LIGHTNING cTEALs TEETH
Jsvseyman Won't Sing Any More
When a Frisky Bolt 10 Re-
ported Near.

Pitnsy. N. 1.-THE next time Walter
Campbell of No. 1856 South Broadway
sees q bolt Of lightning trekking for
him he will not await its coming with
complacency. He will bolt for door
or window. or even tuck himself In the
chimney place. The reason for this
IL that recently Campbell. who had
gone into his home after dealing death
TO bugs on his potatoes. sat down
in an armchair and began singing. Te
WAS reaching to sob note when he lost
consciousness. When he regained
It he found that three teeth in his
mouth were not where thcy had been.
He recalled streak OF lightning
that had come unannounced through
the door. that had struck his teeth
and then dartsd for the door as II It had
been playing tag with him. He could
not account for tho lost teeth, except
on the theory that the lightning either
had burned them to q liquid, had swal-
lowed, or taken them out the window
with It. Neighbors who had seen the
freak Of the lightning hurried to the
house, expecting to and Campbell
dead. He was alive and hopeful, but
resoluts that never again should light

oisnehed teeth.

she was going on a trip to California

spending five weeks at the beach,
purchased small ranch in Topango

Except for the assistance given by

no friends and lives as a hermit.
1t is only rarely that Miss Pitlinzer
leaves the ranch. Her only COM

which are with her almost constantly.
The animals act as a bodyguard. and
whenever curious person attempts
to reach the cottage the onrush of
the hounds soon causes the intruders
