Only Means Clutches
for Him.

Gary, Ind, Sept. 25.--Miss Ethel
Smith, the young woman who was
burned seriously when a spark from
the motorcycle she was riding ignited
her clothing, has accepted the offer of
William Rugh, crippled newsboy, to
give her his leg, the skin of which
will be grated on her own limbs,
Physicians declare that unless such
ap operation is performed the girl will
die.
"It is wonderfully heroic" said the
girl, tears streaming down her cheeks.
II want to live, but he mustn't do it
if there is the slightest danger. Even
my life is not worth such sacrifice
on his part
Several of Miss Smiths friends vol
unteered and physicians have taken
as much skin as they dared from their
bodies and grated it upon the girl
The maximum of skin from 40 per-
sons, they declare, is needed to save
her life. The cuticle from Rugh's leg
will be sufficient they believe.
The boy read the story of the acct
dent in the papers he was selling.
When he learned that more skin was
needed, he decided to make the sacri-
fee for the girl he never had seen.
The doctors told him that to remove
the skin from his leg might mean his
death.
Then take the Leg" said the lad. 81
don't need it. 1t will mean only that
I must have two crutches instead of
one. My leg has been useless since !
was years old, anyway"
But the amputation may kill you,"
interposed the physicians. "Oh, I'll
take a chance" said the lad. That's
better than standing around and let
ting the girl die, isn't It? The fact
that I've never seen her doesn't make
any difference to me-"
