OWN the North Rivér floated the giant white cake of tee. It was one of fifty large and small ice cakes that flecked the black water, from the New York City bank to the Palisades. On the western side of the river the cliffs arose, dark and slab-like, under the winter night, fringed with lines and dlots of electric lights at the sum- mit. To the east, the billion lights of the city threw a lurid glow on the sloudy skies. In the direct path of the ico cake something was churning the water| with increasingly feeble strokes. Above the surface panted the drip- ping head of a man, the water freez- ing at the edges of his dank hair, The man was making for th> ice cake and Aighting desperately to stem a swirl- ing cross-current which seemed bent on sucking him down. A yard or two to the left of him another head was cutting the surface —a long, triangular head—a head which clove the swirl of the tide with far more ease than did the man's. For a dog swims by nature and a man ; by teaching, and nature is more po~ tent than any human teacher. The man, with a final struggle, reached the oncoming tcefloe. He threw an arm over its slippery edge and sought to heave himself up on it. The effort took his last atom of sorely | tried strength. And a cross current caught his legs, dragging him back. Weakly he clawed for a purchase on the slippery floc. Then, slipping, he lost his hold and went under. The huge ice cake went over his head. * It was then that the dog went into ion. Diving, he caught the soaked Rak cotiar of the sinking swimmer, Up came the two, their heads smiting the bottom of the floe. The impact drove them downward again. And again the dog put forth all his mighty strength to bring the man to the sur- face. Once more they arose, this time just im the wake of the floe. The |dog had no power or skill to hoist |himself up the high side of the ice loued lay wearily panting, while the| lerasping hand. His numb fingers |chanced to close around a tree branch, deep imbedded in the ice. The con- tact gave him new hope. | With a mighty heave he threw a} leg over the edge of the floe and, with | his final strength, heaved himself! onto it. There he lay, panting and | sick with fatigue and cold, his| drenched clothes beginning to freeze to the floe. * | It was a whimpering gasp that brought him to himself. The dog had saved him from drowning, But the, cake, Wherefore he swam along be- hind it, striving to keep up and grow- ing more tired at every stroke. The man got to his knees. Grasp-| Ing the branch with one hand he peered into the blackness, Presently he could make out the shape of the triangular head. Leaning far out he gripped the dog by the shaggy fur of the neck and, bracing himself, drew the struggling beast up over the edge and to the safety of the floe. There, for a space, rescuer and res- ice stiffened on them and the chill bit deep into thelr bones. At last the man sat up. Then he got to his feet, stamping and waving his arms to bring back some of his deadened cir- culation. The dog too sprang up at sight of his master's action, revealing him- self as a huge tawny and white col- lic. The man stooped to pat the col-| lie's icy wet head. | “It was touch and go, Scotty,”’ he) mumbled. “I'd be somewhere down yonder in the eel grass by now if you| hadn't dived for me, old friend. And Tn not forget tt in a hurry. Even if I was so done up that I forgot to haul you aboard till you were ynearly | drowned, That's the way with us humans. We may forget our dogs in| time of stress, but they never forget us, Yet we have souls and yor col- lies haven't!" The dog wagged his plumed tail ap- preciatively.

A merry choice of fu- tures, eh, Scotty? We''—— He broke off suddenly to listen. Out ‘1922, of the river silence came the purr of ja motor boat. Out of the murk ap- peared the slim shape of a craft fast overhauling the floc, The man drew in his breath to shout for help. But there was no need. The rapid little motor boat was ranging along- side, the single figure at the wheel manoeuvring it cleverly to avold the sullen lurches of the ice cake, “Here!” called a woman's voice out of the gloom, “if I range her along- side, do you think you can get aboard without swamping her? How many of you are there “Two,” answered the man. “My. dog and myself. We were crossing the Fort Lee ferry. I was on the afterdeck. I bent to look at something in the water. And I lost my balance.

Balancing himself man forced his obey the brain's sharp command. He stepped across, then lost his balance and fell flat in the bottom of the boat. Something big and furry landed on top of him, Scotty had made the jump with far more grace and pre- cision than had his master. The lit- tle boat careened nastily under the dual impact, but righted itself as the man scrambled onto the nearest seat. Even while he stammered his thanks for the rescue and tried to make out the woman’s face through precariously the ventun N TERHUNE.- — 44 We misset | I was just warping into the boathouse Try to step from the highest | chilled muscles to, and over he was asking himself: “Why should a girl be out on the river in a pleasure craft on a night like this? And why should a toy boat like this carry a powerful night glass in its locker?'* Aloud he was saying: “I won't try to be maudlin or melo- dramatic by telling you that you've saved my life, But I think you know T can never repay what you've done. I Nonsense!"’ laughed the girl—and he noted she had a delicious laugh— “there wasn’t any danger to me and it was exciting. I must get you and before you both get pneumonia.’ “My name is Brenner,"’ said the} man, “Roy Brenner. Not that it |matters. My collie is Scott, He's better worth knowing than I am.

Where I go he goes. And I have no other acquaintances in the East. He keeps me from being lonely." They were on the narrow, little dock, all three of them.

By Ruth Snyder. If the dear legislators have thelr way—and— If the poor misguided city folk emergé untainted from the meat chop- per of reform which is hashing the country just now— ‘This is what will happen: ‘The latest reform measure to ooze out from the reformers’ grinders aims tv banish the shimmy, the turkey trot, the bunny hug and all types of cheek-to-jowl dancing. The bill Is ready to be introduced at Albany at the instance of Canon Chase of Brook- lyn. This bill, which has been pronounced as.one of the most remarkably word- ed attempts to regulate through statute the conduct of the individual, defines exactly in what manner the young gentleman shall approach his prospective partner when proposing a whirl around the dance hall; how he shall encircle her waist with his arm, and where the palm of his hand shall rest upon her back; how her arm shall drape ttself around his shoulder, and how far apart they should re- main while the dancing progresses, specially prohibiting cheek-to-cheek positions. But this is not the first carefully phrased bill which has been introduced et Albany, Washington or elsewhere. This is an era of reform. Congressman Herrick started the movement some time ago when he in- troduced a bill providing for the elimi- nation of beauty contests. But he spoiled his cause by attempting to show the fallacy of beauty contests by inaugurating a beauty contest of his own. Perhaps all these other reform meas- ures will tread the same path. For example, here are some of the most recent bills: Bil to compel churchgoing.—Massa- chusetts. Fi Bil to stop ‘rushing’ maiiege.—New York.
