Then the cruel un dertow swept arms and legs anil all swiftly out, so that when Miss Dolly Patterson, of whose anato my these excited limbs were a part, reappeared on the surface, she was away beyond the line ol breakers trying to gain a foothold on a bar. In a moment a big roller raised her from her place and carried her out into deep water. It was in vain that the plump arms clutched whole handfuls of water. The little heart palpitated faster than ever, the hands and legs grew weaker and weaker, and the little girl thought one very brief prayer, with the “amen” vciy near the- “Our Father,” but it was ter ribly earnest for all that, Dolly was drowning.
