During the recent cold weather Tom

thrilling experience which has just come to light. Tom was
preparing to make a trip down the river to catch some fish for his old
friend, Billy Proctor. of Little Rock who had been sick for some
time. A Mrs.Thompson who lived a short distance down the river
was at Tom's house and asked him if he would take her to her
home. Mrs. Thompson had a small baby with her. As the were
entering the boat the boat lurched out toward the middle of the stream
and dropped Mrs. Thompson and her baby in 10 feet of water. By
the time Tom realized what had happened the boat had drifted quite a
distance from the struggling woman and the baby, but he plunged into
the river and reached them just as they were gong down. He faced
the problem of saving both at the same time because the mother would
not, of course, turn the child loose and even is she had the swift
current would have carried it down. It was no easy job, but after
struggling with the mother and child for some little time he manged to
land them on the river bank.
