And the remarkably unpleasant thought tlaxbed uiKin mo thut 1 wh driving down under the dipping bush. But a spusnuxlic jerk from ly inker brought ni'i to the top once more, aud as I giiM'd for breath I heard bin voice; 'Shift for yourself catch hold of the bush I'm going!" I runght tlio branches an high up a possible nnd got a glance behind me. Tynckcr was not only going - ho wun gone, diving down under the bush, hav ing nucritlccd himself to keep me from like fate. 1 taw bin face disappearing beneath tho water; I heard tho deeaairtng cry of Kitty (roiu the bank, and letting go my own bold with one hand I thrust down ml caught tho poor fellow's collar aud turned a remarkably wild eye to theon- lookers. The old gentleman wa helph-sulv homing and running to and fro, but I aw bin niece rapidly unknotting from on the yielding twig, and with a con vnlnivo b ap iu the water had got a doa ble tutu of the scarf about my wrint. Of course I went tinder, but with a mind fully made tip upon two polnta thut nothing but deuth should tear me from my hold upon thut scarf of coiirxfl not! und thut if ever I waa to be pulled out alive Tynckcr should come too. I don t know how long I held my breath nn hub, 1 fancy, and then a rush of lire swept ucro my vision. 1 wun gone it struck me forcibly burning, exhilurnting sennution in my throat, and tho sound of a voice speak ing, as it seemed, many miles away. The voice drew clow) to me at a bound, and opening my eye I saw some one stooping over mo, brandy flunk in band and an expression of horror on bin face. Thut expression inntuntly van islu d on he caught my gaze. "Thie-one in ull right, Kitty; he in coming round fust. Here, take the Husk and give Tynckcr some more brundyl Cheer up; he will bo all right in a min ute." Homo suspicious sounds in my im mediate neighborhood canned me to turn my heud feebly iu the direction whence they were proceeding, and then I knew everything. Of course! We bad been in the river and hud been pulled out aguinl For there, on hi buck, even an I Ih)' on mine, lay Mr. Bob Tynckcr. nnd on her knees bcttido him, bending low over bin fuce, wan Miss Kitty Dobnon. And the golden nurf sadly changed for the worse luy midway between tin. One glance whh nulllcieiit to assure mo thut Mr. Bob Tynckcr wus nearly as far advanced on tho rond to recovery 84 I wun myself, nnd thut Minn Kitty held a most exulted opinion of bin late ex ploit. They made a pretty picture. But the old geutlemun's face grew cloudy nn he looked ut it. He leaned over me in irritated silence, brandy Dusk in bund, and I thought it wan time to sim-hIc "How nre yon, Dolmon?" I said, with a faint smile. "I am nfruid you don't recognize mu in thin draggled condition, but" "Why, so it is!" exclaimed the old gentleman. "It's Milileiihall! Why, how do yon como to be down here? 1 say," he continued iu a sort of stage whisper, und with a troubled look lit the ot hern, "I um veiy glud you hnvo come. I'm half afruid, an it in, you are too lute," "Too Into for what?" I nuked, trying to sit up uud presently succeeding. "Why, Unit!" ho whispered testily, nnd nodding bin heud iu a disturbed way in tho direction of the young peo ple. "Man, don't yon recollect thut you were to huvu the first say in thut sort of thing?" "So 1 wus," I rejoined, "uud I will spenk to Kitty ut once." "Uood!" said Mr. Dobnon. looking much relieved at my alacrity and cull ing the yiiiing lady. "Come here, Kit ty; thin gentleman here wunts to speak to you. Mr. Mildeiihull, Kitty," be explained grimly. It wan a very limp band that I man aged to get hold of nnd shake an heart ily as 1 could. Yon nee that I have lost no time in coming down to nee you, Kitty," 1 said, holding her bund tho while, ami think ing it best to plunge ut ouco in median ren. "Yon reach tho age of 20 toduy. don't you?" Yes, suid poor Kitty faintlv, and trying feebly to gi t her hand away, but I still held on. "There in something in a certain will which concern you and me. 1 want to talk to you about it." "Yes?" whispered pocr Miss Kitty, still more faintly and with another fte bio und futile attempt to druw her hand from mine. "Would not some other timo when yon lire dry?" "No, my dear," 1 said. "1 would rather do it now. You are a very pret ty ,'irl und a very brave and clever one, und you hnvo just saved my life with your scurf, nn I realize very plainly, sc that you will always hold u very dear place, in my heart. "And so 1 clinic to the conclusion" 1 couldn't help punning a moment ti enjoy her consternation "that 1 will have nothing mote to do with you ot your band, however earnestly you may oiler it tome" letting it gout lust.

The above information wus conveyed UAtlunta lust night in a presn dispatch, fluted at 81111 Antonio, Tex., which also stated that "Peg" hod signed a contract on Ha turd ay to furnish a wealthy plauting company in Mupiainia, Mexico, 300 laborers, to bo obtained from Georgia. "Peg" Williams is one of tho best known railroad men in Georgia, and ho has been instrumental in tho exportation of more worthy and worthless liegrws from thin ntato than any other half dozen men iu it. Ho is known, nnd intimnto ly, by every prospective darky exodnster in tho borders of the state, from the Blue Hidgo to Liberty, and to say aught agaiust "Peg" in the hearing of any ono of them is to luy yoursolf liable to trouble. Did "Peg" menu what he has been telling tho people out in Texas? Will ho really relieve tho southof 100,000 mem bers of its population within n few months, and, if so, how will he do it? Will hocolouizo and march them to the land of the greaser, or will he send them in specials prepaid all the way through? "Peg" Williams isVnown as a hustler, and wheu he undertakes to do a thing ho generally succeeds. If there aro 1 00, -000 uegroes in the south who want to go to Mexico that have tho necessary cash.

A year or so ngo, wneu the average Savannnhiau found himself iu possession of a copper cent, ho felt tempted to flip tho littlo coin into the gutter as a nuis ance. Cents wero unpopular. Nobody wanted them. Even the newsboys and the bootblacks disdained to waste time iu waiting for a cent in change. But things are different now. The little cop per coin cuts quite a figure in the city's circulation, and it is on much respected as the more pretentions nickel. Hardly a person fishes up a handful of change in which there is uot a plentiful sprin kling of bronze color. The reduced street car lures aud the odd cent prices in some of the leading stores have brought about the chiingo. and it is probably a good tbiug. People have come to nudemtaud th J value of a cent better thau they ever did before. Savannah News. Hatonlana. Mamma-Now. dear, the doctor'i gone, what can I do to amuse von?

Tho demolition of tho Astor mansion and the eipatriutiou of the ludy who so long nndsocliurrniugly presided over its hospitalities aro a remnrkublo outcome of the very remarkable series of events that have been happening in Kew York society. If ever a woman did seem to belong to New York und to have made her name and position inseparable from New York, that woman was certainly Mrs. William Astor. If asked a short time ago to say who was the woman least likely to give up her homo and distinction in New York, 09 people out of 100 would have suid Mrs. Astor.
