The Captain OF the boat and mike"
both saw the boys's predicament at the
same time, and Mike instantly stop
ped, allowing the rope to fail slack. See
ing what "Mike" meant, the Captain
ran forward and threw the rope loose
from the boat, at the same time shout
ing to Cameron to grasp it, which the
latter did.
Old Mike" had in the meantime kept
an eye on the proceedings and when
Cameron caught the rope he started off,
slowly at first, so as not to jerk the rope
out OF the boys hands, and then faster
as he felt the rope grow taut.
Finally, he started across field, pull
ing Cameron out of the water, and onto
the bank, where he soon recovered.
While mike" pranced about with eyid-
ent delight.
The boys father would like very much
to buy "Mike" and pension him for life.

his old sweetheart, whose second hns-

Old times were talked over and these
two former lovers decided they would
repair the ancient injury done their
feelings and marry now. The most sin
gular part OF this strange story is the
fact that neither Jones nor his former
tiancee could think OF the latter's maid
