that, and the nickel would take him
home. He bought an orchestra chair
and soon was lost in the play.
The curtain went down on the last
act Before and after the other acts
George Holden was conscious that
there was an exceedingly pretty girl
behind him. Now as he put one hand
down 10 adjust a rubber. for il was
a rainy night, he heard the. pretty
girls companion say: BE sure you
have that dime, Hatty. before we get
on the car"
i have it in my glove" came the
answer. "Wait d minute till I get
il out"
Then there was a little cry of dis
may. There it goes; I've dropped
il; help me find it,"
There was a search for five min
utes. but the dime had disappeared.
George Holden walked slowly out OF
the theater behind the girls. He
overheard the burden of their plant.
He had no money. and there was
long walk and doubtless many hold
up men between them and home
George took of his hat and presented
his card with an apology. i shall

Hatty took the card hesitatingly.
Reading it she turned to her sister
and said: I've heard VIII speak Of
him; think it is all right" viii
was her brother. Then she accepted
Georges escort.
They went out into the night.
George headed north with the two
girls, and let car after car pass him.

miles home. George was in deep

WHEN HORSES FALL.
WieIdy and Frightened Anil
mails on Their Feet.

In all cities many horses fall when
ever the streets are covered with ice
and slush. and. as a rule. there is con-
siderable difficulty in getting them on
their feet again. An ingenious in
ventOr recently decided to provide a
remedy for this evil. and, consequent
ly, ne promptly fashioned a machine
which is designed 10 raise horses that
have fallen iH this manner.
The machine consists of a large
tripod, the beams or supports Of which
are furnished with iron points at the

furious New Kind of Theater Which
Is Immensely Popular In Con-
tinentaI Europe.

Living marionettes are now among
the most popular stage performers
in some of the provincial towns in
Germany and France, as well as in
Paris and Berlin.
The performance begins with an
overture, played on a phOnOgraPh,
and after that a tiny actor appears
and either sings or recites in the
most approved fashion. Other actors
and actresses follow, and occasion
ally an acrobat gives an exhibition Of
his skill. Finally a farce or light
comedy, intersPersed with dances

He was living at the time eight miles
west of Celina and on the night Of the
cyclone he and Mr.. Bryan's family
were watching the raging Of the
storm in the west. The electric dis
play was wonderful, and TO him it
seemed as though the world were
about TO come 10 an end by fire. The
flashes were so brilliant that the eyes
could not withstand them. The family
became alarmed and decided to go 10
the cellar for safety. The cellar was
directly underneath the porch, on the
west side of the house, and Harvner
assisted in getting the children to a
place of safety, and he was the last one
10 leave the house. Just as he stepped
upon the porch and before he re-
leased his hold upon the dOOrknOb the
storm swept down upon him in all its
fury. He went sailing through the air
over the tops of trees, the uppermOst
branches of which tore his clothes
from his body. The gait he travelled
was terrific, and it seemed but a sec
ond from the time he started out IN
til he found himself safely dropped
into a large cornfeld uninjured, save
for the scratches inflicted upon him
as he sailed over the tops of the trees.
This field was a little over a quarter
of a mile from Mr.. Bryan's house. and
Harvner wandered about in the dark
ness and driving rain un5il he met
searching party, among whom was
Mr.. Bryan, who, together with his en-
tire family, was saved by their oppor-
tune flight to the cellar.

RIDING ON A DOOR.
Furnished to an Involuntary
Traveller in Ohio.

Christian Van den Haryner, famil-
larly known in Celina, O., as Cyclone
Johnny" is perhaps the only man living
that enjoys the unique distinction of
having ridden a cyclone astride
house door for a distance of over a
quarter of a mile. This remarkab bic
feat, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, was
performed not as a matter of choice,
but, perforce, of necessity, by the
above-named person when the cyclone
swept across Celina in May, 1856.
