Her cries brought a young fellow nameci Jefferson on the scene, and, seeing her peril, he threw off his jacket and swam out to her assist- once. After a desperate struggle he , succeeded in getting her safely ashore. The grateful father made the brave rescuer a present of $10,- 000; took him into his business, and In the course of a couple of years allowed him to marry the daughter whose life he had saved. The holi- day on which that feat was per- formed was undoubtedly the luckiest in tho young man's life. A few years ago a young lady as- sistant in a Liverpool linen -draper's establishment was spending bee holi- days in the Isle of Man, when she was instrumental in saving the life of a little boy who had fallen into the sea. The mother, a widow from tIm neighborhood of Manchester, was most profuse in her thanks, but, beyond taking the name and address of the brave girl who had risked her, life for the child's, did nothing at the time to recognise (lecton-"I understand you said 1 Wari an 4001'4111. upstart.
