In her younger days Bertha has
made fun of him.
When she was only sixteen-Ralpl
little more--she had caught her foot ii
bravely to her rescue and released her
Then when he had her safely in the
siding. with the great yawning trestle
below them and the engine, rocking,
PASSED them. he had forgotten to re-
LEAST his hold Of her. She had become
argry at the smiling Of the engineer
AID Eal Jerked herself away impa-
tienily without so much as a word OF
thanks.
Then there was the runaway horse
and The ul!Xi!g of reins and dash
boards. Ralph was the first to come
and pull her from the debris. When
she told CT pain in her arm he hur-
ried away for the doctor. Afterward
he sat by her while her arm was heal
ing and read from the book that in
terested her.
Even then Bertha smiled when
Ralph's name was mentioned.
) Always he was at her side when she
encountered trouble Of any kind, but
she seemed not to notice him. A cas-
ual nod of thanks and an Indifferent
smile were all she ever gave him.
Years after that last incident the
cyclone came. Bertha had shaken her
head to two young men before that
event. She had been away to school
and had visited summer resorts and
had been at the seaside and the winter
hotels in the south.
These men were eligible, too, as men
CO. But somehow there seemed to be
something lacking. 1t made little diff
ference where the incompatibility was.
Bertha gave her answer, and her
mother was surprised when the ulti-
matum to the second one was given.
II do not wish to influence you"
Mrs. Ogden said. but fear you may
make a mistake There is something
to recommend the latter. He is

the fields grow green and then pink
and white, while the wind came over
the hills with the freshness Of a new
summer on their wings. Alone she
rode into the country and knew the
roads that led to the town, where her
brother was in business.
One day in May, when the fields
were blue with blossoms. she rode
slowly toward the hotel. On the hill
beyond were the spires and roofs of
the city, and across her path was a
railroad with its glittering ribbon of
steel winding into the distance.
But there was peculiar cloud in
the southwest, twisting and winding
into the sky. Bertha met a farmer.
When he had passed there was a
sound of horses hoofs in the dusty
road. The air. however. was still.
Even the birds and bees were silent.
The cloud grew darker and pushed
nearer the ground. Faster and faster
and blacker and blacker came the i'm.
pending storm.
Bertha measured the distance to the
town with her eye and glanced over
her shoulder at the threatening cloud
Try her best, she could not reach thu
houses before the rain came. She
urged her pony into canter. She
rode past hedges and fields that wert
open to the whole world. Birds few

and rolled past. Once stray paper
blundered along. Yet the girl could
feel little II any wind.
Suddenly the sky grew dark, and the

In the distance was the roaring Of Il

came. filing the universe with fear
The dust Of the road swept back. and
there was contrary current in the
air. Even the pony stopped and turned
about. Neither did he mind the whip
which fell on his flank. but backed and
turned about until he faced the cloud
in the distance and then stubbornly
stood there. Bertha dismounted and
tossed the useless rein over post Of

Bertha was alone. ze ...~s.
The course of the cloud changed. and
it seemed to hurry across the valley
that stretched away between the girl
and the houses and spires. A cloud Of
dust followed and the roaring, almost
unbearable, Of the thunder. In front
was a farmhouse in the path Of the
cloud. Bertha clasped her hands az
she saw the inmates hurry. like wild
quails into the orchard. saw the barns
and the stacks melt. as it were. in the
blast. and where they had stood there
was naught of them when the cloud
passed on. But the house was there.
and in the mist Of dust the family
came from the trees of the orchard.
Then the wind reached Bertha. and
the grass bent to the ground and
seemed to hide under the sod below.
The pony bent his neck and closed his
eyes. The cloud fastened toward the
girl. and she stepped back to await the
crash Of the elements-stepped into the
path and was caught by friendly
hand.
Ralph Moore was there.
Why. Bertha could not inquire, for
the roar of the cyclone was too loud
and the play Of the lightning and
thunder too sharp. She understood
when he motioned to hollow beyond
q hill. and like deer she ran to safe
ty. Ralph was at her side and caught
her arm. pulling her down as the
storm passed over their heads and left
its cloud Of dust and splinters and pa
per and straw and grass. Gradually
the roaring died away. and even the
cloud unwound its hold upon the sky
and disappeared as puff Of smoke
disappears
Bertha then thought Of the rescuer
by her side. "Why are you here?' she
asked. turning to her companion.
Business" Ralph replied. "You
see. my horse refused to go farther,
and tried to come here. Then l saw
woman in the road and brought her
along. 1t was you. But deserve no
credit"
whenever l have been in trouble
you have come to me. Do you remem-
ber?"
"Remember!' And Ralph told her
Of the things he had meant to say. and
Bertha listened.
When she had found her horse and
had returned to the village she wrote
to her. mother in the east, and the let
ter lay for many days unanswered.
Then Mrs. Ogden said Ralph would be
welcome. When the long days came
there was wedding. and Ralph took
his place forever at Bertha's side

BURGLARS AND ROBBERS.
Joe Heuck Robbed Rushing's Store
Burslarized Another Attempt
ON Noodles.

lhuTSaay OF last week spencer
Gill and John Potera, an Italian
boy. and a brother of Sam Potera,
who has suit against the city for
damages sustained through the
coming in contact with an elecrtic
light wire, slipped in the backway
of Joe Heuck's store on Cherokee
street and robbed the till of about
$45.
Policeman j. B. Davis took
charge of the case and learned
from Mr.. Heuck that these boys
were in the habit of playing in the
back lot Of his store, which at
once made him suspicious Of them.
On seeing the Italian boy near
the depot Mr.. Davis went up to
him and told him that he had just
as we'll give up the money that he
had gotten as the Gill boy had told
all about it. The young banana
seller at once stated that he didn't
take the money, but that the Gill
boy gave him $2.75 of the amount,
and that he still had $500 of it,
pulling it out and showing it to the
policeman. Davis at once took him
in charge and afterward went to
the Gill boy, who meantime had
been questioned at home about a
dollar that he had come IN possess
ion of and had been unable to ac-
count for.
The presence Of the policeman
$50 awed Spencer that he told him
that if he would go with him to
the court house yard he would
give back the money, having hid
den it there. On arriving there he
went to the temple Of justice and
on back to a lot of gulleys in the
rear Of the yard, where he raised
up a stick and pulled out a roll of
bills containing $31.00. He stat.
ed that this wasn't all and proceed
ed to go into an clubhouse. where
he unearthed a handkerchief con-
tanning $500 or $4.O0 in silver.
Policeman Davis made an affi-
davit against the boys for grand.
larceny, but on account of their
age between 3 and IL they have
not yet been tried, Mr.. Heuck
seeming to be willing to get the
money back and let the matter
drop.
On Friday night burglar or
burglars got into Mr.. W.. T. Rush.
ing's store on Monticello street
near the cemetery and got off with.
a lot of tobacco and miscellaneous
small articles, besides nearly a
barrel Of flour and over 80 pounds
Of bacon. Entrance was effected
through rear door of the store
in Mr.. Rushing s yard. the intrud-
ers then opening the front door Of
the place OF business and going out
that way with their plunder.
On the same night Marshal
Smylie Blue and Policeman Nc
Bride thought they would make a
good catch when they heard some
one on the roof of Noodles hard
ware store. which was robbeud of
lot Of pistols and razors about ten
days ago. Through the shreWdness
of the Would-be burglar he made
his escape through the lots back of
the Front street stores before the
officers of the peace could get sight
of him.
The Leader would like to add
that these robberies and attempts
are getting mighty common IN
Brookhaven, and it is getting
about time that the perpetrators
were landed bekind the bars or.
given d good, liberal sized dose OF
hot lead that would put them on d
fix where the lookup would not be-
needed.
