calling to me to hold on-just as If i
would be silly enough to run the risk
Of drowning instead of having my life
saved in romantic fashion by gallant
youth like Jack!
Really, there is a. delightful sensa-
ton about having your life saved! Of
course it is pleasant to be allowed a
few more lengths of mortal coil, !"
apart from consideration of the per-
son who has a hand in frightening it.
But when a girl is fshed out of eter-
nifty by pair of strong arms, she is
ready to say yes" to the possessor of
those arms at short notice.
That was my experience, for a few
moments, at least, and if Jack had
asked me then and there, we might
both have been sorry for it.
1.-THE truth was that Jack was too
much engrossed with the fact that we
were not saved yet. There we were,
with the privilege of two piers, and the
bridge between them, Tor perhaps an
all nights promenade, our boat gone,
and no one within mile of our stony
islands to help us.
There was nothing to do but hang
ourselves up to dry and wait until some
chance log man should come our way.
The situation was altogether too seri.
GUS to be conducive to sentiment. We
were shivering with the cold, and we
were hungry, for it was almost dark.
Suddenly there fell upon our listen
ing ears the sound of an oar, and look
ing down the river we beheld the most
welcome sight that had greeted our
eyes for many day.
1t was log driver, An gorgeous red,
rowing toward us N a rude slSiff and
towing our little derelict in his wake.
Joyfully, but cautiously, we stepped
into the boat. Jack offered our rescuer
a handful of silver which the man re-
fused to take. Gould hardly believe
my eyes, and could not help thinking
even then, what a sensation he would
create in New York restaurant or a
Pullman car
Once in the boat Jack rowed as if his
life depended on it.
On the way down we passed one Of
my cousins faultlessly arrayed in
yachting Salt and cap, and sitting up
as priIn and straight as she would in
her mammals drawing-room.
She looked at me with ineffable
scorn as ! sat crouching in the stern of
the boat, dripping wet from bang to
toe, trying to keep warm. OF course
she didn't realize the danger we had
been in, and we didn't stop to tell her.
Indeed, l was very anxious that none
of them should know, and so, when we
landed, / made Jack take me to my
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1894-11-15

But we didn't propose to go back I'M
til we had found the place where we
used 70 land when we were young and
guileless.
This was lovely spot. Jack picked
flowers for me and talked old times
until he came very near getting senti-
mental
took the alarm atonce and proposed
going home, but Jack couldn't seem to
arouse himself from his reverie. Be
fore we knew what had happened, we
were under the bridge between the
piers, and Jack struck with such force
that he was thrown out of the boat. /
reached up just in time to catch the
under beam of the bridge and tried to
hold the boat, too, but the current was
so strong that it glided out from under
me and went sailing down the river on
g cruise of its own.
Meanwhile, Jack had managed TO get
himself out of the water and up on top
of the bridge to which was clinging.
He was frantic with fear lest let go
before he could get to me, and kept

IN A WATERY TRAP.
Carrie Careless Snatched from
Death by a Harvard Hero.
COPYRIGHT, Isa4.l

There was ripping sound as our
boat gided along close TO tie bank,
where the trees and shrubs leaned over
to look at themselves in the cool, clear
water.
Sounds like a story, doesn't it?
Well, that's what it is, only it is
true
The water rippled because had my
hand over the side of the boat. spoil
ing some of the reflections for those
vain monarchs of the forest that ought
to have felt themselves above such
folly.
The boat glided along the bank be-
cause the man at the oar was lazy
sort of fellow and preferred resting in
the shade to rowing in the hot sun.
This is comfortable place to leave
us, so will pause for a moment" as
the stories do, and explain.
don't know why am up here. II
somebody had told me last week that
would be, should have scoffed at the
idea. But have some cousins in this
benighted region, and a dear, little,
sentimental maiden aunt who lives all
by herself.
She is my favorite aunt; suppose it
is because she lets me do exactly as l
please, and seems to approve of every
thing / do. The dear old soul is so
kind to me that | can never bear to
shock her as do my married aunts.
My cousins seem to have inherited
their mammals disapproval of me. and
for this reason, though / am really
visiting them, spend most of my time
with the aunt mentioned.
don't know by what perversity of
fate it came about, but through some
law of contraries | was named after
this good soul. Probably at the tender
age at which was named l did not ex-
hibit the qualities which my relatives
regard as so Objectionable in me now.
At any rate, poor Aunt Carrie has had
to bear the burden and disgrace of an
unruly, unmanageable namesake for
we'll, don't intend to tell how many
years-but she has borne it nobly and
without murmur.
For my part, am very well satisfied
with my aunt's name, but often think
there ought to be law of some kind
which would permit one to name ones
self after arriving at years of discre-
ton.
What a boon this would be to the
Betseys and Bridgets and Eliphalets IN
the world
1t really is shame the way the poor,
innocent babes are taken advantage of

the Animal World.
The wolverine, carcajou or glutton is
better known as being the trapper's
evil genius than for the value or beauty
of his own fur. He is the greatest
thief and the most cunning villain in
our whole mammalian fauna, and
mountains of hard words have been
heaped upon his ugly head. In fight
ing weight he is about the size of a
setter dog, but in form he may best be
described as a cross between a badger
and bear. He has the head, legs,
feet and tail of badger, and a bear
like body. In Wyoming he is called
the skunk bear, not bad name: but
the Indians of northern Washington
go little farther and call him the
