The other day Farmer Whalen came
to town. AS the weather was cold,
George had, before he left home, put
a sandstone in the oven and, after
heating it, had placed it in the wagon
fora foot-warmer. When he reached
town he put the stone in the
oven Of Landlord Seeley's cook-stove,
SO that it would be nice and warm for
use on his return trip. Now. you will
hardly creditit-but it is an actual fact
THAT stone blew up. Yes, it actually
and literally blew all to pieces, forcing
open the oven door, breaking the oven
crate, and firing pieces of broken stone
all over the room. Since the occurrence
all the scientists in Linton have been
cudgeling their brains to name a cause
for the explosion. AS the stone did not
explode until after Farmer Whalen
used it as foot-warmer, the idea gen.
orally settled upon is that during the
trip to town the jarring OF the wagon
caused friction Of Georges toes one
against another, and that said friction
generated some sort of gas which en-.
tered the porous sandstone; and this
gas, when superheated in the hotel
stove, expended suddenly and caused
the blow-up. The force Of the explo-
sion stopped the farmers watch and
loosened three Of his back teeth

81 am the black sheep Of the family"
/ really think adventures, like misfor-
tunes, never come singly. Would you
believe it? Our house was broken into
that very night. Nothing serious came
of it, wonderful to relate, owing to
James extraordinary presence of mind.
She had been unable to sleep after my
thrilling account of the cab accident,
and had consoled herself by reading
Baxter's Saints Rest" by her night
light, for the canary became restless and
liable to sudden bursts of song if candle
We're lighted. While so engaged she be-
came aware of Il subdued grating sound,
which had continued for some time be-
fore she began to speculate upon it.
While she was specializing il ceased, and
after short interval she distinctly
heard a stealthy step upon the stair, and
the handle of the passage door before
mentioned was gently, very gently,
turned.
Jane has some of that quickness of
perception which has been of such use
to myself through life. In a moment
she had grasped the situation. Some
one was in the house. In another mo-
ment she was hanging out of her bed
room window, springing the policeman's
rattle which she had had by her for
years with a view to an emergency of
this kind, and at the same time-for she
was capable woman-blowing pierre
ing strain on claimants whistle.
To make II long story short, her extra
ordinary presence of mind was the saw
ing of us. With her own eyes she saw
two dark figures fly up our area steps
and disappear round the corner, and
when policeman appeared on the scene
half an hour later he confirmed the fact
that the house had been broken into by
showing us how an entrance had been
effected through the kitchen window.
There was of course no more sleep for
us that night, and the remainder of it
was passed by Jane in examining the
house from top to bottom every half
hour or so, owing TO a rooted conviction
on her part that a burglar might still be
lurking on the premises, concealed III
the cellarette, or the jam cupboard, or
behind the drawing room curtains.
By that mornings post / heard, as l
expected l should do, from Sir George

Then / suddenly remembered what
had occurred. Carr saw that / did So
and instantly poured forth an account
of how we had been rescued from a con-
dition of great peril by the man to whom
the house we were in belonged, to whom
he hardly knew how to express his graft
tude, and who was now gone for some
brandy for me. He told me great deal
about it, but / was so dizzy that forgot
most of what he said, and it was not I'M
til our deliverer returned with the brandy
that I became thoroughly aware of what
was going forward.

coL. WILSON'S WHEELING FRIENDS
Are Discussing the Congressional boom

Mondays Wheeling News takes up
the boom started for Colonel Ben VIII

follows:
within the past two days Wheel
ing democrats have been discussing an
interesting rumor from Clarksburg to
the effect that the veteran democrat,
the Hon. Benjamin Wilson, a former
congressman, would be a candidate for
the office he once filled. Although Mr..
Wilson isadvanced in years his friends
here think he might be induced to en-
ter the race. While the report does
not come Us from an authoritative source
it has created quite an impression In
democratic circles and the friends Of
the old warrior of democracy predict
for hlma strong following should he
enter the race.
"The discussion Of Mr.. Wilson's
possible candidacy arOuses interest In
democratic circles on the congressional
fight. 1t is well known Throughout
the district that the Hon. James B.
Fowler, Of Sutton, will be candidate
for congress and with the Clarksburg
democrat in the field the fight would
be all the more absorbing. The name
of the Hon. John o. Pendleton is still
persistently associated with the Office
but as he stated to a News reporter
