First
Philip Anson Is a boy of. 15, of good
breeding-, but an orphan and miserably
poor.
The story opens with tho death of his
mother.
Rich relatives have deserted the family
In their hour of need and when his
mother's death comes Philip Is In despair.
He looks over his mother's letters and
finds. that he Is related to Sir Philip nor
land. A few days later a terrific thunder
storm brews over London. At tho height
of tho storm a flash of lightning scares
a team attached to a coach standing In
front of a West End mansion. Philip,
who has become a newsboy, rescues a girl
from 'the carriage Just beforo It turns
over. A man with the girl trips over
Philip, in his excitement. He cuffs tho
boy and calls a policeman. The girl pleads
for Philip and he Is allowed to go after
learning that the man was Lord Van
stone. Philip thin determined to commit
suicide. He borrows a piece of rope from
O'Brien, a ship chandler, and goes to his
miserable dwelling In Johnson's Mews.

He stooped and ltlsBcd the pillow, nest
ling his face against It, as ho was wont
to fondlo the dear face that rested there
so many weary days. Then he resolutely
turned away, descended four steps of the
'ladder-like stairs, and tied the clothesline
to a hook which had been driven Into tho
celling during the harness-room period of
the room beneath. With equal deliberation
ho knotted the other end of the cord
around his neck, and he calculated that
by springing from the stairs he would
receive sufficient shock to become ln
senslblo very quickly, while his feet
'would dangle several Inches above the
floor.
Thero was a tcrrlblo coolness, a sel
tied fixity of purpose far beyond his
.grears, In the manner of these final prep
arations! At last they were completed,

At that Instant tho. room becamo ab
solutely flooded with lightning, not in a
single vivid flash, but In a trembling,
continuous glare, that suggested tho ut
feet of some luminous constellation, fierce
with electric energy; Beforo his eyes
was exhibited a startling panorama of
the familiar objects of his lonely abode
The brightness, so sustained and tremu
lous, startled him back from , tha very
brink of death.
"I will wait," he Bald. "When the
thunder comes I will Jump."
Even as tho thought formed In hla
mind a ball of fire so growing, so iri
descent In Its flaming heat that it domi
nated the electric waves fluttering In the
overburdened air darted past tho lltt e
window that looked out over the tiny
yard In the rear of the house, and
crashed through tho flagstones with tho
din of a ten-Inch shell.
Philip, elevated on the stairway, dis
tinctly saw the molten splash which ac
companied Its Impact. He say the heavy
stones riven asunder as if they were
tissue paper, and, from the hole caused
by tho thunderbolt, or meteor, came a
radiance that sent a spreading shaft of
light upward like the beam of a search
light. The warmth, too, of tho object was
almost overpowering. Had not the sur
rounding walls been constructed of ston?
and brick thero must have been an Im
mediate outbreak of fire. As It was, che
glass In the windows cracked, and Hhe
woodwork began to scorch. " In the aa'oo
Instant a dreadful roll of thunder swopt
over the locality, and a deluge of rain,
without any further warning, descends.
.All this seemed to the wondering boy
to be a very long time In passing. In
reality It occupied but a very few sec
onds. People in the distant street could
not distinguish the crash of the fallen
meteor from the accompanying thunder,
and the downpour of rain came In the
Very nick of time to prevent the wood

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Any Shade
Don't stay gray! Here's a sim
ple recipe that anybody can
apply with a hair brush.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to Its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 0 cents bottle of
"Wyeth'i Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
It darkens the hair so naturally and
tvenly that nobody can tell It has been
applied. Tou simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, It becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
toft and abundant. Advertisement.

torlos from blazing forth Into a disas
trous fire.
The torrent of water .caused a donsa
volumo of steam to generate In the back
yard, and this helped to mlnlmtzo tho
strange light shooting up from the
cavity. Thero was a mad hissing and
crackling as the rain poured over tho
meteor and gradually dulled Its bright
ness. Pandemonium ragod in that curi
ously secluded nook. ,
Amazed and cowed not by the natural
phenomenon he had witnessed, but by
the interpretation he placed on It the
boy unfastened the .rope from his neck.
"Very well, mother," ho whispered,
aloud. "If It is your wish I will live. I
suppose that Qod speaks In this way."
Philip descended the stairs. He was
choking now from another causo than
strangulation. The steam pouring In J
through the fractured window panes was i
stifling. He took off his coat, first re-1
moving from an inner pocket the bundle
of letters found under Mrs. Anson's pil
low, and carefully stuffed tho worn gar
ment Into the largest cavities. By this
means he succeeded somewhat In shutting
out the vapor, as well as the lurid light
that still flared red In the back yard.
Tho lightning had ceased totally, und
the Improvised blind plunged the room
Into Impenetrable darkness. He felt his
way to the stairs and found the candle.
which he relighted. The rain beating on
the roofs and on the outer pavements
combined with the weird sounds In the In
closed yard to make a terrifying racket.
but It was not likely that a youth who
attributed his escape from a loathsome
death, self-inflicted, to the direct inter
position of Providence In his behalf
would yield to any sentimental fears on
that account. Indeed, although quite weak
from hunger, ho felt an unaccountable
elation of spirits, a new-born desire to
live and Justify his mother's confidence
In him, a sense of power to achieve
that which hitherto seemed Impossible.
He even broke into a desultory whist
ling as he bent over the hearth and re
sumed the laying of the fire abandoned
flvo minutes earlier, with such sudden
soul weariness. The candle, too, burned
with cheery glimmer, as If pleased with
tho disappearance of Its formidable com
petitor. Fortunately he had some coal

In a small bin at the other sldo of the
yard, beyond the burial place of the rag

quite unapproachable.
Soon the fire burned merrily, and the
coffee stall keeper's recipe for using cof
fee grounds was put Into practice Philip
had neither sugar nor milk, but the hot
liquid smcllod well, and he was now so
cold and stiff, and he had such an empty
sensation where he might have worn a
belt, that some crusts of bread, softened

earned keener appreciation than was ever
given In later days to the most costly
ensues or famous restaurants yet un
built.
After he had eaten he dried his damp
garments and changed his soaked boots
for a pair so worn that they scarcely
held together. But their dryness was
comforting. An added feeling of con
tentment, largely induced by the heat of
the grateful fire, rendered his actions
leisurely. Quite half an hour clansed
before ho thought of peeping through the
ba'k window to ascertain the progress of
external events. The rain was not now

was still falling, but with tho quiet per
sistence that marks In London parlance
"a genuine wet day." Tho steam had
almost vanished. When he removed his
coat from tho broken panes ho saw with
surprise that the flagstones In tho yard
wore dry within a circle of two feet
around the hole mado by the meteor.
Such drops as fell within that area wero
Instantly obliterated, and tiny Jots of
vapor from tho hole Itself betrayed the
presence of the fiery object beneath. His
boyish curiosity being thoroughly
aroused, he drew an old sack over his
head and shoulders, unlocked a door
which led to the yard from a tiny scul
lery, and cautiously approached tho place
where the meteor had plowed Us way
Into tho ground. Tho stones wero lit
tered with debris, but the velocity of tho
heavy mass had been so great that a
comparatively clean cut was mode
through tho pavement. The air was
warm, with the hot breath of an oven,
and It was as much as Philip could bear
when ho stood on the brink of the holo
and peeped In.
At a good depth, nearly half his own
height he estimated, he saw a round
ball firmly Imbedded In the earth. It was
dully red, with Its surface all cracks and
fissures as the result of the water poured
onto It. Much larger than a foot ball,
It seemed to him, at first sight, to be
the angry eye of some colossal demon
glaring up at him from a dark socket
But the boy was absolutely a Btranger
to fear. He procured the handle of a
mop and prodded the meteor with It.
The surface felt hard and brittle. Large
sections broke away, though they did
not crumble, and he deceived a sharp
reminder of the potency of the heat still
stored below when the' wood burst Into
sudden flame.
This ended his investigations for the
night He used the sacking to block up
the window, replenished the fire, set his
coat to dry, and dragged his mattress
from tho bedroom to the front of tho
fire. The warmth within and without
the house had made him Intolerably
drowsy, and he fell asleep while mur
muring his prayers, a practice aban
doned since the hour of his mother's
death.
In reality, Philip was undergoing a
novel sort of Turkish bath, and the
perspiration Induced thoreby probably
saved him from a dangerous cold. He
Gladness
Uy WILLIAM 1 KIRK.
Gladness was made for children, not for men,
Yet all men love to eeo a child at play,
Knowing no past and rovollng In today,
With baby playthings scattered o'er the den;
And all men pause a whilo and wonder when
The gladness from tho child will steal' away,
Leaving the world as desolate, and gray
As when the Truth camo to tholr oldor ken.

And rises not to hug his toys again
That bids this lie farewell, and this llfe'a Joys.

Blept long and soundly. There was ;o
need to attend' to tho flr'o.' Long ero the
coal In the. grate was exhausted the pres
ence of tho meteor had penetrated the
surrounding earth, and tho house was
far above Its normal temperature when
ho awoke
The sun had rlson In a cloudless sky.
A lovely spring morning had succeeded
a night of gloom and disaster, and the
first sound that greeted his wondering
ears was the twittering of the busy spar
rows on the housetops. Of course, lie
owned neither clock nor" watch. These
articles, with many others, were repre
sented by a bundle of pawn tickets
stuffed Into ono of tho envelopes of his
mother's packet of letters. But the ex
perience of even a few weeks had taught
htm roughly how to cstlmato time by the
sun, and ho guessed tho hour to bo 8
o'clock, or thereabouts.
His first thought was of the meteor,
His toilet was that of primeval man,
being a mere matte; of rising and
stretching his stiff limbs. While lacing
his boots ho' noticed that tlio floor was
littered with tiny whlto specks, the
largest of which was not bgger than a
grain of bird seed. Theso were the par
ticles which shot through tho broken
window during the previous night. He
picked up a few and examined them,
They were hard, angular, cold to tho
touch, and a dull white In color.
On entering the yard he saw hundreds
of theso queer little rough pebbles, many
of them as large as peas, some the size
of marbles and u few bigger ones. They

the window, had fallen back to the
ground. Interspersed with them he found
pieces of broken stone and Jagged lumps
of material that looked and felt like Iron.
By this time the meteor Itself had
cooled sufficiently to reveal tho nature
of Its outer crust. It appeared to bo nn
amalgum of the dark, lron-llko mineral
and tho white pebbles. Through one deep
fissure ho could still see the fiery heart
of tho thing, arid ha imagined that when
the Internal heat had quite exhausted It

How Hungary Was Enslaved
ny HEV. THOMAS H. JltEaOIVk
The treaty of Carlowltr, concluded 215
years ago January 2, VSH, between Tur
key and the allied powers, forged UiC
chain from which tho land of Kossuth has
never Bine been
able to free Itself,
Twp years beforo,
September, 1097, at
Zeuta, tho great cap
tain, Eugene of 8a
voyi had adminis
ter e d a crushing
defeat to tho Turks,
and It was becauso
of that dofoat that
tho treaty of C'arlo
witz becamo pbssl-
ble. It was the first
consultation of the
powers oyer the
"Blck Map," who la now Just about
breathing his lost. The treaty finished
up the good work that hud been bo
gun by Sobrlskl at Vienna In 1683, und
henceforth the Turks ceased to bo a
danger to Christian Europe.
But "Christian Europe," through its
representatives at Carlowltz, having paid
Its respects to the Turks, went on to
commit an unpardonable crime against
a sister nation. They gave Austria tno
wholo of Hungary with the exception of
the Banat of Tlmesvar. In other words,
they deliberately, and In cold blood,
robbed a people of their liberties and
made them the political slaves of a na
tion that had no claim upon them except
the ono thnt Is born of the lust of grnol
and dominion.
The Infumy of this transaction appears
all tho deeper and blackor when one
stops to think of the services that Hun
garlanr had rendered In the causo of
Europe against tho Turk. Who that
knows history can ever forget the name
of the "Oreat John Hunyady," who, with
his Hungarians and their allies, In 1453,
dealt tho Turks that terrlblo blow beforo
Belgrade, defeating their army of 150.CJO
men, utterly routing It, Inflicting uum
it a loss of 40,000 killed and many thou
sands of prisoners. After beating SI u rail
to a finish at Belgrade Hunyady In
vaded Turkey, beat tho Moslems In bat
tle after battle, cuptured Sofia and forced
tho sultan to sign a treaty by which ho
gave over all clulms to b'ervia and sava
over Wallachia to Hungary.
It was the very first experience in tue
way of defeat that the haughty Invaders
had ever met with, and thpy never forgot
It. And It was administered by Hun
gary tho land that was robbed ot i s
freedom by the conscienceless sr ami's
who presided at tho Carlowltz conference.

How to Make the Best

JL Family Supply at Small Coat,
Bind Fully Guaranteed.
Wake a plain' syrup by mlxlnc one
pint of granulated sugar and pint of
warm water and stir for 2 minutes.
Put 2 ounces of pure Pinex (flftv
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and fill (t
up with the Sugar Syrup. This gives
you a family supply of tho best couch
ivrup at a saving of $2. It never spoils.
Tuke a teaspoouful every one, two or
three hours.
Tho effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con-
3uer an ordinary cough In 24 hours,
t tones up the jaded appetite and it
just laxative enough to be helpful in
a cough, and has a pleasing taste,
Also excellent for bronohlal trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough ana
sposmodio croup.
This method of making cough remedy
with Pincx and Sugar. Svmp (or
strained honey) is now used in more
homes than any other cough syrup.
ThiH explains why it is often imitated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Pinex, which is a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
