VANCING WITH OFFICIAL
BLUSTER.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED?" HE
DEMANDED. "18 ANYBODY
, HURT?"
THE MAN ANSWERED:
to restrain tlielr maddened unlmala from
adding tlio havoc of blind charges
through tho streets to, the general con
fiiBlon caused by the warring elements.
Telegraph und telephone- wires became
not only Useless, but dangerous, and tho
suburban train service was consequently
plunged Into-a InliRlo from, which It was
not extricated until midnight.
So general was tho confusion, so wldo-,
spread the public alarm, that thq sudden
cessation of the uproar at S'o clock caused
more- prayers of thankfulness to bo ut
tered In the metropolis than had been
beard for many a day. But worse re
mained. ThUH far tho lightning had been
appalling, brilliantly lurid, but harmless.
At 10 o'clock tho storm ranged again,
this -time without-the preliminary down
fall of rain, ani tho lightning, though
less sensational In uppearance, was de
moniac In effect, levying a toll on hu
man lives, causing fires and general dam
ago to property, accounts of which filled
many columns of tho newspapers next
morning. This second outburst was suc
ceeded by heavy nnd continuous ruin.
I At tho hour when tho theaters emptied
their diminishing audiences Into the
streets London, wore its normal rain
sodden aspect? It was hot Until the fol
lowing day that peoplo fully understood
the magnitudo and terrifying results or
the luter display.
About a quarter to eight, while the
first storm was ut Jt height, a carriage

j Kid square and pulled up outetdo a man-
slnn cast Ih tho ftereotyped mould qf the
early Victorian period. The horses, over
fed nnd underworked, had been rendered
frantic by the drive through the park
from the further west, fortunately, they
knew this halting pluco or .the coachman
would never have succeeded in stopping
them. As It was, thoy sweated whlto
with fear, und the footman shouting t.
the occupiyits of the carriage that he
could not, attend to the door, ran to thMr
heads niter giving a vigorous tug at the
house bell,
A boy; lull and thn, r.id scantily at-
j tired for uch weather, who had taken
, sneiiijr in tho dark portico of the man
r
ran forward to offer- h's service
at the carriage door- A bundle of evening
rapers. covered with a piece of Hacking,
somewhat Impeded the uso of his left
hand. Rid, ot Is happened, In his right
he held a lurge bun on which he had Just
commenced to dine
Boforo ho coul'd turn tho handle the
carriage door opened from the Inside. A
Iran sprang out
"Get out of the war," he said, m
patiently, and the newsvov obeyed, glud
that he had not followed, lilm first Im
pulse r.d flung away the bun.
A vivid flash of lightning made the
hnrrea rear and plunre. .
"Look sharp. Rlf! cried the stranger. In
no more cardial toce. "Oather your wraps
and Jump out. On n night like this these
nervous hrutfs "
A peal of thunder that rattled the win.
dows Interriiped him. The two nnlmals
reared nnd backed with one accord. The
plucky footman, hanging onto tho cross
bars of the Mtts, was lifted off his foet
and banged violently agnlnt the pole. He
was forced to let go, nnd fell, staggered
backward some yards before h droppod
There was a smafh of Iron and wood, and

mcnt. The boy, quicker to note that. the.
breaking of the pblchad given a moment
ary respite, "rushed Into thq roadway,
throwing away both precious bun and
still mnro precious stock of unpold
papers.
lie wrenched the other door open nnd
ehnuted:
"This way, madam! 1 Quick!"
"Madam" was quick. She sprang rlgit
Into his arms, and proved to be a girl of
12 or thereabouts, drosscd all In whlto
nnd wrapped In an ermine cloak.
Over went the cat r logo with a fcaful
crash. Tho coachman managed to Jump
from tho box Into thp roadway. He re
tained the reins Rnd whip In his grasp,
nnd now, losing his temper, lashed the
struggling horses savagely. This cowed
them nnd they ceased their antics.
The boy nnd tho girl found themselves
standing on tho sldowalk. close to the
j tulntd vehicle.
"You havo saved my life!" said the girl,
sweetly, and without any traco of the
1 nervousness which might naturally bo
expected after such a narrow escape
from a serious accident.
Tho boy noted that her eyes were largo
and blue, that she wore a great shtnlng
ornnment in her hair, and that; she ap
peared to be dressed. In somewhat fanci
ful manner, though the big clpak she
wore cohcoaled tho details.
T.ic door bf tho mansion optned and
servants came running out.
Suddenly the boy received a violent
Mow on the side of tho head.
"Confound you'" shouted the rr.an who
had fallen on -the pavement, "why didn't
you get out of tho way when I told youT"
The boy, astounded by such recogni
tion of his timely help, made no reply,
but tho girl protested vehemently.
"Oh, uncle," she cried, "why did yoti
strike him? He got me out of the car
riage Just before It turned over. He did,
indeed!"
Another vivid flash ot lightning 11
lumlned the scone. It lit up tho group
with startling brilliancy. The boy, still
comewhat shaken by tho vicious blow,
was nevertheless able to see tho pale,
hnndsomo, but dissipated features of his
rnruged nsrallant, whose evening drew
nnd Immaculate linen were soiled by tho
black mud of the pavement. Tho girl,
dainty and fnlry-llke. a little maid of
arlstoerotlc type, and of a beauty that
rromlscd much In later years, was dis
persed now and almost tearful.
Through the crowd of frightened
iervantB. augmented by a few daring
pedestrians, a burly policeman. glgantl
In waterproof overalls, was udvattclnj
will) official bluster.
"What has happened?" ho demanded,
"is anybody hurt?"
Thn man answered:
"Jly horses were startled by the storm.
1 Jumped out and was endeavoring to
extKcnto my niece when t his wretched
boy got In the way."
"Uncle." protested the girl, "you closid
the door on me and the boy"
"Shut up!" he growled curtly. "Go In
side the house!"
But his niece shared with him at least
one characteristic. .She possessed the
fumlly temper.
"I will not go away and let you say
things which are untrue. Listen to me.
Mr. Policeman. Lord Vaustone did close
the door because he thought the carriage,
would turn over on top of him. For
some reason the accident did not happen
mmediately, and the boy ran round to
the other sldu and helped me out Jutt In
t nie.
"C onfound the brat I th nk ho was the

GIRL. "YOU CLOSED THE DOOR
ON ME, AND THE BOY"

real cause of tho whole affair. Why was
ho hiding In my doorwnyl"
Lord Vntjstoho was more enraged than
ever by tho. glrl'H obstlnute defense of her
rescuer and her Insistence on his seem
ing cowardice,
"I was not hiding. 1 only took shelter
from tho storm. I tried to help yon bo
cause the footman was struggling with
tho horses. I do not claim nny credit for
elmply opening a door and helping tho
young woman to alight, but I lost both
my dinner nnd my papers In doing so."
Every ono experienced a shock of sur
prise nt hearing the boy's elogant dlotlon.
Tho policeman looked puzzled. He In
stantly understood, tho facts, but dared
not browbeat an earl.
"You do not bring any charge against
him, my lord?" he Bald.
Hut his lordship deigned no reply. Ho
told tho coachman, to arrange for tho
.removal of tho carriage, grasped his
tilece by tho arm and led her, still pro
tenting, Into the house.
The policeman aw the bundle of papers
scattered over the roadway and nenr
them the partly eaton bun. After a
wrench at his garments ho producod a
penny.
"Here," ho said to tho boy. "Uuy an
other bun and be off. Jt's good Job for
you the young ludy spolfo up the way
she did."
"Bho merely told the truth. That mun
wob a llnr."
Uofusing tho proffered penny, the boy
turnod on his heel. The poUceman looked
after him. j
"That's a queer kid," he thought.
"Talked like a regular young gent. I
Wonder why ho Is tolling papers. Poor
lad! Ho lost a bob's worth at loast, and
small thanks he got fpr It."

I was talking to a man last nlte that is
ninety years old & still vary uctlv &
hclthy, scd Pa. Ho tould inn that the
reeson ho had lived so long Is bnckauB ho
has made It a practice always to sleep
In the open air. I have thought the
thing oaver, sed Pa, & 1 belocvc it wild
be a good Idee for all three of us to sleep
out doors. Of course, If you & llttcl Hob
ble nro not willing, he scd to Ala, I wud
dent go so far us to command you ware
to sleep, but 1 at least ant going to sleep
out doors A I think It wud bo a grund
thing for (i II of us.
That Is about as foolish a noshun us
yure hibernating In a tree to talk off
yure fat, as you spoko of the other nlte,
sed Ma. As fur myself & Ilttel Hobble, r
think that sleeping Indoors Is good anuff
for us. Jf you want to make n mild

Jest you watch me, se Pd. It Is nine

fix up a bed on the porch I shall talk a

Hut the account could not havo been so

For nearly a month Moore wus fighting
every day with tho largoly auporlor num

f Bhtlng. was obliged to Join battle with
Eoult. Tho dttermined assault of the
French marshal was handsomely repulsed,
und in the midst of the victory Moorci re
ceived the woMnd that hilled him.
A flper place of manhood than Sir John
Moore thn annals of his race cannot show.
Mod ett. faithful, supremely unsnUlsh,
I rave without being rash, and with in eye
single to tho prorcr rorformance of what
he bel eved to be h's plain and simple
duty, he received and mei-ittd his coun

No better advice could possibly be given
to a young man than to 'say to him
