air was OF hue strange to him, sullen-
ly luminous, and he had gone not more
than q quarter of q mile when he saw
to the south, directly opposite from
where the storm had come, a menae-
Ing bank of restless clouds. They were
ablaze with ragged fire. The boom OF
thunder rose afresh. Yes; there could
be no further question. A second
tempest was approaching. Already the
sickness of terror was upon him, the
nausea of cowardice, and he again fac
ed toward his refuge, the cave But
something in the sky held him fas-
cinated. something shaped like a IT,
tanic top, hung from the heavens and
spun by demon hands. Then it stop

What had the landlord said that aft
ernoon? When 1t stops "bouncin'," it's
close.
He turned and fled for his life. but
even as he ran a new thought came to
him. 1t was not yet morning. None
in the sleeping town knew of the doom
racing toward their homes. He had "a
pitiful vision of shattered houses, lit

and children caught from their slum-
bers In the crunching nav Of the cy-

rushing through the hall of the hotel.
Cyclone! Cyclone To the cave
for your livesr
The house sprang into instant life,
but before the first startled guest
reached the main floor Andrews was
again In the street. He carried the
dinner gong, which he had seized in an
inspiration born of anxiety. Between
each shout of warning he drummed
mad, quivering alarms on the eloquent
brass.
He made the round OF three sides OF
the square when OF a sudden mighty
roaring was all about him. He paused,
! bewildered, and q crashing thunder
bolt seemed to strike his temple, q
| burning splendor blinded his eyes.
Then an invisible power struck full
against him, seized him and wrapped
him in it's crushing embrace, bore him
aloft, tossed him here and there and

ed him completely.
Three days later he woke to see an
angel bending over him. No. it was
flesh and blood, after all. 1t was she.
He blinked at her uncertainty.

with shining eyes.

"Were many sayed?"
! GAIL" she answered proudly. "Those
you saved reused the others, and only
a few, who sought refuge In cellars
instead of caves, were hurt by falling
timbers. But you suffered most. Oh.
it was noble"
Andrews spoke with sudden vigor.
"No; l am a coward. The storms
frightened me shamefully. You can
not understand how l quivered and
trembled like child. l am not worthy

cave that night. came out only when

CURES ALL PAINS

One of the most popular medicines
in New England to-day is Minsrd's
Liniment It's popular because 1t has
never recorded failure in relieving
suffering. It's popular. too, because it
is just the same to-day as 1t was years
and wears ago. medicine that has
been made just the same, that looks the
same, smells the same, and works the
same as it did nearly century ago, Is
remarkable medicine.
Muards Liniment Is a remarkable
| medicine in more ways than one. The
cures it has effected have bordered on
the miraculous, and the ease with which
1t conquers pain IS in itself remarkable.
II is remarkable. too, that medicine
should live all these wears, and increase
its sales each wear Few other medicines
have done it. This proves that its
healing powers do exist, otherwise it
could not have grown TO business of
over a million bottles annually.
Minard's Liniment cures these
troubles: rheumatism. diphtheria,
grippe, sore throat, neuralgia. sciatica.
Group, quinsy, hoarseness. bronchitis.

CULINARY CONCEITS.

Eggs will cook much more evenly x
the frying pan is covered.
Turnips should always be cooked
slowly in sailed water. Fast boiling
makes them tough and strong.
Before putting on milk to boil rinse
out the saucepan with water. This
will prevent the milk burning.
In cooking kidneys do not use a fork
for turning them; simply toss or shake
them in pan. By this method the
gravy will be retained
In broiling meats never allow them
to smoke. After the Goals have burned
down somewhat throw on handful OF
salt to deaden the blue flame that
arises.
In serving fish steaks they may be
attractiyely arranged on platter
around a mound of mashed potatoes
beaten light On the top of the mound
set a lemon basket filed with parsley
Veal should always have a sliced on
ion and a sliced carrot cooked with IL,
whether roasted or boiled. and a little
butter added just before serving The
carrot and onion give peculiarly deli
cious flavor to the rather tasteless
meat.
To have the roast beef brown on the
outside and juicy and rare within it
should be put in a very hot oven at
first, then reducing the heat. The
great heat at first hardens and also
browns the surface, keeping in the
juices. The meat should be basted
frequently

A Remedy Always Hnndx

Keep the carbolic acid and other
poisons out of the children's reach.
But If enterprising little fingers are
too much for your caution, remember
that vinegar, vinegar, vinegar is the
thing to give internally and to apply
externally. Then follow with lard
warm lard or olive oil. if You have it.
Do just the same if a child swallows

speedy in the giving.

CURES DYSPEPSIA
BY Restoring the Digestive Organs
to a Healthy Condition.
No DRUGS USED.

The origin of all cases of indigestion OF
whatever form, is irritation, congestion
or inflammation of the stomach and
bowels.
MI-o-NA, the new cure for this disease,
is the only agent so far known that
acts upon these organs themselves and
NOT UPON THEIR CONTENTS. Here
in this medicine differs from all others
prescribed for the various forms of Dys-
pepsia, and it is this that makes it a Ger
tain cure for the disease. MONA tablets
contain none of the so-called flood
digestives," such as pepsin and pan
creatin. Of these, Austin Flint, M. D.,
Ii. D., professor of Physiology in Belle
vue Hospital and visiting physician to
the same, says have yet to see a
single case in which pepsin, pancreatin
or the physiologically absurd combina-
tions of these products, produced any
benefit whatever"
All reputable physicians in the United
