TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

After he had eaten he dried his damp
garments and changed his soaked boots
for a pair SO worn that they scarcely
| held together. But their dryness was
! tentment, largely induced by the heat
of the grateful fire, rendered his actions
leisurely. Quite half an hour elapsed
| before he thought of peeplng through
the back window to ascertain the prog
ress OF external events. The rain was
not now pelting down with abnormal
fury. 1t was still falling, but with the
quiet persistence that marks-in London
parlanCe-"a genuine wet day" The
steam had almost vanished. When he
| removed his coat from the broken panes
he saw with surprise that the flagstones
in the yard were dry within a circle
of two feet around the hole made by
! the meteor. Such drops as fell within
that area were instantly obliterated,
and tiny jets OF vapor from the hole
| itself betrayed the presence of the
fiery object beneath.
His boyish curiosity being thoroughly
aroused, he drew an old sack over his
I
which led into the yard from a tiny
scullery, and cautiously approached the
place where the meteor had ploughed
its way into the ground. The stones
were Uttered with debris, but the We
locity of the heavy mass had been 50
great that a comparatively clean cut
was made through the pavement. The
air was warm, with the hot breath of
an oven, and it was as much as Philip
could bear when he stood on the brink
of the hole and peeped in.
At a good depth, nearly half his own
height, he estimated, he saw a round
ball firmly imbedded in the earth 1t
was duly red, with its surface all cracks
and assures as the result of the water
poured onto it. Much larger than
football, it seemed to him, at first sight
to be the angry eye of some colossal
demon glazing up at him from a dark
socket. But the boy was absolutely a
stranger to fear. He procured the han
die of a mop and prodded the meteor
with it. The surface felt hard and brit
tie. Large sections broke away, though
they did not crumble. and he received
sharp reminder of the potency of the
heat still stored below when the wood
burst into sudden flame
This ended his Investigations for the
night. He used the sacking to block
up the window, replenished the fire, set
his coat to dry and dragged his mat
tress from the bedroom to the front
of the fire. The warmth within and
without the house had made him intol-
erably drowsy and he fell asleep while
murmuring his prayers, practice aban-
doned since the hour of his mothers
death.
In reality, Philip was undergoing a
novel sort of Turkish bath, and the
perspiration induced thereby probably
saved him from a dangerous cold. He
slept long and soundly. There was no
need to attend to the fire. Long ere the
coal in the crate was exhausted. the
presence of the meteor had penetrated
the surrounding earth, and the house
was far above its normal temperature
when he aWOke

bles, many of them as large as peas
some the size of marbles and a few
bigger ones. They had evidently
flown on all sides, but, encountering
lofty walls, save where they forced a
way through the thin glass of the
window, had fallen back to the
ground. Interspersed with them lie
found pieces of broken stone and
jagged Jumps of material that looked
and felt like iron.
By this time the meteor itself had
cooled sufficiently to reveal the nature
of its outer crust. 1t appeared to be
an amalgam of the dark, ironli&e
mineral and the white pebbles
Through one deep assure he could
still see the fiery heart of the thing
and he imagined that when the inter
nal heat had quite exhausted Itself
the great ball would easily break in-o
pieces, for it was rent in all direc-
lions.
His first exclamation was one of
thankfulness.
It Was Still Hot.

moments reflection told him,
however, that he would not be able
to disinter 1t that day. even if he pos
sessed the requisite implements. on
its lower size it was probably still red
hot. Through the sOles of his boots,
broken as thew were, he could easily
feel the heat of the ground, so the eX-
pertinent must be deferred for "a
hours, perhaps longer. At any rate,
he was sure that hi mysterious Wis
itOr represented a readable asset. ami
the knowledge gave him sudden dis
taste for coffee grounds and stale
crusts. He resolved TO spend his &C
naming three halfpenCe on a breaK-
fast, and at the same time make some
guarded inquiries as to the nature al
possible cash value Of the meteor it
self Evidently its fall had attract d
no public attention. The fury of the
elements and subsequent heavy
rain were effectual safeguards in this
respect, and JohnsOn's News, marked
out for demolition a fortnight later,
were practically deserted now day
and night.
Philip did not then know that Lon
don had already much to talk about
in the recorded incidents of the two
storms. The morning newspapers
were hysterical with headlines an
