into bis Office ho was approached from behind
by Warren Head, who dealt him several muir
derous blows over the head with a club, and
inflicted severe injuries before being disarm-
ed by bystanders. Head is about 80 years
old, has been considered harmlessly insane
for some time past, and held grudge against

was severely injured, and the result would
have been much worse had it not been for by

Lightning.

Mr.. Franklin was one of the greatest
men that ever lived. He could carry n
loaf of bread in each hand and eat
another, all at the same time, and he
could invent anything that anybody
wanted, without hurting himself or cut
ting his fingers. His greatest invention
was lightning. and he invented it with
a kite. He made kite with sticks
made out of telegraph wire, and sent it
up in a thunderstorm till it reached
where the lightning is. The lightning
ran down the string, and Franklin col
lected it in Il bottle, and sold it for ever
so mu h money. So he got very rich
after while. and could buy the most
beautiful and expensive kites that any
fellow ever had.

We made a tremendously big kite,
and the first time there came thunder

wet, and il came down before it got up
to the lightning. So we made another
and cosered il with white cloth that
used to be one of Mrs. McGinnis's
sheets, only Tom said he knew she
didn't want it any more.
We sent up this kite the next time
there was a thunderstorm, and tied the
string to the second-story window

CHAPTER XII.



The heat of August faded into the
milder warmth of September, and the
vacations were over; work and the
autumn sessions at school and college
began again. Grace Massey and
Thekla Berghaus returned from Foul
haven, the one TO her home. the other
to her lodgings and her studies, faster
friends than ever; while Mabelle and
her sister had to begin their work
again, the one her lessons, the other
her teaching. The only difference
seemed to Ice that Philip was away, and
that his letters came like angels visits,
few and far between; often delayed,
very irregular, owing To the outland-
ishness of the place to which he had
gone, and the precariousness of his
means of communication with the out
SIDE world. Ii was naturally to An
geIa that he wrote most often and most
freeley, and Angela had a way of re-
ceiving these epistles with calm PEN
sive Indifference, and of smiling gently
at their glowing language, and, per-
hapS, not mentioning that she had
heard from him, but letting the fact
come out casually in the course of con-
versation, which habit drove Grace
Massey, TO use her own expression,
nearly wild" In vain Thekla tried
to pour balm on the wounded spirit,
by suggesting that Angela could not
know by instinct how intensely dear
Philip was to his sister, nor how the
latter felt the separation, and longed
for news of him--that such knowledge
must come with time, and no doubt
would so come.
'Never, / tell you!' was the uncom-
promising reply. ''She does not know
how 1 love him; and she knows how
she hates me, and / feel that every
time she torments me by Withholding
news of Philip, or doing it out as if she
grudged it, or cared nothing about it,
she knows she is tormenting me and de-
lights in il.
ii don't think you have any right to
say such things" replied Thekla,
''and Mt least it is quite evident that
she considers herself engaged to your
brother, for she answers his letters un-
failingly; it must be so, or YOU would
hear of il from him.
do you suppose she would ever Lot

manners. tell you am right" said
TRACE, doggedly. IAN can say is, |
wish IT were over. in one way or an
other. and that Philip belonged to me
once again, or to some woman worthy
of him.
Ihekla made no answer to this, but
TRANQUILITY pursued her work, and
Trace heart sank. for she had lately
oegun to notice certain signs and tokens
ABOUT Thekla, and to say to herself:
"Of course she can not wait forever.
and f--but nothing shall ever make
me quarrel with her, and il Is that
woman's fault. not hers"

1t didn't rain for long time aftcy
that, and I nearly forgot all about
Franklin and lightning, until one day I
heard Mr.. Travers read in the news
paper about a man who was found living
dead on the road with bottle of jersey
lightning. and that, of course, explains
what was the matter with him, my dear
Susan. i understood more about it
than Susan did. for she does not know
anything about Franklin being a girl,
though will admit it isn't her fault
You see, the cork must have come out
of the mans bottle. and the lightning
had leaked out and burned him to
death.
The very next day we had a tremen-
dous thunder-shower, and told Tom
that now was the time to get some
lightning that would be stronger than
anything they could make in New Jer-
sey. so we got the kite up, and got
ourselves soaked through with water
We tied it to the window-ledge just as
we did the first time, and put the end of
the string in n tin pail so that we could
collect more lightning than one bottle
would hold. 1t was so cold standing by
the window in our wet clothes that we
thought we'd go to my room and
change them.
All at once there was the most awful
flash of lightning and the most tremen-
dous clap of thunder that was ever
heard. Father and mother and Sue
were downstairs, and they rushed up
stairs crying the darling boy is killed.
They meant me. But / wasn't killed.
neither was Tom, and we hurried into
the room where we were COLLECTING
lightning to see what was the matter.
There we found the tin pail knocked
into splinters and the lightning spilled
all over the floor 1t had set fire to the
carpet, and burned hole right through
the floor into the kitchen, and pretty
much broke up the whole kitchen stove.
Father cut the kite string and let the
kite go, and told me that it was as
much as my life was worth to send up
kite in thunderstorm. You see so
much lightning will come down the
string that it will kill anybody that
stands near it. know this is true, be-
cause father says SD, but I'd like to
know how Franklin managed. / forgot
TO say that father wasn't bit pleased.

Tin Mines in North Carolina.

Considerable interest has been aroused
by the reported discovery of tin in North
Carolina. Meager accounts have been
published in the Northern press. The
discovery was made by a young man,
Robert Il. Claywell, the son of a mer-
chant of Morganton, N. c., while at
tending school at Kings Mountain.
Claywelps bent for mineralogy was de-
veloped when lad through his accom-
panying Prof j: L. Humphrey, the dis
coverer of the precious gem hiddenito
in his mineral explorations through the
State. Claywell noticed the peculiar
mineral about a year ago and collected
several specimens of it. His examine
tions showed them to contain tin. He
sent some OF the ore to the Carolina
exhibit at the late exposition st
Boston. where it attracted much atterS
ton. An analysis of IL gave percent
age of tin as high rs seventy per cent.
The locality of the discovery IS Cleve-
land County, N. c., rear Kings Noun
tain Station, on the Airline Railroad,
from Charlotte, TO Atlanta. The prop
erty is about four miles from the battle
field of Kings Mountain.
The conformation of the country
thereabout is undulating. The outcrop
ranges about fifty yards wide, runs
through Kings Mountain village, and
is traceable about one and half miles.
Its trend is northeast and southwest.
The soil formation is decomposed mica
schist Where the stratum is exposed
it shows an irregular vein of quartz as
ISOLATED with rutile, toUrmaline and tin
ore in crystal form scattered through
it. The property is owned or controlled
by w. L. r. Bell, of Kings Mountain,
DIR. Charles w. Dabney, State Chemist.
of Raleigh, Judge A. c.. Avery and
Robert L. Claywell, of Morganton.
The development so far has been incon-
siderable. chiefly confined to prospect
ing for the vein. The showing. how
ever, is very encouraging. Trenches or
cross-cuts have been run in four places.
exposing the strata These disclosed n
more or less irregular and broken vein
surface. One of them showed vein
about three feet wide, with another
eightecn-inch spur vein leading toward
it. This main vein was sunk upon
some fifteen feet, and was found to run
nearly vertically through partially dis,
integrated slate, tending to grow solid
with depth. The quartz and vein mat
ter grew solder with depth. The re-
cent continuous rains made it impracti.
cable to do much sinking with the
present facilities, but the evidences thus
far point to the existence of true vein
and mineral in place.
The formation and association Of
mineral are similar to those of the Corn.
wall mines, England. Seven quaint.
tative analyses made last week by
Prof. Hanna, of Charlotte, from the
latest vein matter taken out, averaged
forty-five per cent. Of tin. :. This dis
covery in a State justly proud of its rich
and varied mineral and other resources
forms leading subject of interest
and conversation. - Salisbury (N. CT
