a buggy. All a once a bolt or stretk OF
lightning darted from the sky and struck
the corner of their buggy top. leaving
il very much shattered. thence TO the
ground. Captain and Mrs. Mick were
stunned senseless for a moment, but the
Captain received the worst shock, as he

band. who soon revived, then she stirred
the horses to their feet. and the whole
outfit moved on as Of yOre, yet very
sore. 1t was a narrow escape, indeed. but
the strangest thing is being struck by
