Truth.

There was an exceedingly thrilling
scene at Boulevard bathing beach Thurs
day evening. twas yet daylight, and the
weather being cool many wandered about
the beach or loungcd on the pavilion, hes
itating about taking dip.
There were but two persons in tho
water, q young man and young lady
companion, and Of course the watchers,
having nothing else to do, kept them con
stantly in sight
What n good time those two young poo
pie had in the water They acted as
though they were sole proprictors of the
chain Of great lakes, and cvcryb body cnvicd
them.
Suddenly tho young man dropped into
the water and called to his lady compan-
ion.
The excitement in the pavilion was in
tense Had he been seinnd with cramps2
No for the young lady, after brief
conference with her submerged male
friend, ran to tho shore across the sand as
fast as her bcbloomcrCd legs could carry
her, up the stairs and into her dressing
room.
The situation became absolutely painful,
for only the y ing man 5 head could bo
seen popping -om the wavy depths, and
he was evidently waiting.
But for what?
In another moment the young lady
tripped down the steps, across tho beach,
and into the water.
She carried something bright red in her
hands, wadcd over to the spot where tho
young man was quietly waiting, and
handed it to him.
"What was it?" everybody asked
The next movo was the young lady
sudden disappearance from the billows
and rs fast as she could she ran into her
| dressing room.
And the young man, where was he?
In two minutes from the time of tho
| girls disappearance malo figure Gle.
| gantly attired in red undcrshirt eau
/ tiously emerged from the water, made u
| break across the sand, up the stairway
into the dressing room and was soon lost
| to view.
Wonder what the trouble VASE"
everybody asked, and the curtain
dropped. Cleveland World.
