Professor Pomfret had come to the boys

He said that he and his son felt condemned

THE POMFRET ARISTOCRACY

merciless wheel was drawing him to a speedy
death. Then Wards nobler nature asserted
itself. His shell could not live in those
waves, and it would not hold two persons
if he succeeded in rescuing his schoomate.
He did what was left for him to do. He
abandoned his boat and plunged into the Po-
tomac He swan toward Caleb encouraged
by the cheers from the shore.
Caleb was in frenzy of fear, and, like
most drowning persons. he seized his rescuer
in such viselike embrace that he nearly
dragged both down to their death.
But Ward was stronger than most boys of
his years, and the struggle ended in his tri-
umph. When he had succeeded in dragging
Caleb almost to the shore, hundred pairs of
hands were reached out to help him, and
hundreds of voices husky with feeling, were
praising Ward Jerome's courage and strength
He did not see them-did not hear them
He saw Mr.. Maxwell in the crowd. The
junior teacher had just arrived.
Ward was trembling, exhausted by his al
most superhuman efforts to save Caleb's life
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-23

The tide of public opinion had turned and
Ward was the hero of the hour; but he was
strangely Indifferent to it all. He spoke to
the man who had been his friend in his
greatest trouble.
Il believe l am ILL.," he said. "Will you
help me back to my roomT
The boys in the Pomfret Institute had dc
cided that Ward Jerome deserved better
treatment than they had been giving him.
He had been deprived of his just dues, ex-
PEELED from the boat club, and ostraczed be-
cause of his fathers disgrace. He had borne
injustice in silence and with dignity. Final
ly he had risked his life to save that of the
lad who had made his shame public, and
who had taken from him the place he had
earned in the crew.
The boys held an earnest meeting, where
they drew up set of resolutions expressing
regret for having treated him unjustly and
commenting his bravery and broadminded
generosity.
The paper frankly acknowledged the boys
past wrong estimate of Wards character
and it stated that they would be proud to

ing herd, though so far away as to appear no
larger than mice. Away he would gallop in
huge circle until he reached a position
whore the wind blew from them to him. This
made it less likely that they would discover
his presence by their great sense of smell, and,
dropping from his horse, he crouched down
in the shelter of its side, walking little by
little nearer to his prey. Arrived within bow
the chase in earnest Such skillful horseman
did he become that while galloping at full
speed he could discharge his arrows with un-
crring aim.
OF course, great peril attended such huntings
as these, but the Indians wants were often

the course of the boat crews, and while it
pulled a little to one side of the river it
came so near the Pomfret crew that their
frail craft was in the wash of the paddle
wheel.
In moment the Pomfret boat was filing
with water The crew made vigorous eff
fort to get away from the steamer, but was
not quick enough.
The Pomfret had lost the race, and their
boat was sinking. They went shoreward,
their boat filing higher with every turn of
the paddle-wheel, and finally going down
into the bed of the Potomac.
Most of the boys could swim like ducks,
and they struck out for the shore. The
crowd was disappointed at the turn affairs
had taken. but was not alarmed or concern
ed about the safety of the swamped crew
But one person in the crowd was alarmed.
That was Professor Pomfret. He knew that
Caleb could not swim.
He shouted to the other lads in the water
that Caleb was drowning He wrung his
hands and called for aid but the swimmers
did not hear him. In the excitement of es-
Gaping the steamer, they failed to realize
Caleb's danger.
The crowd on shore saw it, and was terror
ized by it, and by the fathers frantic calls for
help.
Then Ward Jerome saw his enemy's diem
ma, and cheer broke from the people on
shore as he started to the rescue.
Caleb's exposure Of Mr.. Jeromes' impris-
onment and its mortifying consequences had
made Ward dislike the principals son with
great intensity.
1t must be confessed that when he saw Ca
leb struggling in the water, Wards first i'm
pulse had been to let him get along as best
he could.
But moment later he realized that Caleb
could not save himself, that he was drown
ing before his fathers eyes, and that the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-23

vices he would drive them into places from
which escape was difficult, and skillfully
throwing the looped rope SO that the moose
dropped over the head of the animal he had
chosen from the herd, he soon had the prize
struggling at his feet.
The red man found the horse very great
help when hunting the buffalo, and as this
latter animal furnished him with so many of
the necessities of life, an easier and surer
means of capturing it meant increase of
wealth.
Armed with bow and arrows or a single
spear, he rode from his wigwam over the
boundless plain, unbroken by forest or jungle.
His keen sight would ere long, detect row

great, and many starving village had been
saved by some courageous hunting party risk
ing their lives in chasing the buffalo.
As we have said, to this animal he owed
the supply of most of his necessities. The
walls of his "house" were formed of it's skin,
and his cloak, his saddle and his head-dress.
The latter often consisted of little more than
q narrow band Of skin, on the inside of which
a row Of eagles feathers was fastened, SO that
when pressed upon the head, they would as
sumo an upright position, or any angle re-
quired. Thus an inhabitant himself of the
wind-swept wild, he gathered his humble
wealth from the creatures of the prairie and
the sky.

~ HEN the red man first saw his horse
he was frightened at it. This was
W. about the year 1921, when Ferdi-
nand Cortes, the Spaniard, went to
conquer Mexico with three hundred soldiers.
Some sixteen of these were horsemen, and
just as Columbus was the first white man to
see the New World, so these were the first
horses to see the great continent.
The natives of Mexico, though far from
being timid people, gazed upon what was to
them a new creation in the animal kingdom
with awe and wonder They approached with
hesitating steps; they watched the Spanish
soldiers mount and ride with dumb amaze
ment; but when the little troop of horsemen
wheeled on the plain and galloped toward
them they turned and fed with cries Of ter
ror. Yet they were hunters of the buffalo
and the bear, and pursued these savage
beasts across prairie and river, with no means
of escape but their own agile limbs. As
years sped away the horses that the Spaniards
brought to help them conquer and Cypress
became of great assistance to the Indians In
protecting them against attack, for they soon
overcame their fears of the strange animal.
Finding home in the boundless prairie. The
horses rapidly increased in numbers until
they roved north and south and east and
west in vast herds. Then the red man went
among them with his lasso. By cunning de-

CONSERVATIVES SANAT0RIUM.
Urged at Conference of Charities and Cor
rection in Richmond.

Richmond. Va. May THE delegates to the
National Conference of Charities and Corrections
met to-day in five sections, which made their re-
spective reports at general meeting Tonight AT
the meeting of the public health section Frank j.
Bruno of Colorado Springs. Col, urged the estao-
Hshment of national sanatorium Tor the treat
ment of consumptives the most economic way
Of relieving certain bad conditions among sufferers
from the white plague. The people of Colorado
especially feel the need for more adequate pro-
vision for the treatment of poor consumptiVes, as
many go Colorado without sufficient financial
support They hope to find light work there while
they recovering their health. but are d1sap-
pointed.
Mr.. Bruno would have national sanatorlum
supported by private funds. rather than by public
foundation. and would have the institution CO.
ordinated in matters of finance and inmates with
the charity organization societies OF the country
At the public health meeting DR.. Charles r.
Grandy. of Norfolk, read paper on The Con-
sumptive Negro in which he showed that the
death rate had largely increased. Pointing out
the fact that this disease practically unknown
the DAYS of slavery he held that the spread was
due lack of nourishment, poor accommodations
and unwillingness to precautionary methods
for prevention. DR. Grandy declared that racial
prejudice was not responsible. quoting records to
that the colored death rate from tuberculosis
for 1907 was lower in Norfolk than in Boston.
Efficiency and net red tape was the keynote of
the address by Francis II. Mclean. field secretary
for extension of organized charity Mr. Mclean
spoke before the section on needy families and the
subject also discussed by c. c. Carstens. sec
