An Exciting Chase and Narrow Ex-
cape From Death.


Some years ago Uaere was runaway
down at Shelter Island in which
young girl was left in the boat with
gale blowing. She tried to throw the
sheet loose, but it was frozen and her
fingers We're too cold, added to which
the sheet had fouled the tiller and she
could not bring the boat up into the
wind to stop its way, the sail being so
set that the boat continued running
right along at a terrific rate of speed.
Occupants of the other boats soon
realized the position and made chase,
gaining slowly, one boat finally being
far in the lead Of the others by the time
the end of the island was left behind.
Right in front lay the end of the ice,
broken short by the action of the tide
water, and there the breakers rolled in,
throwing up the anchor ice, dashing it
down, and then retreating, sucking it
under the foe and packing it up for an
other break.
For some time it was a question as to
whether the chasing boat would catch
up with the girl before she was carried
ONCl Inc etSG ~ tam uedlu Duu
last the boats came together for one
brief second, the girl was snatched by
strong arms to the pursue1 s yacht, the
sheet was eased off in a fash and, spin
ming round in its own length, it was
set right before the wind instead of
reaching into it, just as the runaway
dashed over into the anchor ice.
A short, sharp crack gave notice of
the parting of the ice beneath the very
runners of the now homeward bound
savior and with a long stagger, which
only her speed enabled her to with
stand, she dashed across the fast open
ing crack, safe. to be brought up into
the wind at distance, while the late
runaway danced, a wreck, among the
broken ice. 1t was one of the close calls
of ice yachting which, thank goodness,
very seldom occur!-W. P. Pond in
Frank Leslies Popular Monthly.

HE KEPT THE SEAT.
But 1t Was Worth What the other
Man Paid For 1t.

NUN IuAu \ oE H.
A man who had not been to church
for very long time, says London ex
change, finally hardened to the persua
sions of his wife and decided to go. He
got the family all together, and they
started early. Arriving at the church,
there were very few people in it and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family we'll up the aisle and took
possession of nice pew.
Just as the service was about to be-
gin pompous looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied The occu-
pants moved over and offered him room
to sit down, but he declined to be seat
ed. Finally the old man produced a
card and wrote upon it with a pencil:
81 pay for this pew. :
"He gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant. who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with smile read the card
Then he calmly wrote beneath it:
Chow much do you pay a year?'
To this inquiry the pompous old gen
tleman, still standing. wrote abruptly:
''Ten pounds. f"
The stranger smiled as though he
We're pleased, looked around to compare
the pew with others. admired its nice
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
81 don't blame you. It is we'll worth
it.
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat.
