At Ropes End Boy ReseueS
 Dog

NEW YORK, .Auly 25.-If Jimmie McKenna of Grant Avenue walks with a swagger today there are a lot of persons who will not blame him. He is a hero among the boys and the grown folks are proud of him. Jimmie is ten year old, freckled, and the son of policeman.
 All Jimmie did was to save dog, but wait until you know the story. A well dressed man, who appeared in toxicated, drove up in a. limousine to thirty-five-foot excavation for a hotel on the Grand Concourse, yesterday af- ternoon. Rain has left ten feet of water in the hole. The man had lit tie wirehaired fox terrier, white, with brown ears, under his arm. ! Walking unsteadily to the edge of the excavation the man deliberately 1 threw the dog into the water, went back to his car and was driven away. The dog whined and swan in circle. By twos and threes, men, women and children gathered on the brink of the hole to watch the efforts of the dog, which was rapidly tiring, to save i itself Finally, it found foothold on a submerged cross wall, but it's safe i ty was only temporary.
 Everybody was willing, but no one knew how
 Jimmie McKenna thought of way. He took off his shoes, his coat and shirt.
 Women uttered frightened protests because he was about to take chance and make the high dive into water that might not be so deep as was be- lieved. He faced the possibility of breaking his back his neck, though he is a good swimmer But before he could hop off Motorcycle policeman Al bert Cornis seized him and asked him if he were trying to kill himself.
 "I want the dog" explained Jimmie "and can dive fine"
 Yes" agreed the policeman, but you cant dive in there while I'm on the job sonny" There was a reas- surfing look in his eyes and the boys were not surprised when Corniss went to a nearby building removed 75 foot hoist rope, took turn around some timbers near the edge of the pi' and tied the end around Jimmie's waist
 By this time all motor traffic was halted for two blocks north and soutf and every car added it's quota to the spectators.
 Now. my lad, over you go," sait the policeman.
 In the loop Jimmie McKenna wa! lowered away till he entered the mud dy water He cast off the rope ant swan to the little dog. It reached out it's muzzle, wagging it's stump o ta lin welcome to it's rescurer. Jim mic swan to the dangling rope, hold ing the puppy clear of the water.
 Every motorist in sight offered t' aid in hoisting the beraggled pair t safety and a dozen helped. Ther were cheers from all sides when Jim mic appeared with the dog in his arms
 Jimmie holding the pup tightly looked at Policeman Corniss.
 "Can I have him mister?" he aske tremendously, and he hugged the do tighter The pup licked his face. Col miss looked at te two.
 "Ill say you can kid" said COrnis' and turned to pretend to be muc surprised at the. crowd.
 The mind of Policeman Oornis seemed not wholly on his, immediai , I'd like to put a paw on the Dir who threw that pup in there he sai to no one in particular.
 Policeman McKenna and his wife sa outside their home last night, highl pleased with the exploit of their sol Jimmie was playing wit his baseba team and the pup was running at hi heels.
 The team went into conference ol naming the dog.
