covered, by the lightning flash, a man
in a suspicious attitude near the pantry

treasured her. She did not scream, or
fiutter, but walked calmly into the house
and let out the dog. A minute later a
stampede proved that the dog had found
something to chase. and in a few min
utes the animal returned with a recog-
nizable portion of the mans trousers in
his mouth. The bold Preston girl will
add this tropy to her crazy quilt-Nor-

The first cargo of ice that has
passed through the Narrows from the
remote Northern land for nearly nine
years arrived recently on the bark Nor
men The original weight of the cargo
was $50 tons. 1t will probably be a
little less than that when it is removed.
The shippers say they believe they will
be able 10 make a profit by the sale of
the cargo They say also that more ice
will doubtless be imported from Norway
if the wholesale price doesn't drop.
Dealers in London are paying five dol
lars a ton for ice, and Norwegian vessels
are doing a big BUSINESS carrying it
there. The bark Normen made the voy-
age from Brebig. where she took the ice
on board, in thirty-one days.-N. Y.
