One of the most severe electrical
stroma that has visited this auction in
years ooeurred between two and three
o'clock last Saturday morning. The
flashes of lightning and roar of thunder
was frightful. In many instances a siz
sing noise like that of a' sky rocket could
,be beard with the flash. A heavy wind
'and much rain accompanied' Lightning
struck in several places but fortunately
did little damage. The closest call was
at the Scheidel building. A pole reach
ing several feet above the roof was fast
ened to the northwest corner qf the
building, and this pole was hit, following
it to the tin gutter which runs the en
tire length of the building to the north
east Corner at a pipe -which runs nearly
to the ground.' Shortly after this stroke
people sleeping in the north rooms over
the restaurant smelled smoke. Investi
gation disclosed a fire in the liquor room
in the rear end of Scbeiders saloon. The
door was broken open and the blaze
quenceh with n bucket of water. It was
a very close call for that block. H. P.
Stone's carpenter shop was bit'and tools
hanging on the wall and lying on the
beach were soaUered, but fortunaely no
Maze started. 'Many fruit and shade
trees in different parts of town were
blown down while others were denuded
of branches. But the rain was a glori
ous one and was appreciated by all.

Last Saturday evening a destructive
hail storm passed over the country
northwest of Monroe, extending ss far

"If I Select Yeur Bullet Rather Than
the. Rocks, What Then?"
ahip, yet he recognized anew her un
doubted claim upon him.
"Suppose I might just as well drop
out that way as any other," he reflect
ed, thoughtfully. "It's all In the game."
Lying flat, upon hhv stomach, both
arms extended, he slowly forced him
self beyond his bowlder Into the open.
There was no great distance to be
traversed, and a considerable portion
of the way waa somewhat protected
by low bushes. Hampton took few
chances of those spying eyes above,
never uplifting his head the smallest
fraction of an Inch, but reaching for
ward with blindly groping hands,
caught hold upon any projecting root
or stone which enabled him to drag
his body an inch farther. Twice they
fired directly down at him from the
opposite summit, and once a fleck of
sharp rock, chipped by a glancing bul
let, embedded Itself In his cheek, dye
ing the whole side of his face crimson.
But not once did he pause or glance
aside; nor did the girl look up from
thelmploring face of her dead. As he
crept silently in, sheltering himself
next to the body of the dead man. she
perceived his presence for the first
time, and shrank back as if in dread.
"What are you doing? Why why
did you come here?" she questioned, a
falter in her voice; and he noticed that
her eyes were dark and large, yielding
a marked Impress of beauty to her
face.
. "I waa unwilling to leave you here
alone," he answered, quietly, "and hope
to discover some -means for getting
you safely back' beside the others."
"But I didn't want you," and there
was a look of positive dislike in her
widely opened eyes.
"Didn't want meT He echoed these
unexpected words In a tone of com
plete surprise. "Surely you could not
desire to be left here alone? Why
didn't you want me?"
"Because I know who you are!" Her
voice seemed 'to catch In her throat.
"He told me. You're the man who
shot Jim Eberly."
Mr. Hampton was never of a pro
nounced emotional nature, nor was he
a person easily disconcerted, yet he
flushed at the-sound of these impul
sive words, and the confident smile de
serted his lips. For a moment they
sat thus, the dead body lying between,
and looked at each other. When the
man Anally broke the constrained si
lence a deeper intonation had crept
Into his voice.
"My girl," he said gravely, and not
without a suspicion of pleading, "this
Is no place for me to attempt any de
fense of a shooting affray In a gambling
house, although I might plead with
some justice that Eberly enjoyed the
honor of shooting first. I waa not
aware of your personal feeling In the
matter, or I might have permitted
some one else to come heve In my
stead. Now It la too late.' I have
never spoken to you before, and do so
at this time merely from a sincere de
sire to be of some assistance."
There was that in his manner of
grave courtesy which served to steady
the girl. Probably never before in all
her rough frontier experience had she
been addressed thus formally. Her
closely compressed, lips r twitched ner
vously, but her questioning eyes re
mained unlowered.
Ton may stay," she asserted, so
berly. "Only dont touch me."
No one could ever realize how much
those words hurt him. Not until he
had completely conquered his first un
wise 'impulse to retort angrily, did he
venture again to speak.
"I kope to aid you hi getting hack
beside the others, where you will be
less exposed." -
"Will youtake aim?"
"He Is dead." Hampton said, sober
ly, "and I can do nothing to aid him.
But then remains chance for you
to escape."
"Then I wont ge," she declared,
positively.
Hamptou'a gray eyes looked for a
long moment fixedly into her darker
ones, whllethe two took mental stock
of each other. He realized 'the utter
futility of any further argument' while
she felt lasUactlvelx the cool, donal-
