and rOwed with all speed toward the
spot where the swimmers had gone
down.
They reappeared presently, only to
sink again, and poor distracted Mrs.
Perry, looking on, thought that the
men in the boat would never reach
their destination. But they finally did
just as the two reappeared. In few
minutes the victims were safe in the
boat, but not without a little difficult
work on the part of the rescuers.
When the boat reached shore, a
great crowd gathered around, Mrs.
Perry and the children being the first
to reach the unconscious forms that
were lifted out and laid on the beach.
1t was some time before either showed
signs of resuscitation, but Phil was
the first to open his eyes.
He inquired for his companion, and
told how he was getting on splendidly
when he was seized with a cramp, and
then he thought that he and the old
man would surely drown before aid

'HoW's the kid that pulled me out?"
he asked the man who was working
over him. He's a brick, he isl"
I'm all here" answered Phil, rising
to a sitting posture with his mothers
help. The old man thanked him for
his bravery and heroic assistance, and
told Mrs. Perry it was too bad her
son wasn't fighting cover there" for
he'd surely get all the decorations that
were ever conferred
See here one of the life-savers
broke in, next time you go in bathing
leave your overcoat behind. You
must be a little off to wear d thing
like that"
The old man protested that he was
afraid he'd take cold without it, and
the life-saver was heard to mutter
something to the effect that fellow
with so little brains had better be at
the bottom of the ocean.
Both victims of the water were as
sisted to their respective homes, and
Phil was looked upon and treated as a
great hero by his folks. Ted in par
ticular considering it an honor to wait
on his brother as he lay in bed, for
his mother insisted upon his staying
indoors for a few days.
BY the time Mr.. Perry came for
them in the machine at the end of
the week, they were all eager to go
home. They had had a good time,
but they were sunburned and rather
tired Of the beach. So home was very
welcome.
Some weeks later Phil went to the
mountains with some friends, and on
this outing, too, met with consider
able misfortune. For he fell and
sprained his leg, besides getting a
severe dose Of poison-oak.

tut she could not help smiling at his

but she could not help smiling at his
words.
Then, like flash, Phil bounded
back toward the water and soon was
ducking and diving among the break
ers where he always felt at home, for
he could swim well.
He struck out with mastery
strokes, while Bess and Nell and little
Ted, who was still padding and
having bushels of fun" watched him
with admiring eyes as he rose and fell
with the pillows.
Presently cry for help rang out
over the water. The attention of
everyone was turned toward the di-
rection whence it came.
Help. Help" came in terrified,
imploring tones, but the owner of the
voice could not be seen.
Mrs. Perry sprang to her feet much
alarmed at the call for aid, for she
knew that Phil was out there some
where in the water, and perhaps was
in peril. Then she noticed an old
man rise to the surface and fling out
his arms, and she recognized the odd
parsonage who had gone into the
ocean with an overcoat.
Someone was rapidly swimming
toward the man, who was evidently
exhausted. Help" came family for
the last time, and his would-be rescuer
redoubled his efforts to reach the
drowning mans side.
20 mother!" Bess and Nell fol
lowed by Ted came running to Mrs.
Perry, who was anXiously scanning
the waves; its Phil that's swim
ming out to help the man, isn't it?'
And then Mrs. Perry recognized her
son battling with the pillows in his
endeavor to reach the struggling
figure.
20 Phil" she exclaimed, clasping
her hands. Children, let us pray that
no harm will come to him."
The crowds on the beach were anX-
iously gazing seward. The drown
ing man had sunk again when Phil
reached the spot. When he re-
appeared, the boy was seen to seize
him.
The crowd began to cheer loudly,
as a minute later Phil turned toward
the shore with his half-drowned COM
panion. He was making good prog
ress when presently the lad seemed to
struggle as though exhausted, and
then the spectators gasped as they
saw the two begin to sink and dis
appear beneath the waves.
Now the life savers, who for some
reason had not responded to the cry
Of distress, quickly got out their boat,

PILLS VACATION

AS much as the children enjoyed
school days, they were far from sad
at the advent of vacation, and looked
forward to the fun which always &C
companied that delightful period
Of course, it was not their intention
to be idle. So they started in to aid
the Thrift Stamp drive, and among
them all they collected quite sum
for the cause of liberty.
Mrs. Perry, the mother of the chill
dren who appear in this story, de.
cided to take them down to the beach
for a few days, and this announce
ment was greeted with much delight
for an outing at the ocean never fails
to appeal to every boy and girl.
So with keen zest they packed UP
their things, and Roger took his
kodak to get some snapshots They
went down on the electric car, but
Mr. Perry said he would come after
them with the auto at the end of the
week.

pleasant little cottage in sight of the
ocean.
This was the first time four-year
old Ted had seen the great body OF
water, and when they walked down
to the beach after lunch, the small lad
stood and gazed in mute astonish
ment at the vast expanse.

TISZA EXPLAINS THE
 ECONOMIC ALLIANCE

Amsterdam, June 5.--A dispatch re- ceived here from Budapest says that in the Hungarian Interhaus Wednesday, Count Tisza, former premier, strongly supported the idea of strengthening the alliance with Germany because the origin of inc war, was the result of plot directed at the mutilation of the dual monarchy and more especially of Hungary. and that the support af- forded by the allies of .he dual mon archy had enabled the plot to Le crushed and thus had safeguarded Hungary's integrity.
 Moreover. Count Tisza said. Hungary had received financial support from Germany and there were strong eco homie reasons connected with Hun garian agriculture interests for pre- serving the alliance in order to secure market for Hungary's raw materials at remunerative prices in the Teuton allied countries.
 Premier Wekerle. in welcoming Count Tisza's statement. declared that the alliance remained defensive in character. It was not a question of an alliance between princes but betwce., nations. in regard to economic agr ce- ments he believed high agricultural tariffs would not be maintained
 As regards the entry of other states. Premier Wekerle said they must ass sure to themselves a free decision and that their sovereignty must in all cir cumstances be preserved

OFFER CANNED
 GOODS FOR TROOPS

Washington, June 6.-So many pa- triotic housewives have offered to sup ply canned and preserved fruits and vegetables to the government that the food administration tonight issued an announcement explaining why the of. fefs cannot be accepted and empha- sizing the necessity for the continu- ance of canning and preserving for civilian use.
 The statement points out that no governmental department is permitted ny law to accept any article without paying for it and says that even if home preserved foods could legally be bought, their purchase would be inn possible because of the difficulties con nected with inspection and the neces- sity for close packing to save space in ships.

GERMANS MAKING
 CONSTANT RAIDS

W2th the British Army in France, June 6.-(By the Associated Press )-Nu- merous raids are being attempted by the Germans along the British front with the purpose of taking prisoners, from whom the enemy perhaps hopes to learn whether the battle of the Aisne has brought about any change in the dis position of the allied troops.
 Several raids were started last night. They proved costly failures. At o'clock this morning the gray coats essayed raiding thrust near Morlancourt. They found the British ready. The Germans were repulsed with considerable losses
 Raids also were undertaken northeast of Hinges and east of the Nieppe forest They not only were beaten back, but the enemy left prisoners in the hands of the British There is no change in the situation along this front.
 Unceasing artillery duels continue at various points, but the infantry is in- active except for minor operations.

 BORAH WOULD STOP SECRET DIPLOMACY

Washington, June 6.-Debate on the Underwood resolution to limit debate in the Senate during the war opened today with speech by Senator Borah of Idaho, republican, in support of his amendment, providing for the con- sideration of treaties at open sessions of the Senate.
 Senator Borah said the world war had it's origin almost exclusively in secret diplomacy. If the great mass of German people had been permitted to know the facts before the war, he declared, there would have been no opportunity now for the Hohenzollerns to be conducting their propaganda to convince them that the war was forced upon them. He added that he believed the United States had suffered because the causes leading up to Americas en- trance into the war were not generally known until outlined by President Will son in his message to Congress just prior to the war declaration.
