through 1t was not entirely dark
out there, in spite of the storm. A
faint reflection of the street lights
made it possible to distinguish the out
lines of the lockwood plants, swaying
in the wind, and the chimneys and
the tent. And then-a dark figure
disentangled itself from the nearest
me- l remember putting out my
hands and trying to say something,
but the figure caught me roughly by
the shoulders and knocked me back
against the door-frame. From miles
away a heavy voice was saying, $50
I've got you!" and then the roof gave
from under me, and l was floating out
on the storm, and sleet was beating
in my face, and the wind was whis-
pering over and over, open your
eyes, for Gods sake!"
l did open them after while, and
finally l made out that 1 was lying on
the floor in the tent. The lights were
on. and l had cold and damp feeling,
and something wet was trickling
down my neck
l seemed to be alone, but in a sec
ond somebody came into the tent, and
l saw it was Mr.. HARRISON, and that
he had double handful of half melt
ed snow He looked frantic and de-
termined, and only my sitting UP
quickly prevented my getting another
snow bath. My neck felt queer and
stiff, and l was very dizzy. When he
saw that l was conscious he dropped
the snow and stood looking down at
me-
do you know" he said grimly,
that very nearly choked you to
death little while ago?"
1T wouldn't surprise me to be told
So" said. ''Do know too much, or
what is it, Mr.. Harbison?" | felt ter
ribly i'll, but l would not let him see
it. ut is queer, isn't it-how we al
ways select the roof for our little
differences" He seemed to relax
somewhat at my gibe.
81 didn't know it was you," he ex-
planned shortly. 81 was waiting for
some one, and in the hat you wore,
and the coat, mistook you. That's
ALL Can you stand?"
NO." l retorted. l could, but his
summary manner displeased me. The
sequel, however, was rather amazing,
| for he stopped suddenly and picked
me up, and the next instant we were
out in the storm together. At the
door he stopped and felt for the
knob.

A Coming Artist

We have spoke once before of the
artistic talent possessed by little Tommy
Barker, the 11-year-old son of Bige
Barker, our we'll knowed townsman.
Tommy's talent has cropped out again.
Tother day after Tommys mother had
been painting some flower pots with
red paint, Tommy he got holt of the
brush and paint and snuk upstairs and
to the spare bedroom, where he went
to work on the white plastered wall
drawing animals and birds all over the
wall and dripping the paint all over the
floor When Mrs. Barker caught
Tommy red-handed, as you might say,
she marched him out into the back yard
and cut a switch and everybody in
Bingvil1e and surrounding country
heard him holler.

In trying to think up subjeckt
for. a editorial for this weeks
Bugle as follers, it occurred to US
why wouldn't it be a grand good
thing to agitate having a band
stand bilt on the Public Square of
Bingville to be occupied by the
Bingville Horn Band on summer
evenings to give us band concerts !?
We think this is a turrible good
idee, if we did think it up ourself,
and we would be as quick to say SO
if anybody else had of thought of
it before we did.
Our Bingville Horn Band has
been organized now for a long
spell. They have met to pracktise
at the rate of about once per week
in the Town Hall and according to
what we have heard of their efforts
at two or three church soshiables,
we calkilate that the boys have
masterd their instruments so as
they can now almost play a tune
or two through in publick without
stopping to rest. Of course they
will continue to improve as time
passes. Nothing makes perfeckt
like pracktiseing, whether you be
playing on a horn or turning a
hand organ.
A few weeks ago the band boys
got it into their heads that they
wanted new uniforms for their
selves and being as they had no
funds to buy the same, the Ladies
Aid of the church held a church
soshiable for the benefit of new
uniforms and realized $1.75, which
was turned over to the treasurer of
the band.
We would hurnbly suggest that
if the treasurer who is IL Hawkins
who plays the cy1nbals perviding
he still has this $1.75 in his pos
session use it as a nest-egg lords
getting enough money to build a
band stand with on the Public
Square. Of course this $1.75
wouldn't go very far lords the
band stand, being as a nice band
stand would probably cost in the
neighborhood of SIS, but every lit
tie bit helps.
We think that a band stand
where the boys could give Satur-
day night concerts and probably
concerts on other nights of the
week, is more needed at the present
writing than new uniforms.
How beautiful it would be to sci
around the Square on moonlight
nights and issen to the soft musick
of the Horn band perviding the
boys could hold theirselfs down SC
as to play soft musick. That's one
great trouble with our band-they

1t Wouldn't Work.

Hen Weathersby, prop of our general
store, got in a box of what he called
breakfast Food" some time ago which
he sold for 10 cts. per pckg and it sold
like hot cakes. Hen got a idee into
his head that it wasn't necessary to buy
this breakfast food, so he goes down
to the Snake Bend sawmill and gets
about three bushel of sawdust and puts
it up in packages and begins to sell it
out for breakfast food. 1t looked just
like the other and he sold several pack
ages of it out. But it didn't give salts
fackshion. Cy Hoskins ct a whole
sawser full of it at one time with
cream on and Cy didn't like it, so he
took the rest back and wanted his
money Cy says he has weak stom-
ach and the blamed stuff don't agree
with him. There was several complaints
from other people and at last Hen he
throwed the sawdust away in disgust.

ZION CROSSROADS.

Zion Crossroads was throwd into tur-

stack belonging to Enos Simpson, three
miles west, got on FIRE and was burned
to the ground. Word of the confla-
grashion reached the Crossroads about
noon and everybody dropped their work
and hurried to the scene Of the crime,
as you might say, in buggies, wagons
and afoot
When the entire populashion of the
Cross Roads finally arrove at the scene
of the holocaust, it was discovered that
the FIRE had been out about two hours,
and that the haystack was total loss.
Enos estimates his loss at about 81.
The worst Of it is that it wasn't COW
cred by any insurance and consequently
the loss is total, complete and entire.
Fortunately no lives was lost.
