The theological student was, howev
er, us brave as a combined African
lion and Julius Ciesar. Being a good
swimmer, bo amused himself by va
rious aquatic feats until the lady re
appeared, when he grasped her hat
tightly iu his left hand and struck
out for the shore. He made such
rapid progress tlnd ho glauced
around to see how it was possible
that a woman weighing seventy-one
pounds could be dragged so easily,
when, to his great surprise, lie found
that she had separated from her hat,
and had sunk for tho second time.
Hastily thrusting the hat into his bo
som, careless of the pain inflicted by
innumerable hair-pins, ho waited for
the reappearance of tho lady, and
etermined that this time lie would
secure a firm hold. Iu a few min
utes she rose to the surface iu a re

man, seizing one of her feet, resolved
to tow her ashore before attempting
