friend , lJarr ' E. Schoenut , a lad of 1G.

and along the side oC a roe ley ravine.
The Id't.ter ' gave but a poor footing to
pedestrians , and In jUI11Iing across a
rift between two boulders Schoenut
sUpped and fell. There was an angr '
whln' ap rattle of sound , and before
he could sa\'e himself the fangs of It
rattlesnulw were fastenell In Schoe-

into his hole beneath the roel. , but al.

terrified , Schoennt Ileclared that he
was dying , and implored his Cmp'an-

ger. Miss Ernst , however , tore the
young man's sleeve from his arm , and ,
appl'lng her lips to t.he wound made
b- the rattler , tried to sucl { out the
poison. This she did I1t imminent
peril to hm'suIr , as she knew , because
a cut on her own Up brought her into
the most dangerous contact with tbo
poison. Once during the operation the
Intrepid girl cut a gash in Schoenut's
arm , "to make the blood como faster , "
ns she afterward expressed it. The

years ago by one of these freshets
that so often occur in that part oC the
coul1tr ) ' . In Its c urse the Hood had
torn an unwieldy barge from its
moorings. Alone on board was Howard -
ard McCarney , a youth who coulll not
swim. His old-time friend , James 'V.
Gilmer , who had worked with him for
years on a towboat , saw the tlylng .
barge , Imew tlmt McCarney was 011 It , I
and Imew , too , that the runaway vessel -
sel was heading for a great dam a
short distance below on the river. It
meant certain deuth to McCarney i [
some quick act was not carried out to
save him. GUmer jumped into a sldIT
anc1 raced aCtor Ule barge. McCarney
had a long start of him , an the sound
of the waters foaming over the dum
reuched Gilmer before he was wol1
under wa ' in his little craft. He
hoped to get near enough to the barge
for McCarney to jump Into the skiff ,
and then together they could row to
the shore. But the barge was going
too swiftly , In the eddying currents
the sldf ! was too unmanageable , and
before he coulll reach him Gilmer saw
I
his friend hurled over the rapids. .
.
abo\'e the dllm. So appalled was he.
at the fate of his friend that he forgot
his own safety. He fioated down to
the dunger point , jumped from UIO
sltiIT Into the boBing flood-and the
dead bodies of the two frlonds went
down the river side by side , A bronze
medal and $200 hus heen awarded by
the commission to Gilmor's Cather In
commemoration of his son's daring
act.
