursionists ac-
cepted the hospitality of John H. Starin
to-day They were the Union veteran
soldiers and sailors of New York, Brook
Ign and Jersey City and their families.
The barges Nelson and Warren took on
their load at the foot of Thirty-fourth
street, North River; the Sumner and
Vanderbilt at the foot of Delaney
street. East River, and two other barges
at Brooklyn and Jersey City.
The steamer Laura NJ. Starin. with 200
invited guests. left the foot of Cortlandt
street. and after collecting the fotilla
OF barges steamed around Governors
Island, where the guests paid their re-
spects to Gen. Howard. Salutes were
fred from the fort as the barges passed.
There was band OF music on each
barge, while the Old Guard Band en-
livened things on the steamer.

with the other. Presently the ground
hog ceased it's efforts and gave up the
fight, and Its life as well.
But when Zim ATTEMPTED to withdraw
from the log he found he could not stir.
His head was downhill nor was there
room to work himself backward. To add
to his distress, his toes, In the struggle,
had lost their hold upon the upper end
of the log.
Zim realized that II he remained in
that situation much longer he would
surely suffocate. though the chance or
being heard by human ears in that Sc
cluded ravine was dismally uncertain.
Yet, in the very ecstacy of his fear, he
continued to yell for aid The swirl of
blood to his brain, the stuffy choking
darkness, and, more than all, the APP
palling sense that he might die there.
were almost more than he could en-
dure. With a vague prcking OF pity for
the ground hog and dazed Idea that
he was being punished for his own
mercilessness, he felt his head whirl
dzzily.
Then something made a noise outside.
The log was pulled round, turning over
as It went. Hands grasped his heels,
and Zim was drawn from his narrow
prison.
He was more exhausted by his emo
lions than by the struggle he had under
gone. One hand still held the jack
knife. while the other clutched the dead
ground hog. He was scratched. and his
clothes were torn, but he was alive. He
aat up, blinking the dust from his eyes
ind looked at his preserver.
The stranger. having accomplished
Zims rescue, was now eating the boys
berries ravenously.
