Two Negroes. Killed by Lightning.

Spartanburg, March 13.-While
standing under a large oak tree, with
his four-year-old baby boy in his
arms, Y. II. Evern, a negro, who lived
near H~obbysVillc, was struck by light
ming. Both the negro and the boy
were instantly killed. A peculiar fea-
ture Of the tragedy was that no marks
whatever were left on the body Of
the boy, but the father was badly mu-
tilatcd. All metal about his person
was completely melted; the buttons
on his 0veralls were melted off and a
pocket knife showed signs of the cur
rent.

Suddenly he stopped and looked at us with
an angry snarl, holding up one foot
You've broken his paw, Sam. Now he'll
leave us in peace" / said.
Not he,' differed Sam. Hell starve US
out IT he can. Ill just give him another
shot"
But before the gun was loaded again the
panther Was at the other side of the camp,
nor did Sam get a sight at him again in a
hurry.
We were in for siege, and must make
TOUR DAYS rations do for ten, or until the
rest of the crew came to hberate us.
Even then human life might be sacrificed
II the men were not warned of the danger
which awaited them.
"He may leave at daylight l ventured.

leaving.
He circled around the camp, close to the
walls, whining with pain, or yelling with
rage, but ever determined to have his re-
venge for the broken paw.
Although we did not see him, we heard the
snow crush under his soft tread, and knew
that he was on guard.
He'll try the roof as soon as il is dark

gone that night, and so intensely cod that
the reports from the frosty, swapping trees
sounded like pistol shots.

1t migct have been midnight when the
panther tried the roof again. The fire was
burning lew, for, regardless of our danger we
were getting rather sleepy, and the reckless
rse of fuel was beginning to tell upon our
stock OF wood.
Then we heard him spring upon the lbw

Sam.
And a shower of sparks met the brute as
he glared at us.
Before Sam could fire he drew back a lit
tie, but from that moment the creature was
frantic

until we expected every moment to see the
sky throIsh them, and yelled until the forest

noise.

from his king row for a square fight, we
heard shout or cry far away on the wooded
hill the north.
'Who car that be?" l cried, as ! sprang
up and threw the door wide open. Some
OF the men have been sent to help us, and"
Shut that door" sharply ordered Sam. as
he slammed it himself, and threw the heavy
bar across it. That's no mans voice-can't
You tell that, Frank! It's that Indian
DEVIL"
Then he examined the gun, to make sure
that it was ready, and looked to his ammun-
milton, whi.e l stood staring at him dumbly.
Again t1at yell sounded, nearer than be-
fore, and so wild and terrific that there was
no longer any doubt in my mind as to the
nature OF our visitor.
Hes coming fast" said Sam, grimly, as
he threw more wood upon the blazing fire.
1T is good thing for us that the camp is a
strong ona."
The yells came oftener, each one nearer
than the Last, until an awful screech close by
the small square window brought us to our
feet
Sam seized the gun. just as a round, cat
two fierce, eager eyes giared at us through
the small opening.
"lIe never can get in there, but"
, Sam hestated, with a significant look at
the great smoke hole.
The next instant the heavy door shook as
the beast threw his strength against it, only
to scream with bafiled rage at his defeat, for
the stout bar was a sure safeguard
Then all was silent without-such an awful
silence-onc that brought our hair on end,
and drove every drop of blood back to our
wildly-throbbing hearts.
Not Il sound could be heard, save the occa-

Soon his fiery eyes peered at us through
the wide sToke-hole. and one great paw was
stretched out menacingly.
IL was afaid of it. Throw on more wood
As long as ii Is too hot for him we're safe.

ture's breast.
The report of the gun was followed by a

"l me just you stick as long as | do" he
retortcd
Il will" I answered.
And We went up the bank to the camp,
where we slowed our provisions away in the
little store room before making fire in the
larger apartment.
The camp was forty feet square, with sew
eral small windows, all but one of which had
strips, of bark tackled across them to protect
the glass; 1t had a roof of long. split shin
gIes with q wide smoke hole at least four
feet square, exactly in the centre.
ne store room was built behind the camp,
of the strongest logs which the builders could
find.
1t was ten feet wide and the length Of one
side of the camp, without window or door,
except the one opening into the outer room.
II was usually nearly filed with empty bar
rels and boxes left the year before.
The whclc place wore a more cheerful look
when the fire began to cracke merrily; and.
before we had finished our dinner we had
forgotten the Ominous prints in the snow.
The camp had been well constructed, and
we found nothing to repair except few of
the long, split shingles.
THAT jobs done quick" said Sam, with
great satistdction as we sat down to supper.
I'D like snme fsh-and | mean to have them

eve ought to get wood enough in two days,

Perhaps VIC can. Are you afraid to stav

II hardly like living alone-ten.miIcs from
nowhere. J. answered, carelessly. Lets try
game of checkers. Sam. Here's box cover
thatll make a capital board III fix it, while
You whttlc out the men"
Sam threw another log upon the fire, and
began his task of making checkers from a
straight grained cedar stick which he found
among the wood.
The camp was as light as day; the flames
danced ch'erily, and the sparks flashed
through the smoke'hole, far up toward the
starry sky

Charred stick which ! drew from the fire.
This is more fun than it is with all the
hmbcrmen around ready to tease a fellow"
said Sam, contcntedy IL wonder if we'll

Its likely we may" | replied. "It hasn't
been worked near here much, and there's
some fine spruces along the run. Oh, yee,
Wen find gum enough! But the board is
ready"
so are the checkers" laughed Sam, laying
the circles and squares of wood upon the
board.
SO that lcng ngto-be-remcmbercd game began;
but we never knew who was likely to beat,
for it was never finished.
