Didn't Surprise Mrs. Flvnn.

Dennis Flynn, while returning from
work, took refuge under tree during
a thunder storm. The tree was struck
by lightning and Dennis was blown
some twenty feet away by the concus-
sion and badly stunned. A neighbor
found Dennis and began the work of
resuscitation; another hurried to the
home of Dennis to inform Mrs. Flynn
of the accident. Mrs. Flynn listened
to the neighbors account of the acci-
dent with mingled terror and joy, and
when told that her husband was not
much hurt and would soon be home,
her pleasure was gratifying to behold.
"An' Dinnis was twinty fate away,
did yez say?" about that, yes"
Och, my Dennis always was quick on
his fate" said Mrs. Flynn, with a
proud shake of her head.
