JIMMIE. ARD /. HRG.


His own boat happened to be near at
hand, and few rapid strokes brought
him as near the eddy as safety per-
mitted.
"Here!' he cried, grumbling, as he
threw out rope, "ketch hold Of that,
if you don't want to drown"
Miss Jane had been so occupied with
her fears and struggles that up to this
moment she was unaware that assist
ance had arrived. At the sound Of his
voice she turned quickly.
"Merciful heavens! Jimmy Bradford,

Don't be tarnation fool, Jane
Green! Ketch hold Of that rope an
I'll pull you out"
''Never!' cried Jane, squirting out a
stream Of water from her mouth, and
padding desperately with both hands
to keep afloat.
''Then I'll pull ye out, anyhow ejac-
ulated Jimmy. 81 never knew any liv-

Jimmy, as they reached the woman's
home. you'd better make you some

Jane agreed to it coyly, and Jimmy
turned away, with new and strange
feelings lingering in his breast.
'Blest if she amt plucky one," he
said to himself. 81 never seen a woman
before that had any sense. She'd make

But month later found her the wife
of a man who did not like women folks,
and that contented individual was nc

LAW AS INTERPRETED.

An exception as to "change of occu.
pant without increase of hazard" in
an insurance policy prohibiting change
of interest, title or possession, is held,
in Herman Bros, L. & Co. VS.. Katz
Bros. (Tenn.), Al L. r. A. 700, to be ap.
plicable to personal as well as to real
property.
The presumption against suicide is
held in Johns vs. Northwestern Mutual
Relief Association (Wis.), Al L. r. A.
5S7, insufficient to sustain a cause of
action for accident Insurance, where
the insured went to bed as usual, was
found next morning in an underground
cistern back Of the house, with under
clothes, pants and stockings or, but no
coat and the opening to the cistern
was Is by 20 inches.
The implied duty of the owner to use
reasonable care in inspecting and re-
pairing crate In sidewalk in front
Of his premises is held. in Canandaigua
VS.. Foster On. W, Al L. r. A. 554, to
continue, Notwithstanding his lease of
a part Of the structure on the abutting
land and its occupation by tenant, al
though the tenant has, by implication,
the exclusive right to use the CRATE.
The burden Of proving an alibi Is held
in State VS.. Thornton Is. d., Al L. r. A.
$50, to be upon the defendant-at least
to the extent of raising reasonable
doubt Of guilt-after the State has
made prima facie case. The great
contrariety Of opinion on this subject
is shown in note to this case; In which
the different rules are clearly defined
and the authorities of the different
jurisdictions analyzed with reference
to them.
The loss Of the services of a minor
child killed by the fault Of another is
held, in Gulf, G. & S. Il. Co. VS.. Beall
(Texas), Al L. r. A. S07, to give the
parents no common-law right of action
against the party in fault. There has
been difference of authorities on this
question, the preponderance of which
supports the present decision, but the
cases which reach this conclusion do
so on different grounds, as appears
from the note to this case.

A HUSBANDS TASTE.

Mary r. Baldwin relates this sug.
gestive little incident in the Woman's
Home Companion: "'Oh, my dear,
where did you get that monstrosity?
whispered a man to the little woman
by his side as he clung to a strap, and
she to him, as they rode home together
in street-car.
"The effect certainly was ridiculous
the wee face with its timid expression
under one of the largest of the new
styles of hats with its flaunty feathers
and obtrusive trimmings. The tears
started to the eyes of the overtopped
little creature; then she recovered her
self, and insisted that it was lust the
thing-the very latest of the fashions
1t is not beneath the thought of the
most intellectual woman, nor does il
compromise personal independence
and taste to consult the preferences of
n husband in the choice of modes and
articles of dress.
''There are husbands so constituted
no doubt, that it is gratifying to their
pride and sense of authority to receive
perfect dependence from the wife: but
the reliance of an efficient woman who
is able to think and act for herself is
thoroughly appreciated by broad
minded, generous-souled husband. If
his wife has a refined true taste he
feels honored when she lays before him
her plans for the house-furnishing. or
the gowning of herself, and after the
purchase, as he regards effects, he
takes pride in the thought of having

" HOSE were their nameS-Jlmmy
and Jane. Everybody in the vii
- lage knew them; they had many
friends; yet all agreed with wonderful
unanimity that they were two Of the
strangest individuals ever seen.
Jimmy-his full name was James
Bradford-was a bachelor of about so
years, reputed to have a stocking full
of gold and silver coins, which he kept
in his feather bed. He was a noted
hater of women and seldom spoke to
one.
Jane-or more properly Miss Jane
Green-was called an old maid, lived in
a tiny house by herself, and had holy
horror of the biped man. Her age was
"uncertain," but her 10th birthday was
OF the past.
Jimmy took life easily, but was op-
posed to ostentation and the modern
acceptance of the term "luxury."
He dressed without regard to fash
ion, but within the bounds of respect
ability. He even rode out in his own
carriage, but it was by no means a
modern vehicle; it had done service, he
would proudly tell you, since his grand
fathers days, quite a century ago.
He cared little for books; society he
abominated, because it was spoiled by
admitting women, and of the few di-
versions that went to make up the sum
Of his life's pleasures, fishing held the
place of prominence.
Even in the pursuit Of this gratifica-
ton Jimmy was not free from harass-
ment, for he was obliged to pass by
the door Of cottage occupied by a
woman in order to reach the river. The
woman was no other than Jane.
One bright afternoon in September
Jimmy was lounging along the river
bank when the splash Of oars in mid
stream fell upon his ears. He looked
in the direction of the sounds, and then
scowl wrinkled his forehead.
''Humph! he muttered, "that old
maid Jane Green is trying to row over
to Ned Browns. Shed better be home
drinking tea. Most likely she'll man.
age to get drowned. What fuss she
makes, splashin' an flappin' about"
He pulled up his line with an angry
jerk, put a fresh worm on the hook
and then cast out the line again, with
an outlay of strength quite unneces
sary, unless to give vent to his indig
nation.
The "splashin' an 1appin' about" in
stead Of dying away IN the distance as
the boat reached the other side of tn,
river, grew louder and more disturb
ing, and, half in wonder, half anger
Jimmy looked around again.
"Drat the luckv he cried. "If sh,
amt gone and rowed right smack int
that eddy-the only one within tw,
miles at that. If that amt jest like
fool woman I'd like to know what I'll
like"
Just then his attention was attracte.
to his line, and James peril was for
moment forgotten.
A forcible reminder came in the forr
of loud, piercing scream, followed b.
frightened appeal for help.
"There, jest as might ha' been eS
pected! The first bite I've had for a,
) hour, and that miserable woman ha

plucky for fish bait, an I'll save ye,
or

III woman nau Sucn grit. you're 100
plucky for fish bait, an I'll save we,
whether or no."
Despite James gurgled protests, he
hurriedly hauled in the rope, formed
slipnoose at one end, and hurled it over
the half-drowned woman's shoulders.
Then he exerted his strength in Wig
orous pull, which Jane resisted with
all her waning powers, and succeeded
in lifting her into the boat.
"Oh, dear" she gasped. "And to
think that l should owe my life to
Jimmy Bradford" and then, too much
exhausted to bear up any longer, she
closed her eyes and tainted away.
"Wuss and wuss!' cried Jimmy. "Did
ever a man hev such luck? What in
the world am goin' to do with a faint
in half-drowned woman, I'd like to
know? I've half a mind to leave her
here in the boat an start for home"
He drew the boat up on the sloping
shore and after carrying Miss Jane to
a sheltered spot beneath a widespread
Ing willow tree, proceeded to restore
her to consciousness. When she open
ed her eyes the first thing that met her
gaze was Jlmmy's face.
"Oh, my soul! she gasped, feebly.

scandal waggin' against me-"
You're too plucky woman to feed

James pale face changed In a mo-
ment to deep carnation hue, and her
tone might have indicated either real
or pretended reproach as she replied:
Same on We, Jimmie Bradford, to
make fun of a misfortunate an de-
fenseless woman. I'll go home this
minute"
She arose, trembling and weak, and
attempted to walk away, but staggered
and was obliged to grasp branch of q
tree for support.
