wagon. This slender rod easily
reached the water, and Jessie
thrashed the surface with all possible
vigor. A projecting branch from the
pole caught her cap, and it fell into
the creek, where the tide swept II
under the bridge.
With cry of dismay, Jessie turned
and dashed across, almost falling be,
meath the feet of horse.
whoa, Jim!"
Checked in a slow trot by pair of
taut lines, an old farm horse stopped
so suddenly as to rattle the contents
of the wagon. The driver, boy OF
seventeen, dropped the lines and
leaped lightly to the bridge.
Did he hit you, little girl?"
Jessie Garden stumbled and fell just
beyond the horses hoofs. Before the
boy could reach her, she was on her
feet and peering over the bridge.
There it is! There It isl" she
exclaimed, dancing in excitement and
dismRy. ooh, what will COVE say?
Boy, get me my CAPT"
The youth, startled at the imperl.
GUS summons, followed her gaze and
caught a glimpse of the cap as it was
carried along by the tide. Looking
up the road, he placed his fingers be-
tween his teeth and whistled shrilly.
A large Newfoundland dog came
towards him, leaping in huge bounds.
Hey, Prince, go get It'll" He pointed
to the cap, now whirling in an eddy.
Prince soon reached the cap, and,
holding 1t well above the water,
turned for the bank. The sides were
steep and slippery, but the boy took
firm hold Of the dogs collar. and after
a struggle hauled him to solid ground
Prince dropped the cap, filling the air
with spray as he shook himself,
wagged his tail, and lolled his tongue
in canine selfsatisfaction.
Here is your cap" said the boy, as
he held a much bedraggled piece OF
millinery gingerly at arms length.
Thank you, boyl" said Jessie,
smiling through tears which were
yelling in her eyes. With little
sigh of relief she noted that the gov
orness was not in sight. Jessie patted
the dog on the head, and with a 70
guish glance addressed her unknown
companion.
What is your name?" she asked,
with the direct frankness of twelve
years.
MY name Is Burt-John Burt"

the young lady as she crawled through

bags 300 feet out into the dam on
a boat and sunk them. Then the men
on the raft took one end of the rope
and Bill Olsen took the other down
and tied it about Bill Hoar's waist.
1t was hoped that when the men
above pulled their strength would
draw Hoar away from the pipe
toward the middle of the reservoir, and
so free him. But instead the cement
bags dragged in toward the imprison-
ed man. He was more firmly fastened
than the anchor.
After Bill Olsen went down again,
and again. At about 9 o'clock the
next morning 800 feet of inch and a
half rope were laid out from the
nearest shore to the float and team
of four horses was attached to 1t.
Olsen took down the end Of the
rope and tied it to a blight around
Bill Hoar, who was still able to move
and to shake his hand. The horses
were started The rope broke. Then
and there in the hearts of the engi-
neers ended all real hope of ever get
ting Bill Hoar out alive. Olsen came
up quite delirlous and quite unable to
do anything more.
But on the early train came John
Myers, Bill Hoar's closest friend and
companion for fifteen years. Fresh
and full of hope, he was sure he
could get Hoar up. He went down at
10 O'clock He found thai JJoar had
managed to pull himself up to the
side of the ball and was resting
against it, He did not believe Hoar
recognized him.
