and swallowed the watch at one gulp.
The surprised and chagrined young

Tho Deadly Alternating Current.

with fatal accident through touching

current was passing. The deceased,

with high-tension wire, was killed

Shepiclked up small stone and threw
it at the dog, but, with the usual accu-

not man given to profanity, so he did
not swear, but he lifted up his foot and
said over something, while he hoped
about Oh the other foot 1t was really
comical sight, and it was little wonder
that the widow Uttered as she apollo
gizcd. But the injured man made no
reply. Calling his dog, he moved away
down the street, limping slightly, and
looking more miserable and detected
than usual.
For several days after this, Becllen-
ham did not glance toward the widows
cottage rs he passed. but when he did
venture to steal look toward it, he
found the widow Mt the window smiling
upon him rs before. However, he fan
cicd there was aregretful sadness about
her smile.
"Shes not such very bad-looling
woman after all, he told himself. I'm
deed, the more / see of her the better
she looks. She has plump figure, for
all of that thin neck. She might mako
good wife for some man, but n man
with SO many troubles as fall to my
wretchcd lot has no right to get mar
ried."
And for several days after arriving at
this decision, he was still more detected
than ever, if such n thing were possible.
One day as he was passing the cot
tage, the widow came running round
the corner and caught him by the arm
in the greatest excitement.
''Oh, sir, do come Quickl" she cried.
"She has fallen into the water and is
drowning! You must save her. Quick,
or it will be too lnte!'
"Some one drowning?" exclaimed
Beckcnham, the natural chivalry of his
nature aroused. Lead the way! l will
save her, or perish in the attempt"
He followed the widow around the
cottage till they came to a hogshead
half sunlzcn in the ground, and used for
the purpose of catching rain-watcr to
use for washing purposes. The hogs
head was half full of water, and in the
water the widows pet kitten was
swimming round and round, vainly
seeking to escape.
Bcckenham uttered an exclamation
of amazcmcnt and disgust.
SIS that what you want me to res
cue?" he demanded
"Oh, yes, yes" replied the widow,
clasping her hands in agony, and look
ing at him nppealingly. Save her,
and | will do any thing in my power to
repay you-any thing!'
lie could not resist such an appeal as
that, so he hung himself over the side of
the hogshcad and reached down for the
kitten. In some way he lost his balance
and fell into tho water head first. Then
