PhUCKY RESCUE
Frees Pet Colt From Burr
Ing Building at Risk
Of Life

A barn, owned by Edward Candy. OF
Wilmington, and tenanted by Clinton
Seminar, of COOch's Bridge, was struck
and totally consumed, together with q
mule, two horses and a wagon, by
lightning yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Seminar and a farm laborer were botl
shocked, the latter to such an extent
that he is to-day confined to his bed.
Mr. Sentman had just driven into the
barn with a load of hay. when there
was binding flash, followed by a
terrible crash, and the interior of the
building seemed to be a mass of flames.
Mr. Seminar was stunned for a mo-
ment, but soon recovered, and, jump
ing to his feet, attempted to get the
horses and mule, which We're hitched
TO the wagon, out Of the building. The
laborer was apparently dazed, and
could do nothing, and. owing to the
fact that the flames were gaining head
way, Mr.. Seminar was forced to seize
the man and hustle him out Of the
building, leaving his team to perish.
At this juncture it was seen that
flames were breaking out I'm the stables
near the barn, and in a few moments
they were whipped to a fury by the
stiff wind.
Though the roof was q mass OF
flames and dense clouds of binding
smoke poured out at the doors and
windows, Miss Lillian Seminar, the
daughter of Farmer Seminar. dashed
past persons who tried 10 detain her
and into the seething mass of flames.
That the plucky young woman would
perish seemed inevitable. but she Short

leading her pet colt, as a cheer went up
from the crowd Of neighbors. just ar
rived.
Buckets were obtained and the
hand brigade saved the remainder OF
the buildings.
The contents OF the building were in
sured by Mr.. Sentman.

A TRUE FISH STORY.
The Peculiar Adventure of n Wed

"About the queerest FISH story
know Of" said a highly truthful look
ing man-indeed, he was q clergyman
happened to me at n little lake in Wis
consin, where l used to summer with
nay family. One day my wife was out
In our boat with n party of friends
She was letting her hand trail IN the
water, without thinking about its
shrinking effect, and when she finally
took her hand in her wedding ring was
gone. The lake was deep at that point,
and although we made considerable
effort TO recover the ring it was not
fourd.
Naturally it worried her a good deal.
and the next year she would not 60
back TO the same place. nor did we
go the following year, but the third
year we went there again, and one day
l was in the woods about n mile from
the lake with my boy, trying TO get a
shot nc some denizen of the forest or
other. AS we went peering around
among the trees 70 get a squirrel we
had seen l noticed something shining
on a twig Of n tree about % feet from
the ground. sent my boy up after It.
and when he came back / was more
thanastonlshed TO find that the shining
thing was my wife's wedding ring.
How IT ever got there was a mys-
terry at first. but was not n believer In
fairies and that sort Of thing, so l be-
gan to investigate for material causes.
The top of the tree had deadened. and
with a suspicion I'm my mind sent my
boy up 10 see what signs might be
above the green boughs. He called
down to me presently that there We're
remains OF a fishhawk's nest In the
forks Of the tree. and, putting this
and that together. came TO the conclu-
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gobbled up my wife's ring IN
the lake. and had taken It TO the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
part Of the fish In the nest. from which.
as the nest was blown TO pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms, the
ring had dropped out and by chance
had caught on the twig where found
it. In any event. IL that was not the
way It got there, how did It? For n
surely was there. and my wife is wear
