A Slight Mistake.

CHUBB's clock got out of order one day
about Christmas time, and began to
strike wrong. That was the cause of the
fearful excitement at his house one
night. They were all in bed, sound
asleep ut midnight, when the clock sud
denly struck five. The new hired girl
happening to wake just us it began,
heard it and bounced out of bed, under
the impression that morning had come
and rs it is dark at five a. m. just at that
season as ut midnight she did not per-
ccive her mistake, but went down into
the kitchen and began to get breakfast.
While she was busting about in Il very
lively manner Chubb happened to wake
and he heard the noise. He opened his
room door cautiously and crept softly TO
the head of the stairs to listen. He could
distinctly hear some one moving about
the kitchen and dining room, and appar
entity packing up the china. According
" he went back to his room and woke
Mrs. Chubb and gave her orders to
spring the rattle out OF the front window
the moment she heard his gun go OIL
Then Chubb seized his fowling-piece,
and. going down to the dining room door,
where he could hear the burglars ut work,
he cooked the gun, aimed it, pushed the
door open with the muzzlc and fired.
Instantly Mrs. Chubb sprang the rattle,
Grated hired Girl the door was burst open
by two policemen, who came into the
dining-room. Seeing Chubb with II gun
and Il bleeding woman on the floor they
imagined that murder had been commit
ted, and one of them trottcd Chubb oil
to the station-housc while the other re
manned to investigate things. just then
the clock struck six. An explanation
cnsucd from the girl, who had only Il few
bird shot in her leg, and the policeman
left to bring Chubb home. He arrived
at about three in the morning just as the
clock was striking eight. When the sit
uatiou was unfolded to him his first ac
ton was to jam the butt of his gun
through the clock, whereupon it imme-
diately struck two hundred and forty
three and Chubb pitched it over the
fence. He has Il new clock now and
things are working better.

A Remarkable Balloon Voyage.

THEY who sail the air in balloons eX-
perience as great if not greater perils
than they who go down to the sea in
ships. The recent aerial voyage of NJ.
Durouf and his wife was fraught with
such appalling danger as to make it one
of the most remarkable in the history of
aeronautics. On the evening of the last
day of August they left Calais For $50
yards they sailed in northerly direction,
but their course was suddenly changed
to the northeast, and they stood out to
sea. Beneath them plainly glimmered
the beacons of both the English and
French light houses. No vessel was
seen upon the stormy waves and the
night was gathering fast. AS his course
indicated that he was making for En-
gland the imperiled aeronaut saw the
necessity of economizing his ballast and
passed the night in watching the extrem-
ity of his rope, seventy-seven yards long
Whenever it touched the water he threw
out small quantity of ballast, and, at
daylight, all the remainder of the light
ballast. For a time his situation was
nearly similar to that of the ancient
mariner, who was
''Alone, alone. ALL all alone
On a deep and boundess sea.
After time, being then a mile in mid
air, he sighted some small craft, and
rather than take the chances of being
driven northward by an air current he
decided to lower himself into the water,
hoping that he might be picked up. A
fishing smack seeing his maneuver en-
deavOred to cross his path. Into the
rough sea went the heavy ballast, and
finally the valve was opened and the
balloon descended until the ropes trailed
in the water. But the under current of
air swept the silken past the oaken YES
In 4
Still dauntless, monsieur cheered his
wife and preserved his own GOODNESS. To
stop the speed of the balloon in order
that small boat which had put off from
the fishing smack might reach him he
continued to spring the valve until the
car filled with water. Tremendous waves
dashed over the balloon and soon the
boat was lost to sight. After time,
however, it was again seen making for
the imperiled passengers with all the
vigor which lusty Drawn and willing
heart could impart. Madame was SO be-
numbed with cold that her husband was
compelled to hold her in his arms lest
she should be washed from the car into
the raging sea. Nothing but hope in the
oncoming boat saved his courage. Soon
she reached the car and took hold of the
balloon rope but was in danger of
swapping from the strong jerks of the
air vessel. The poor, corpse-like wife
was transferred with infinite trouble, her
husband the while endeavoring to cut
the ropes which held the inflated bag to
the car. Presently he was dashed
against the boat, luckily falling into it;
the balloon, relieved of the weight,
bounded up and was borne off toward
Norway, while the brave navigators of
the sea carried the rescued sailors of the
air safe into Grimsby, England.
