plainly seen by all
The report wa3 true. The jam
wa3 held in place by a single timber
a great square stick, doubtless
torn by the angry waters far up the
country. If that could be cut the
bloc kade wonld be broken, the ice j
would no longer clog the stream, and j
the mills wouiu le eaved.
For a moment silence fell upon
all: then suddenly Mr. Watterson 's
voice, hoarse and thin, rang out J
alove the noise of the storm, and
the war of the waters:
whs an ice jam, piled block upon tcrowu I'rukt imu u uu curer, uuiu
block: until" it towered high in the! men and women; but Jerry wasted
"A thousand dollars to the man
who will cut that timber!"
The women in the group looked
at each other and shuddered; the
men fixed their eves on the dam
but no one replied. The rear of
the angry stream increased, and the
waters deepened beneath the mill
walls.
"Two thousand dollars !"
Th? proprietor's voice was hoarser
than before; but the women closed
their lips firmly and shook their
heads. The men moved a little un
easily, and one drew his hand across
bis mouth, as it he would have
spoken; but still no one replied, and
the white foam from the imprisoned
river was tossed by the winds against
the lower windows of the mills,
while the corners of the buildings
were already beginning to crumble
and waste iway before the grinding,
merciless ice.
"Three thou"
"I will go!"
The two voices sounded so closed
together that it was not until the
crowd turned theireyes upward and
saw the one who had answered, that
thev fairly understood the reply.
Kunnii'g from a third story win
dow of the lower mill directly across
the river, above the dam, was a long
endless chain used to convey power
from the mighty water wheel of the
U11JI3 to the machinery of a little
box factory located upon the oppo
site bluff. This chain was at rest
now, and there appeared at the win
dow near it the figure of a boy, in a
blue blouse carrying in his hands an
ax. Ho it was who said, "I will
go !;
When the people saw him, and
realized what he was about to at
tempt (for already he had fastened
a rope around his body and was

when they realized this, a great

and the women cried out in terror,
while many turned to Mr. Walter-

"Who is he?" asked the proprietor
in a dazed manner.
"It's Jerry, sir, Jerry the bobbin
Iniy," said a man, stepping forward.
"An orphan, sir, an' strivin' to care
for his sick sister."
"Jerry ! Is it Jerry?" cried Mr.
Watterson, turning quickly. "Then
he shall not go," and he waved Ids
hand and shouted toward the win
dow: "Go back! Go back !" .
But already it was too late, for,
with a little cry, the boy dropped
from hi3 perch and hung swinging
above the roaring, grinding ice, the
rope which supported him sliding
slowly downward along the chain
toward the centre of the dam. The
breathless crowd, the stricken pro
prietor, could only watch and wait
now.
Slowly and unevenly the looped
rope from which Jerry was suspend
ed slipped link by link, down the
sagging chain: slowly his feet near
ed the great mass of ragged ice be
neath. At length, when directly
over the center of the dam, just
above the long beam which held the
jam, allowing the rope to slide quick

hand, he dropped j

The Difference in Girl.
When the world is so full of young
people who are too smart, and who
are continually asserting themselves,
and showing that they want to have
something to say, it is pleasant to
occasionally meet a real modest
yonng person, who would rather
suffer inconvenience, and torture,
even, than to make any fuss. This
was noticed more particularly dur
ing the last rainy day, when the!
heavens seemed to be weeping over
the loss ot the sun, which had notition occurred.
been seen at its "accustomed haunts
for over a month. An old man got
into a street car with his umbrella
as wet as it is possible for an um
brella to be. The seats were all full
and be closed his umbrella and.put
the point down on the lloor, as he
supposed, but in fact he put it right
into the low shoe of one of those
sweet, modest girls, right on to her
stocking, and the dirty water more
than poured down into the shoe.
At first she looked as thongh she
would move her foot, and call his
attention to what he was doing, but
she seemed to relent, and with a re -
signed expression, as though she
hoped he was not going to ride
many blocks or perhaps somebody
would get out and give him a seat,
she looked out of the window. Once
she moved her head as though she
would look down at her shoe and
see how near full of water it wtis,
but again she thought better of it,
and looked across the car at the man
with a wart on his nose. Altera
few minutes she began to shiver,
which was conclusive evidence to
some that the water was coming up
around her instep, and gradually
overflowing the banks. She looked
as though she feared that if she
spoke to the man about it he would
think her very forward, and that
she was guilty of an impropriety in
speaking to a
stranger without an
introduction. Finally she became
nervous, and when a girl l.' gir.s to
get nervous something ha got to be
done.
Siie blushed and touched him on
the hand that held the umbrella
handle with her little fluttering fin
ger and said:
.May 1 ask you, sir, without
seeming to be impolite, to do me a
favor?"'
"Why, certainly, mi.-s." said the
old man, as he looked down at her.
"What is it?"
"Will vou please take vour um-
! brel!a out of mY shoe. fur a n,-
meni, anu lei me mice me sr:oe ou
and empty it?"
"For heaven's sake, miss, was my
umbrella in your shoe? I beg par
don," and he took it out.
-It's of no consequence at all,"
saitl the little lady, as she turned tip
her shoe on the side and let the
black cambric water out "There,
you can put it right back, or if you
would prefer a dry shoe for your
umbrella you can put it in this oth
er one."
But the old man blushed and
moved off to the end of the car, and
stepped on another girl's foot. The
other girl was not that kind ol a re-

Some Gallant Perd.
The dispatches from Alexandria
enlarge upon the wonderful devo
tion and extraordinary bravery of
the gunner on board one 01 the
! British vessels who picked up a
snell with a burning tuse and im
mersed it in a bucket of water. This
was a corageous act, but it was not
"more gallant than anj'thing of the
sort ever before chronicled." Dur.

At Stone River when Croft s Brig-
age of Palmer's Division was pur
suing the routed rebels on the L'd of
January, they came suddenly on a
reserve battery that opened on them
with surprising fury. Tle men were
ordered to lie down, :md dropped
into the solt mini 01 a cornfield.
The rebel artillerymen had the
range, however, and poured shot and
shell into the advance line in a way
that tore some poor unfortunates in
pieces and covered nearly every one
with mud. In the midst of the ter
rific fusilade a shell struck between
1 two men lvinsr flat on the ground so
! near to their heads as to stun both.
j Dozens of men, the bravest there,
closed their eyes in anticipation of
the terrible scene that wotml follow
the explosion. But one of the sol
diers at whose shoulder the smok
ing shell had struck, digging up a
handful of mud, held it aloft for a
moment while he cooly said: "Ten
to one, boys, she don't bust," and
with a sort of gleeful agility he
brought his great wad of mud down
on the shell smoking in the shallow
hole, and "she uidnt bust." No
one thought George Hunt, of Co. C,
first Kentucky Infantry, a hero lor
doing that.
but possibly he ranked
as
high
as the courageous gunner I
on the Alexandria.

Another case: When Sherman was
! getting ready for his move on At
lanta great quantities of amunition
were stored in the railroad sheds at
Be.-aca. One day in the midst of a
thunder storm that dismantled the
camp, the amunition building was
struck by lightning. Hundreds of
the bravest soldiers ran blindly away
ns thev saw the boxes of shell
thrown about, saw the guards drop
as if shot and saw smoke issuing
from the top of the great pile of ex
plosives. But one man, clear-eyed
and cool-headed, saw that the smoke
came from tow in which the shells
were packed, and, climbing to the
top. seized the burning mass, and
holding it up shouted: "All right,
boys; no fireworks this time." llis
intrepidity and alertness saved the
amunition and possibly many lives,
and his record should be kept as
green as that of the gallant gunner
of the Alexandria. Intrf-O-rnn.

Charles Carleton Coffin, in his
"Boys of "01," relates the following
incident connected with the Poto

before the Battle cf Gettysburg.

rode, into the village mounted on a
farm wagon. His load wis covered
with taUe-eloths.

farmer.

"Well, you're a man to be proud
of, ain't you ? I've a mind to tip you
out of your old bread-cart. It would

table-cloths, and replied :

danced for joy. The bread and
cakes were gone in a twinkling.
"See here, mv friend, I take back

hands with the farmer, who sat on
his wagon half laughing, and yet so
pleased and happy that he could do
something for the soldier, that he
was almost as much inclined to cry.
