At that moment Major Armstrong was
seen to start and bend forward as II rs
tening intently. for he thought-althougn
h could scarcely believe his ears-that
he had suddenly caught faint sound OF
distant firing. In another instant ne
heard it again. and this time there could
be no doubt, for several of.the others had
caught it likewise, and CLEAN OF hope
once more lighted up their haggzrd faces
and bloodshot eyes.
Louder and nearer came the welcome
sound, while the sudden terror and con-
fusion visible among the enemy showed
that they, too, were at no loss to gain It's
meaning. Then high above the din
rose the well-known "Hurrah, and
through the smoke clouds broke charg-
ing line of glittering bayonets and ruddy
English faces, sweeping away the COW
ardly murderers as the sun chases the
morning mist.
'sThat boy is worth his weight in

The Seal Skin Industry.

The killing and skinning of the seals
is altogether performed by native Aleuts,
who are paid 40 cents a skin for their
work From the fat of the seal an oil is
obtained which affords most brilliant
and beautiful light. The seal skins are
taken to London in their sailed state, and
are there delivered at an establishment
which is one of the two great fur mar
kets Of the world, the other being at
Leipsie. To these two emporiums all the
furs of the world are brought by the pro-
ducers and sorted out by experts accord
ing to quality and colors. Once a year
each Of the two great establishments has
an auction sale to which fur buyers come
from everywhere All the furs are cata-
logued, so that merchant can procure
any number of any sort of skins, perfectly
matched, without seeing them at all be-
fore he makes the purchase. All the
seal skins of the world go to the London
emporium, because nowhere else than in
England is the art of preparing them
understood. In the British metropolis
there are many big factories. employing
thousands of workmen. devoted to this
industry. II Washington Star.

SUNSET CALM.

The dying sunbeams softly play
On fields Of fanny grain,
The rabbits housed beneath the bay
That skirts the scented lane.
No breeze the leaf to music wakes
In bowers green and COOL
No swallows wing in circles breaks
The mirrors OF the pool.
No sheep-bell tinkles from the fold;
And in the lilac glow
That steals Ger natures cloth OF gold
The shadows longer grow,
And melt into the silence deep,
Unbroken as dream,
That settles like wreath OF sleep
On crimsoned mead and stream.

SAVED BY STRATEGY
BY ROBERT LISaLEY.

Dinner was over at last, and Mr.. Wal
ter Currey, English commissioner at the
up-country station of Hutta-bagh, in
Northern India had gone out upon the
veranda with his wife and his two guests
Col. Ayres and Major Armstrong OF
the til infantry. While the party
were quietly conversing, sudden clam
or of angry voices from the road below
drew them all to the front OF the
veranda.
The cause Of the disturbance was WISH
BILE at once. Two half-drunken English
soldiers staggering along the road had
come into violent contact with native
boy who was running past; one of them,
enraged at the collision had felled the
poor lad to the ground and was unclesp-
ing his own belt with the evident inten-
ton of beating HIM numerically.
'sServed the yourg whelp right, I"
shouted the Colonel, rubbing his hands (;
''that's Just what they all want.
The other Major ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ly called Major Strongarm-was huge,
brawny silent man, whose forte lay in
acting rather than talking. To leap to
the ground, twelve feet below, to dart
across the garden, to vault over the
high stockade beyond, was the work of a
moment for the athletic major; and in
another instant he had raised the fallen
boy tenderly from the ground, while
saying to the foremost soldier in the low,
compressed tone of man who means
what he says
''Be off with youw
Sand who are you, shown yer nose in
where yer amt wantedl" roared the IN
furiated ruiian, to whose eyes the majors
plain evening dress bore no token of his
being an officer "Just you
The sentence was never finished. At the
sound of the last insolent defiance Arm
strong's patience gave way altogether,
and the strong right hand, which had
hewn its way through a whole squadron
of Sikh cavalry, fell like a sledge hammer
upon his opponents face, dashing him to
the ground as if he had been blown from
the mouth of gun.
"WeIl done, maiorw shouted Mr..
Currie, from above. "You deserve your
name, no mistake
At the name of ''majorN the other
soldier took to his heels, aud Armstrong,
without even looking at his PROSTATE
antagonist, proceeded TO examine the in
juries OF the boy. The latter was sorely
bruised in many places, and the blood was
trickliug freely over his swarthy face,
but the little hero still did his best to
stand erect and to kee down every signd
of the pain he was enduring.
"You're brave lad, and you'll make
a soldier some day. said the major to
him, in Hindustanee. ''Come with me-
I'll see that no one molests you again.

Six months have come and gone, and
Mr.. Currie's hospitable house presents a
very different spectacle. The pretty
garden is trampled into dust and mire,
and the bodies of men and horses are ~
ing thick among the fragments Of the
half destroyed stockade.
The windows of the house are blocked
up and through the loopholed walls peer
the muzzlcs of ready rifles, showing how
steady the besieged garrison stands at
bay against countless enemies, whose
dark, fierce faces and glittering weapons
are visible through the half-ruined build
ing and matted thickets all around.
The Sepoy mutiny of 1857 is blazing
sky high over Northern India, and Col
onel Ayres is blockaded in Hutta-b agh,
with certainty of hideous death for
himself and every man of the few who
are still true to him, unless help comes
speedily.
Day was Just breaking when two men
held whispered councils in one of the
upper rooms.
mo fear of the water running short, "
said Major Armstrong, but even on
half rations our food will be out in four
days more"
''And then we'll Just go right at them.
and cut our way through or die for it, y
growled the colonel, with grim smile
on his iron face, for with all his harsh
ness and injustice, Colonel Ayres was
''grit' to the backbone. ''We mustn't
say anything to them about it, though, I"
added he, with side glance at Mr.. Cur
RE, who, standing at the farther corner,
was anxiously watching the thin, worn
face of his sleeping wife.
AT that moment loud cheer from be-
low startled them both, and the next
moment Ismail (the majors boy, as every
one now called HIM burst into the room,
with glow of unwonted excitement on
his dark face
"Sahibl" cried he, ''there is hope for
US yeti A detachment of English are
coming up the other bank of the river: if
we can send word to them as they pass,
we are saved"
Elbow do you know9n asked the
major, eagerly.
81 heard the Sepoys say so. while
was lying hid among the bushes yonder, .
answered the lad.
''But if the troops are beyond the
river, how can we communicate with
theml - asked Mrs. Currie, who, awak-
ened by the shouting, had arisen and
joined the group. They may not pass
near enough to hear the firing, and we
have no means of sending them word "
Fear nothing for that, mem sahib''
(madam), said the Hindoo boy, quietly.
81 will carry them word myself
But how can you possibly do it,"
cried Mr.. Curric, thundcrstruck by the
confident tone in which this mere child
spoke of a task from which the hardest
veteran might well have shrunk.
Listen, Sahib, answered Ismail.

A thunder aud lightning storm which
visited Connecticut was tue most severe

In Ledyard the storm was exceptionally
severe, and number OF houses aud barns
were struck. While the members OF the
Congregational Church were ut prayers In
the ediice. fash OF lightning WAS seen and
Mt the same instant loud crash was heard.
When the frightened churcbgoers realized
what had happened they made frantic
rush for the doors.
The bolt had struck the roof OF the
church and set fire TO IL. A sudden shower
coming up at that time extinguished the
flames.
AT New Britain u small mission church
was fired by lightning. The congregation,
who were ut prayer. fled Ia dismay. The
flames were extingulshed by the heavy rain

At Georgetown bail OF fire struck th q

Panic ina Church.

A small blaze In 81. stanislaus Polish
church IN Chicago caused panic among the
school children assembled for early mass
which resulted IN the death OF Frank D..
Dziewicksi, Syears old, the fatal injurng Of
John Prowtkowski. years old, and Frank
Urban. q years old, aud the serious injury
OF eighteen OF twenty other children.
The children OF the 81. stanlsIaus school
were assembling al the church and 200 little
faces were uplifted toward the image OF the
holy virgin, awaiting the morning benedic-
ton.
Suddenly ms n loosened curtain swung
against the burning candles, a startled cry
was heard aud In an instant the draperies OF
the altar were Ia flames.
The scene which ensued was frightful.
None OF the children were over III years OF
aye. and the greater part OF them younger.
Their terror was complete. In the rush for
the door the boys outstripped the girls, and
thus IL was that none of the latter was Sc
riously injured. The screams OF the little
ones as they fell and were trampled upon
by their companions soon brought AN cx-
cited, frightened crowd TO the spot. An
alarm OF lire was turned In and soon the
changing, clashing engines and rafting pa
trol-wagons surrounded the place, seeming
ly only serving for time TO add terror 10
the scene.
Soon, however, the fremen and policemen
gained some control over the frightened
crowd, aud. while men entered the church
by rear door and prevented the children
from crowding TO the front. others sue
ceeded In relieving the jam, and the panic
was over. Then the work OF removing the
injured and dying began.
OWING To the excitement an accurate list
OF the injured could not be obtained, but the
estimates range from eighteen 10 twenty
live.
