He felt a great stirring of the heart a8 he cast glances at the young lady. He felt the law in him being replaced by romance.

When captain, mate and crew of a steamboat are hired nothing is said of their jumping overboard to rescue people. It's 80 much per month and board. When a lot of passengers start from New York for Albany by boat, they figure on the fare alone. Jump- in® overboard should bring a rebate, bu. it doesn't. They are supposed to . keep dry while other folks drown. ' _'Thus it came about that when Miss Blanche's boat went over there was only one man to do the jumping act. That was Mr. Hosmer. He couldn't swim a stroke, and he wore & suit that was bound to shrink, but he didn’t even stop to throw down his hat. Down he plunked close beside the girl, ,who had caught her overturned boat with one hand and was smiling at a deckhand who was trying to throw a lot of iron pipes overboard to help float her, and when he came up from the bed of the historic river he was choking and gasping and strangling. | One hand was reached out, the fingers ; clinched in his hair, and when he had , been drawn to the boat the girl begm-I | Working it inshore.

Mr. Hosmer fell back in his chair and vowed that if he ever got . that squat man in the tolls of the law he would squeeze the life out of him.

Porters on chair and parlor cars get to know local travelers to a certain point. Of course, Mr. Hosmer figured that he must be more or less conven- tional. He must have an introduction in the regular way. He made a trip to the town above to get it, and even made an excuge to call at the house to see the father, but he was not in- troduced. He simply heard a rustie of skirts passing the half-open library door.

His feelings were bubbling when he |took the boat for the town above | with several desperate resolutions in | mind.
