Knocked down a dozen

Near their in the past j.
j. Morris had a terrible
experience with lighting.
He was out viewing a black
cloud when he was knocked
down by a bolt. He lay
there in the rain that fol-
lowed fora couple of hours
when he managed to make
his way to a neighbours
house. The lightning had
tore his hat, then ran to his
vest pocket and made a cir
Gle in the skin around the
watch, than took to his
pants pocket and melted a
silver dollar in it, finally to
escape to his feet and tear
holes in his shoes to get out.
1t is claimed that it was the
drenching rain that Mr..
Morris lay out in after the
shock that saved his life.
His folks were away from
the house at the time and it
is said that had they been
home they would have car
ried him inside when with
out the soaking he would
never have rallied. His
health had not been the
best previous to this shak-
ing UP by the lightning but
since than it has been first
rate, proving that electric
treatment is good.

az to guard her. The distance Wa
but short, and the Indians, seeing tnsy
could not capture them. stopped and
began to fire. The bullets wbizzed
by the ears Of the fugitives. but they
remained unhurt. The woman reached
the gate before them and would have
shut 1t in their faces had not Renee
called to her to wait. Once inside, the
two fastened it securely. Renee has
tened to find the men, but no one was
in sight. There was little tiUe to lose,
SO after sending the boy to fad them
she set about herself to inspect the
defenses. 1t had been so long since
any danger had presented itself that
they had been allowed to get out of
repair. She found that several of the
palisades had fallen down. leaving
openings through which the enemy
could easily enter. BY this time the
boy had returned, bringing with him
only his brother and the octogenarian,
both of them willing but feeble hands.
The soldiers and the women were not
to be found. With encouraging words
Renee made use Of the material she
had. and with their assistance soon
raised the fallen palisades into posi-
ton again. She then directed one OF
the boys to fire at the Indians from
the loopholes, while the other beat
drum violently. She then went to the
blockhouse where the ammunition was
stored and there found the two soldiers
huddled up In dark corner with the
women folks, one hiding his head, tho
other with lighted match in his hand.
What are you doing?" Renee cried.
II shall light the powder and blow
us all up" was the reply.
You are miserable coward! Leave
this place." was her contemptuous
command
Finding herself thus deserted OF all
expected aid. Renee's spirit rose, so,
throwing aside her head-gear, she put
on a mans hat and, seizing a gun,
called to the two boys, saying: Let
us fight to the death. We are fighting
for our country and our religion. Re-
member that gentlemen are born to
shed their blood for the service of God
and the king. 1, too, am of gentle

very wild beasts had fled in terror,

as If in horror of the grewsome flood

upon the darkness; a savage yell
broke the tension of the awful mo-

blood cleaned near the flames-the

were filled with the fitting forms of
human demons as the bloodthirsty
