That night. however. young Payne put

brass knuckles under his pillow. For
tunately for his fellow students. they
did not attempt TO disturb him Next
morning he forgot his knuckle busters
and went down to breakfast. When he
came out of the hall there was an omin-
Gus whisper in the air. The whisper came
from group of young men at the bot
tom of the stone flight of steps leading
from the refectory. Burke Pike was their
leader-the best football player in the
college. His chest expansion was said
TO be positively bal,oonish.
Pike left the crowd. and, stepping up
to HUFF, said: See here. young fellow,
take my advice and get rid of those
things before you're much older"
Huff was too taken aback at this to
say much in reply, but he managed to
stufter out:
Take my advice and mind your own

struck him with his toe on the left knee

Then he lowered his head and rushed

Heroes abound in every walk of life,

serious accident, followed by a genuine
act of heroism, occurred in a western

was so bruised and stunned that he lay
quite stu, awaiting the horrible death
from the coming explosion which
seemed inevitable.

4 shower of Ants.

4 remarkable phenomenon was wit
messed in Jerusalem at the beginning
of July. \ swarm of flying ants set
tied upon the city, and filled the air
from sunrise until 9 o'clock. Visitors
to the holy sepulchre were Obliged to
use their handIerchiefs constantly in
order to keep the insects out of their
eyes and nostrils. The natives as
serted that this extraordinary flight of
ants was the precursor of an earth
quake Whether there was any real
connection between the two phenomena
or noc, as a matter of fact two siiaht
shocks of earthquake were felt in
Jerusalem on the evening of the same
day.
