Brave Deed of Two Little Maids In

reward Dora Patterson and Vida Mexican,
two little girls who recently, at the imminent
peril of their own lives. saved that OF John
Baker. an old clam digger. The children

a cry for help. The appeal came from Baker,
who had accidentally stepped into some SOFT
mud, in which he was buried up TO ms
shoulders. The tide was coming In rapidly
and they saw that in IA few minutes Baker
would be drowned. There was not time for
assistance, so the two children set about
saving him themselves. ENerting all or
their strength they managed TO tear from a
fence a board, which, with a zone, two,

seized IL just In time and managed TO hold
his mouth above water until the lttle res
cuers ran for a line. which had been LETT
some distance away on the beach. The rope
was 30 short that one Of the children had
to wade into the muddy water up to her
waist before being able to throw him the
end. Then the other child clasped her
around the waist and with all their strength
both began TO pull. The old man was at his
last gasp almost when the children's enorts
released him from the mud. Then 1t was

Hounds of the sea.
1t is a common saying that birds go a
fishing, but it is not generally known that
very often the case is reversed and the birds
supposed to be the enemies Of the fishes arc
caught in The tolls.
Several years ago. when fishing on tho
Maine coast, the writer observed what the
fishermen called the running Of the dog
fish. One day the fishing for cod, hake and
haddoCk was excellent; the following morn
ing It had stopped as suddenly as though
a command to all the fishing tribe had been
issued by Neptuue.
The explanation was that an army of small
sharks, swimming in from the unknown
depths of the sea, had driven away all the
edible fish. This horde was so starved and
ravenuus they were a menace to life. II
anything were thrown into the water they
rushed to the spot; bit at the oars and sails
that dragged overheard and dcvoNrcd every
thing eatable that appeared. The gulls and
other birds which were in the habit OF alight-
ing on the water now became victims. SeS-
cral were seen to suddenly disappear, jerked
down from below to be torn in pieces by
, these hounds Of the sea. In some Instances
a bird would escape with the loss of a leg,
! and doubtless numbers were caught by the
voracious fish.
