SAVED BY A FLASH OF LIGHTNING.
My name is Hunt. Yes sir; Au
lliony Hum. 1 nui a belt lor on this
Western prairie. Wilds! Yes, sir;
it's little else than wilds now,
but you should Imve icen it when I
and my wile lirat moved up here.
There was not a house within si;ht
fur miles. ftven now wc have not
many neighbors; but those we have
are downright good ones. To ap
preciate your neighbors a you
ought, sir, you must live in these
lonely places, bo lur removed Irom
the haunts of man.
What I am about to lell of hap
pened teu years ago. I was johi'f
to the distant town, or settlement,
to tell some lifly head of cattle line
creatures, sir, as ever you saw. The
journey was a more rare event with
me than it is now ; and my wife had
always plenty of commissions to
charge me with in the fhapc of dry
goods and groceries, aud such like
things.
Our youngest child was a sweet
little gentle thing. "who had been
named after her Aunt Dorothy. We
called the child Dolly. This time
my commission included one for
her a doll. She had never had a
real doll ; that is a bought doll ; only
the rag bundles her mother made
for her. For some days before my
departure the child could tall; of
nothing else or we, either, lor the
matter of that lor she was a great
pet, the darling of us all. It wa to
be a big, big doll, with golden hair
and blue eyes. I shall never lorgct
the child's words the morning I was
starting, as she ran alter me to
the gate, or the pretty picture she
made. There are some children
sweeter and prettier than others, hir,
as you can't but bayc noticed, and
Dolly was one.
"A very great big doll, please,
daddy," she called out after me;
"and please bring it very soou."
1 turned to nod a "jes" to her as
6hc btood in her clean whitcy-brown
pinafore against the gate, her nut
brown hair falling in curls about her
neck and the light breeze stirring
them.
"A brave doll," I answered, "for
my little one almost as big as
Dolly."
Nobody would believe, I dare
Bay, how full my thoughts were of
that promised doll, as I rode along,
or what a nice one I meant to buy.
It was hot often I spent 'money in
what my good, thrifty wife would
call waste; but Dolly was Dolly
and I meant to do it now.
The cattle sold, I went about ray
purchases, aud soon had no end of
parcels to be packed iu the saddle
bags. Tea, sugar, rice, caudles but
1 need not weary you, sir, with tell
ing of them, together with the cali
co for shirts and nightgowns, aud
the delaine for the children's new
frocks. Last of all, I went about
the doll, and found a beauty. It
was not as big as Doll)-, or half as
big; but it had llaxcu curls and sky
blue eyes, aud by dint of pulling a
wire- you could open or shut the
eyes at will.
"Doit up carefully," I said to the
storekeeper. My little daughter
will cry sadly if any harm comes to
it."
The day was pretty ucll ended
before all my work was done ; and,
just for a moment or two, I hcMtalcd
whether I should not stay in the
town aud start for home in the
morning. It would have been the
more prudent course, llut I thought
of poor Dolly's anxiety to get her
treasure, and of my own happiuess
in watching the rapture iu her de
lighted eyes. So with my
parcels iu the best way they
could be, 1 mounted my horse and
started. It was as " good and
steady a horse as you ever rode, sir ;
but night began to set iu before I
was well a mile away Irom the
town ; it seemed as if it were going
to be an ugly night, too. Again the
thought struck me should I turn
back and wait till morning? I had
the price of the cattle, you sec, sir,
iu my breast pocket : and robberies.
6ii , aye, and murders, also, were not
quite unknown things on the prairie.
lut 1 had my brace of surcpistols
with me, aud decided to press on
ward. The night came on as dark
as pitch, and part or the way my
road would be pitch dark beside.
Uut on that score I had no fear; I
knew the road well, every inch of
it, though 1 could uot ride eo fast
as 1 should have done in the light.
- was about six miles from home, 1
suppose, and I knew the time must
be close upon midnight, when the
storm which had been brewing
broke. The thunder roared, the
rain fell in torrents; the best 1 could
do was to'ridc onward in it.
All at once, as I rode on, a cry
6tartled me, a faint wailing souud,
like the cry of a child, lfoining up,
I sat still and listened. Had I been
mistaken ? No, there it was again.
But in what direction I could not
tell. I couldn't sec a thing. It was,
as I have said, as dark as pitch. Get
ting oil' my horse, I felt about but
could find nothing. And while I was
Ecckiug, the cry came again the
faint moan of a child iu paiu. Then
I began to wonder ; 1 am not super
stitious, but I asked myself how it
was possible that a child could be
out on the prairie at such an
hour and in such a night. Xo; a real
child it could not be.
Upon that came another thought
one less welcome : Was it a trap to
hinder me on my way and ensnare
me? There might be midnight rob
bers wbo would easily hear of my
almost-certain rido home that night,
and of the money I should have
about me.
T. don't Hunk, sir, T am more timid
than other people not as much so,
perhaps, a some; but I confess the
idea made mc uneasy. My best
plan was to ride on asfastas Icould,
aud set out of the mystery into safe
quarter. Just here was about the
darkest bit of road in nil the route.
.Mounting my horse, I was about to
urge him on, when the cry came
again. It did sound like a child's
the plaintive wail of a child nearly
exhausted.
God guide mc!" I said, undecid
ed -what to do. As L sat another
moment, listening, I once more
heard thccry.'faintcrand'morc faint.
I threw myself off uiy horse, with au
exclamation.
"Be it ghost or be it robber, An
thony Hunt is not one to abandon a
child to die without trying to save
it."
"But how was! lo save It? Jiow
find it?
the less could my bauds light on:
anything, save the sloppy, earth.
The voice had quite ceased now. so
T had no guide from that. While
I stood trying to'peerinto the dark
nese, all my cars alert, a flood of
sheet lightning suddenly illumined
the plain. At a little distance, just
beyond a kind of ridge or gentle
hill, I caught a glimpse of something
white. It was dark again in a mo
ment, but I made my way with un
erring instinct. Sure enough, there
iay a poor little child. Whether
boy or girl 1 could not tell. It
seemed to be three parts insensible
now, as I took it up, dripping with
wet, from the sloppy earth.
"My poor little thing! "' I said, as
I hushed it to mc. We'll go aud
find niamma. You arc safe now."
"Aud iu answer the child just put
out its feeble hand, moaned once,
and nestled close, to mc.
With the child hushed to my
breast I rode on. Its perfect silence
soon showed me that it slept. And,
sir, I thanked d'od that he had let
mc save il, aud I thought how gratc
Jul some poor mother would be!
But I was full of wonder for all that,
wondering what strange fate had
taken any young child to that solitary
spot.
Getting iu sight of home, I saw
all the windows alight. Deborah
had done it for mc, L thought, to
guide me home in safety through the
darhness. But presently I knew
that something must be the matter,
for the very few neighbors wc had
were gathered there. My heart
stood still with fear. I thought of
some calamity to one or other of the
children. I had saved a little one
from perishing, but what might uot
have happened to my own.
Hardly daring to lift the latch,
while my poor tired horse stood
still and mute out.-ide, I went slow
ly in, the child iu my arms covered
over with the flap of inv long coat.
Mv wife was weeping hitter v.
"What's amiss?" I asked in a faint
voice. And it seemed that a whole
chorus of voices answered mc :
" Dolly's lost !"
" Dolly lost !" Just for a moment
my heart turned sick. Then some
instinct, like a vay of light aud hope,
seized upon inc. Pulling the coat
off the face of the child I held, I lift
ed the little sleeping tiling to the
light and saw Dolly I
Yes, sir. The child I had saved
was no other than mv own my lit
tle Dollv. And I knew that God's
good angels had guided mc to save
her, and tiiat the first flash of the
summer lightning had shone just at
the right moment to show mc where
she lay. It was her white sunbon
nct that had caught my eye. My
darling it was, and none other, that
I had picked up on the drenched
road.
Dolly, anxious for her doll, had
wandered out unseen to meet mc in
the afternoon. For some hours she
was not missed. It chanced that
my two elder girls had ironc over
to our nearest neighbor's, and my
wife, missing-the child just after
ward, took it for granted that she
was with them. The little one had
gone on and on, until night and the
storm overtook her, when she fell
down frightened and utterly ex
hausted. I thanked Heaven aloud
before them nil, sir, as I said that
none but God and His holy angels
had guided mc to her. It's not
much of a story to listen to, sir. 1
am aware of that. But I often think
of it in Ihc long nights, lying awake;
and I ask myself how I could bear
to live on now, had I run away from
the poor little cry in the road, hard
ly louder than a squirrel's chirp, and
left my child to die.
Yes, sir, you arc right ; that's Dol
ly out yonder with her mother,
picking fruit; the little trim light
figure iu pink with'just the same
sort of white sunbounct on her head
that she wore that night ten years
ago. She is a girl that was just
worth saving, sir, though I say it;
and God knows that as long ns mv
life lasts I shall be thankful that I
came on home that night instead of
staying iu the town. Exchange.
