but missed his object and fell into
the deep water, going under twice.
Cherry, who was on the bank
nearby, realizing the Woodford boys
danger, quickly shed his clothes and
SWAN to the rescue. Being a good
swimmer and strong for his age, he
soon reached the exhausted lad, who
was going down for the third time,
and pluckily brought him, half-dead,
to the bank. Restorative measures
were quickly used and the boy
brought back from the edge Of the
unseen world into which, but for
the Cherry boys bravery, he would
surely have gone.
Young Woodford was taken to the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Woodford, near Paris, where
he was soon all right again. Com
