FRANKS OF A BALL OF FIRE.
Cyrations That Seemed to Be Aetu-
ated by Reason.

Camille Flammarion has written a
book-"Thunder and Lightning '-in
which he describes some of the phe-
nomena of electrical storms. OF the
actions of a ball OF fire in Paris he
says: 1t was in the Rue St. Jacques.
near the Val de Grace. The fire ball
burst into the room from the CHM
ney. knocking over the paper guard
in front of the fireplace. In appear
ance it suggested a young cat gath
cred up in a ball. as It were, and NOV
ing along without using its paws. 1t
approached the tailor's legs as If to
play with them. The tailor moved
away to avoid the contact, OF which
he was naturally in terror.
After some seconds the globe OF
fire rose vertically to the height OF
the mans face as he sat, and ne 20
save himself. leaned quickly back
and fell over. The fire ball continued
to rise and made its way toward a
hole which had been made at the top
of the chimney for the insertion Of
a stovepipe in the winter but which.
as the tailor put it afterward. the fire
ball couldn't Sec because it was
closed up with paper.
The ball stripped OF the paper
neatly, entered the chimney quite
quietly and. having risen to the sum
mi., produced a tremendous explosion,
which sent the chimney pot flying
and scattered it in bits all over The
neighboring courtyard and surround
ing roofs"

CHAPTER X.
The Cruuued Wine.

Passing on they assembled the steps
and stood upon the broad piazza.

troops. who we're making themselves
as comfortable as possible in the
grounds.
When Squire Granger came for

the officer in whose care his precious
estate was to be intrusted. he receiv-

frowning. and casting a quick glance
after his daughter who had Just pass
ed into the house.
John, knowing he had the best of 1t.
kept his temper well in hand. and
managed to explain the matter satls-
factorily. saying little of the recent
adventure.
The house was on n knoll. and from
the yeranda a view of at least a por-
ton of Atlanta could be had.
What they saw was sight to
arouse the enthusiasm of one. and
appalI the other. Federal troops
were marching iHtb NV '"'' ~'''
solid files. Music thrilled the air, the
strange harmony of piercing flies and
rolling drums.
1t was a sad day for the Confeier-
acy wher this gateway of fair Geor-
gia fell into the hands of the victoA-
Gus boys in blue.
Colonel John did not forget MS
duties as a soldier. It was pecuhar
condition of affairs that confronted
him. Fate. assisted of course. by MS
own efforts. had made him the Gus
todian of his wifc's property. surely
no Federal officer was ever placed IN
a position so singular.
The strangest thing of all lay In the
fact that his wife openly protested
feeling of kecnest hatred for him. as
she did toward everything appertaih-
ing to the Northern army.
Her heart was thoroughly wrapped

Squire Granger was made of less
ardent material and while devoted to
the cause. knew enough to think of
the future.
Under the protection of these troop

there must inevitably he certain
amount of footing in spite OF the
strict orders given. the torch OF the
rlunderer dared not approach
house that was especially guarded.
The Georgia squire chuckled under
cover of his sleeve at the successful
outcome of his little plot.
Every time he looked toward Col

The story of the Federa's idenuty
had been made known to him, since
Major worden and Crockett Ridge

seen fit to visit the squire before TAX
ing hasty departure in order to es-
cape capture by the advancing Fed
erals.
The more he studied Johns face
the deeper grew the conviction that
while his shrewd plan for saving
Lyndhurst would probably work to a
satisfactory point, he could rot shake
on the husband with whom he had
provided his child, as easily as he
had expected.
Leaving orders with subordinate
Colonel John rode into the city.
The army of invasion having fought
its way from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
leaving every rough mountain pass
spr!nkled with the blood of heroes on
either side. would have to rest and
recuperate in the latter city before
starting uTon the march through
Georgia to the sea, a daring scheme
already far advanced in the mind of
Sherman.
The day was well on toward the
close when Colonel John rode out in
the direction of Lyndhurst again.
When challenged by guard he
gave the counterslgn and continued
on.
The sun was just sinking behind
the rugged horizon when our soldier
