NOBLE ACT.

There was an old Scotsman floating in a skiff on the headwarters of Loch Goil. He was fishing—fi>-h mighty fine up that way. He had a boy in the boat with him, who kept looking in the water till he overbalanced and disappeared. Quicker than I can tell you the o'd mau had his coat off and dived for the boj. He brought him up all right and then rowed for the bank. When they got out dripping, of course, a strange , who had' Teen the whole b»«n», plimented the old man on his heioic ilt "He is a son of yours?'' queiied the stranger. „ "No, no, sir, no son ot mine. "Nephew, then?" "No, sir." "Cousin?" . )( "No, no cousin. ... ' Then you deserve all the noi'3 credit for saving his life." • " Well, I don t know ibo.it tl < ; t, -n. You s-ee he had all the i .ut m h.s pocket."'
