From the far north they heard a
low wall of the wind, and Uncle Henry
and Dorothy could see where the iohs
grass bowed in waves before the com

whistling in the air from the south,
and as they turned their eyes that way
they saw ripples in the grass coming
from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry STOOD up,

Dorothy had not been lying on the soft
bed she might hfve been hurt AS 1t
was, the Jar made her catch her breath
and wonder what had happened; and
Toto put his cold little nose into her
face and whined dismally. Dorothy
sat up and noticed that the house was
not moving; nor was 1t dark, for the
bright sunshine came in at the win
dow, flooding the little room. She
sprang from her bed and with Toto at
her heels ran and opened the door.
The little girl gave cry of amaze

very gently-for cyclone-in the
midst of a country of marvellous beau
ty. There were lovely patches of green
sward all about. with stately trees
bearing rich and luscious fruits. Banks
of gorgeous flowers were on every
hand, and birds with rare and brilliant
plumage sang and fiuttered in the
trees and bushes A little way off was
a small brook, rushing and sparkling
along between green banks, and muir
muring in a voice very grateful to
a little girl who had lived so long on
the dry, gray prairies.
While she stood looking eagerly at
the strange and beautiful sights, she
noticed coming toward her group of
the uueerest people she had ever seen.
They we're not as big as the grown
folk she had always been used to; but
neither were they very small. In fact,
they seemed about as tall as Dorothy,
who was well-grown child for her
age, although they were. SO far as
looks go, many years older.
Three were men and one woman
and all were oddly dressed. They
wore round hats that rose to a small
point a foot above their heads. with

of the men were blue; the little wom-
ans hat was white. and she wore a
white gown that hung in plaits from
her shoulders; over 1t were sprinkled
little stars that glistened In the sun
like diamonds. The men were dressed
in blue, of the same shade as their
hats. and wore well-polished boots
with a deep roll of blue at the tops.
The men, Dorothy thought. were
about as old as Uncle Henry. for two
of them had boards. But the little

The riot began in tenderloin

William Phillips and C. E. Toade-
vine, mem bers Of company G, who
were standing near Tate when he
was killed, identified Joe Nichols
as the man who fired the shot that
killed thir comrade. Nichols and
eighteen others were arrested.
.uThe house was almost shot to
pieces. by the troopers in their ef-
forts to gain an entrance apparent
ly to lynch the men Whom tney
thought had killed Tate. For more
than :sn, hour the eighteen men held
the fort against the regiment and
the residents Of that section Of the
city fled to their houses, putting out
the. lights and retreating to the eel
lars for safety.
All over that section of the city
every person who attempted to leave
was halted at the point OF bay

hoping to find the men who had
started the riot.

the, drift ice to the south eighty
miles a day, but was stopped by pack
ice in Wellington Channel, which
was impossible either by boat or
sledge. Here was lots Of game, but
we did not dare shoot it. We had
only taken hundred bullets to the
pole, and now only fifteen were left.
We went into Jones' sound after
walrus and bears, and found open,
calm water. We met Polar wolves,
with which some Of our dogs made
friends and ran away.
Now we spent day and night
in an open boat ten miles from
shore. This lasted for two months
while storms often ragged over our
heads. At last we got ashore again.
but we had no fuel and were oblig-
ed to eat birds raw. One day we
found fuel and what feast we had.
But we suffered much hunger dur
ing this period. One night a bear
came and stole our food. We had
many fights with musk oxen, which
attacked us. Our best weapon
against them was the lasso.'

owl TOOK HER HAT
WHILE HER AND HER ESCORT
WE'RE WALKING ALONG.
The Big Bird Attacked the Girl
and Takes and Flies Away With
Her Millinery Exhibit.

Her Millinery Exhibit.
A dispatch from Montclair, N. .J.'
saws there is a big owl which has
headquarters in the park on. the
Herbert. Bradley: estate, between
here and West Orange, that does not
like the headgear now worn by -Wo-
men or the style of the helmets OF
local policemen. 1t attacked Teresa
Mum, of West Orange, Thursday
night, made repeated dashes at her
at, and finally tore it off and few
away with it. Her escort, Adolph
Graham, struck at the bird repeat
edly with his umbrella, but the OWL
Disregard him.
Miss Munn's face was scratched
by the talons of the owl, which,
Graham says, has a spread of wing
of at least 5 feet. The young wo-
man was frightened badly, and was
almost in Mysteries when she reach
ed home, hatless and with her face
covered with blood. 1t Is thought
it is the same owl which a year age
attacked Patrolman Harry Martin
and afterward sailed into Patrolman
Patrick Cannon. Both were on duty
near the Bradley estate when they
were attacked. 1t was only by the
use of their clubs that they sue
ceeded in beating the bird off.
Miss Mum was. the guest Of
friends in Montelair. Between 10
and II O'Clock Thursday night she
started to walk home with Graham
as her escort. The first intimation
she received that SHIP had been
singled out for attack by the owl
was when she heard the purring
TO wings, the snap Of a beak and
received blow on the head which
knocked her down. She staggered
to her feet and looked about for
her assailant.
In an instant the bird renewed
the attack, and then Graham saw it
dimly as it approached. He swung
his umbrella at the shining eyes,
and must have landed a blow, be-
cause the owl retreated. With the
bird dashing at them as they ran,
Miss Mum and Graham hurried to
q 1ononpoct uhoro thav could fpht
to better advantage. They die not
have long to wait. The infuriated
owl ,swoped down on the girls head,
fastened its talons in her hat, and
tapped its big wings, until 1t tore
the millinery from her head. With
that in its possession it flew away.

METEOR SEEN AT INMAN.
1t Was Brighter Than the Moon as

At Inman on Thursday night the
brightest of shooting stars" was
seen. 1t fell in the south at 10
minutes before u O'Clock. The
moon was shinig brightly, but the
light Of the shooting star" was
brighter; for when it finished up to
its brightest the moon .paled,, and
its shadows were no longer visible,
while those of the meteor were, as
plain as the shadows cast by the
sun.
The star made its appearance
about As degrees west of the moon.
and following the meridian toward
south. 1t was divided light, in
two sections, shaped somewhat like
the wings of bat and at propor-
tional distance apart. 1t appeared
to be about one and a half times
as wide as the sun looks, and near
ly tree times as long as it was
wide.
No heat was felt from it; nor, was
any explosion heard. a rustling,
Kissing noise was heard, preceding
the light; which could hardly have
come from the same source as the
light. The star" burned out before
reaching the ground. From first an
pearance it last, it was less than
thirty seconds in view. .
