and she feared it.. She had seen it
many years before, when he had heard
Of the death Of u man who had stood
iii his path.
When he stopped before the door
and saw her Mt the window, he leer-
ed. Without stopping to put up the
horse and sleigh, he strobe int the
room and stood before her laughing.
| It was not that pleasant laugh
which sends the blood Of the listener
dancing through his veins, till in

1t was such laugh rs i'll becomes

The base nature Of this man stood
revealed before her in all its black
ness as he said, chuckling:
"hly obstinate Ruth, you will never
marry Fred Bailey, for he is dying"
There was no effort to soften the
blow, there was no pity for her in his
heart. There is lightning in the sky,
and such men are not struck dead.
Oh, little Ruth, bear up; be not

man. Probably you would have
given her credit for nothing but
sweetness. You would have dcclar-
cd her q lovablc piece of lovcliness.
She had such mild blue eyes, such
y good natured, dimpled chin, that
the thinncss of her lips, indicating
irmncss, was easily overlooked.
Her name was Ruth Rand. To
Fred Eailcy it was the dearest in all
The world. IF you had seen her sit
ting, with her head OH Frcd's should.
CT, you would have guessed that she
entertained the same opinion Of his
name.
She had loved him long. She made
no effort to conceal her happiness
when he told her his hearts secret
AZ naturally rs a river toward the
ocean, her love turned toward his
love and gave itself away.
Fred was a thoroughly good fel-
low, worthy Of this little woman. We
could say nothing stronger i'll praise
Of him!
Ruth was past wenty-one. Her
parcuts had died when she was n
child. Her uncle, Michael Rand,
had been her guardian up to the
time Of her matu rity. She still lived
with him, and submitted to his
authority. This by force of habit.
There are some natures whose free
dom from obstnacy is often mis-.
takon for want Of fiji mness their dis
like Of conflict for weakness. When
great occasions arise they surprise us
by their determination.
Such one was Ruth Rand. AL.

We answer the interogatory in the aft

itself. What benefit do we derive
from it? LIZ almost every part Of our
city toward evening our citizens are
compelled to encounter the most filthy
smells, and inhale an aroma which
carries with it the seeds of pestilenee.
There are privies and sink holes which
deserve the attention Of the Board
without delay A terrible stencil
comes over TIE city, from the direction
Of the slaughter house which with
out doubt emanates from that source.
Now let our Board of Health Get down
to business and remedy the evil we
speak OF before we have occasion to
mourn the death of an hundred little

solote by disease engen dered by the
corruption floating through the atmo
sphere in infnitesimal particles.
If we would have health, we must

Terrific Thunder Storm The
Catholic Church Spire Strurk
and terribly Shattered.- One Of
the severest thunder storms we have ex-
perienced this season visited our city
last Sunday night The clouds threat
eued fearful storm during the late
evening, but it was nearly one o'clock
before the storm burst upon Us in all
it's fury, continuing nearly the whole
night. Continual flashes of vivid
lightning Illuminated the heavens,
and the peals of thunder were terrific
till daylight. One clap more terrible
than all seemed to shake the city S
foundation, following binding flash
almost instantly It was evident that
the bolt burst in this immediate vicin /
ty, but where was not known till morn
ing revealed the fact that the stately
spire of the Catholic Church had been
rett, aud the body of the building
terribly shattered.
We visited the church at abou s
o'clock We found the bolt had pene-
trated the spire just below the cross,
tearing away and melting the tin Gov
erins, thence travelling down the inter
ior of the spire tearing away the brac-
ing, after which it seemed to have sub
divided into innumerable currents shoot,
ing hither and thither, devastating
the frame work, demolishing the
colored glass, and tearing the plaster
ing and scattering it with portions OF
timbcrs throughout the body Of the
building. The large timbers placed
tically, supporting the spire
were more or less injured, one being
shattered into ''kindling wood" The
sheathiug on the north side of the
steeple was nearly all torn off, and
scattered for rods about the building.
In the inside of the building, particu-
larly in the vestibule, masses Of -plas-
tering and splintered wood lay in con-
fusion One of the currents seemed
to tear along the ceiling rieoehettlng
after the manner Of a spent cannon
ball, tearing loose small portions of
plaster here and there till reaching
the top of enc Of the tall columns near
the altar where it tore the cap away
and passed off doing no further dam
age. The damage is estimated at ST.
900 and some parties place it at 40
90. The church was e.of the finest
and most spacious in this section Of
the state, and It's disfgur ement and very
general demolition is regrette d by all.
Undoub tedly it will be repaired al
once.
