GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ANOTHER
Young Man browns After Rescuing q
Companion from Death.

Companion from Death.
A story Of splendid heroism in
youth who gave his life to save that1of
his friend comes from Fraserburgh,
in Scotland. The hero of the story Is
st. John Dick Cunningham, son Of
Lieutenant Colonel Dick Cunyngham,
V. c., of the Second Battalion Gordon
Highlanders, stationed at Aldershot.
Young Ounyngham and the master Of
Saltoun tson of Lord Saltoun} left
Philorth together, and went to the sea
to bathe. Evidently the lads were unac-
quainted with the treacherous nature
! Of the sands at the point at which they
entered the water, for they walked out
at once. to easy. swimming depth, Sud-
denly both found themselves In deep
water. a strong undercurrent having
drawn them into one Of the many
pots" or pools which constitute the
chief danger of the place.
To the lad Cunningham the situation
was not desperate, but the young mas
ter Of Saltoun was quickly exhausted
and was on the point Of giving up the
struggle when his companion, forget
full Of his own danger and eager only
70 save his friend, devoted all his re-
naming strength to the work of res
cue. After desperate struggle Cum
yngham succeeded in getting his friend
into shallow water, through which the
latter dragged himself in a terribly ex-
hausted condition to the beach.
Turning to thank his rescuer, the
master of Saltoun was Mortified to find
that he had disappeared. Frantic with
excitement, he ran as fast as his condi-
ton would permit to some fishermen
who were working some distance along
the beach, but although they lost no
, time In making search for the lad no
trace of him could be found. He had
givenall his strength to save his friend,
and the cruel sea had sucked him back
! to his death.-LondOn Mail.

The Turkish Lady.

We can hardly realize, writes cor
respondent from Constantinople, the
full monotony Of a Turkish lady's life.
Every woman, rich or poor, with the
least regard to her character must be
in her house by shutdown.
Only think Of the long, dull winter
afternoons and evenings when no
friend can come near them. as all their
female friends must be in their own
houses, and male friends they cannot
have. Even the men Of their own fam
lily associate but little with them.
On the Bosphorus their caiques are a
great resource to the Turkish ladies,
but in Pera those OF the upper classes
can only go out, In closed carriages, to
the Sweet Waters, occasionally accom-
panied by their husbands on horse
hack
But they may speak to no one while
driving; their own husbands and sons
cannot even bow to them ar they pass.
