A STORY OF THE SEA.

I have just heard• a-, delightful story of the sea (writes the Paris correspondent of the London “Telegraph”), i Telling it will ,do me good, and listening to it will not hurt my readers this weather. Last summer a young J lady was bathing at Berek. All of a sudden she heard a child scream, and 1 saw two imps in a small boat drifting out to sea. She ran over to the boat —the water was only up to her waist —and siie pulled it in. A man who saw her, an old mdn of venerable aspect, hurried up and congratulated her. Mdlle. X. is a very pretty girl. Ho asked her mamma for her name and address, and a few .months ago the young lady was given a silver medal with a tricolour ribbon for saving life from drowning. She went to Borek with her mamma again this 1 year. So did M. le Secretaire do la I Societo de Sauvefage, the man who had handed her 'the silver- medal at the Sorhqnne a fdw months'ago. Yesterday he saw Mdlle. X. puffing and t blowing, with the 'help of the bathing ii woman, in four feet of water, and asked her watchful mamma what the ii young Indy was doing. Mamma point- 6 ed proudly to the silver medal on her pretty daughter’s costume. “She is p learning to swim, now,” she said.
