newt the rush Of the torrent bro.6nt
him Up again. and every time 1t drG so
the smaller boy, who was hanging on
manfully, caught little breath.
At any rate, there was nothing to do
now but to persevere, and Charley kept
rapidly on until he had seized in his
arms Donald, who was already half
drowned. The increased weight all at
one spot now sank both boys, but Char
ley clambered back with Donald, now
out of the water for moment, now
under 1t again. thinking each moment
would be his last, and fearing that
Donald was already drowned.
At last both reached the shore. DON
aid was apparently lifeless, but Charley
summoned all his strength and started
on, with the limp body in his arms,
to his parents house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarno saw him come up, and helped
him into the house. Then they devoted
their attention to the seemingly drown
ed Donald, whom they soon revived.
Charley wanted nothing more than a
little rest and good deal of supper.
These matters attended to, both the
rescuer and the rescued were soon as
brisk as ever.

Gallant Resuce by a Bow.

The heroic achievements represent
ed in fiction are now and then quite
surpassed by some brave deed done in
very truth. Such a deed, the story
Of which stirs the heart, is recorded
In the Oregonian Of Portland. Ore.
At Clarno Ferry, on the John Day
River, large stream which flows into
the Columbia, lives ranchman named
Donald McRae, who has an invalid
wife and little boy 10 years old. One
day recently McRae had to take his
wife away for medical treatment, and
left the boy, whose name is Donald,
to stay about the place and get his
meals at the Clarnos', who live on the
opposite side of the river.
Just at this time a food arose. and
the river became raging torrent. At
6 o'clock in the evening Charley Clar.
no, the son of Andrew Clarno, the fer
ryman, was about to go after little
Donald, to make sure that he got safely
across the river to supper, when he
saw Donald, who was self-reliant fel-
low, already on his way.
At that moment, in the very middle
of the river, the boat capsized, and
was swept away from Donald by the
current. Charley expected that Don
aid would not be seen again, for surely
no one could live in such a torrent;
but presently he was astonished to see
the boys head and shoulders rise from
the flood. and to hear him cry Justify
for help.
What Donald had succeeded in doing
was to lay hold Of a wire, which had
been stretched across the river, below
the main ferry cable, to prevent the
ferry-boat from blowing too far away
from the cable in high wind. Ordi-
narily the cable and the wire are sew
eral feet above the water. but in this
fiood both were partially submerged.
In going down when he was swept out
of the boat, Donald had been carried
against this wire. He had seized 1t.
and was keeping his lead above water
by its aid.
Charley had no time to plan rescue
by means Of boat. nor did he take
time to summon assistance. He SIM
ply sprang into the river, and began
going hand over hand out along the
wire to the place where the little boy
clung.
The distance was about one hundred

A means for preventing the NOISE
made by trains in passing over iron
bridges has been devised by German
engineer. He puts decking of 2ll Inch
planks between the cross Orders, rest

layer of felt is laid, which is fixed to

two hooked bolts connect the whole
firmly to the bottom flange. Four inches
of Stag gravel cover the decking, which
Is inclined toward the center of the
bridge for drainage purposes. A layer
Of felt is laid between the planks and
