nouncing fires, collapse of buildings,
street accidents and lamentable loss
of life in all parts of the metropolis.
AS the day wore and full details came
to hand the list of mishaps would be
doubled, while scientific observers
would begin a nine days wrangle in
the effort to determine the precise
reason why the electrical disturbance
should have been wholly confined to
the metropolitan area. Philip Arson,
ragged boy of Is, residing in a DESC
late nook of the most disheveled dis
triCt in the East End, possessed the
very genesis OF the mystery, yet the
web of fate was destined to weave
a spell that would deftly close his
lips.
Meanwhile he wanted his break
fast He gathered thirty fair sized
white pebbles and a few jagged
Jumps of the iron-lille material.
These he wrapped in a piece of news
paper, screwed up the small package
tightly, and placed 1t in his trousers
pocket. Thinking deeply about the
awesome incidents of the previous
night he donned his coat and did not
notice the packet OF letters lying in
the chair. Never before had these
documents left his possession. The
door was locked and the key in his
pocket before he missed them. 1t
was in his mind to turn back. In
another second he would have obeyed
the impulse, had not mighty gust
of wind swept through the yard and
carried his tattered cap into the pas
sage. That settled it. Philip ran
after his headgear, and so was blown
into a strange sea of events.

They are quite safe there" he
thought. In any case, 1t will be best
not to carry them about in the future.
They get so frayed. and some day
may want them"
Emerging from the haven Of the
news, he found the untidy life of the
Mile End road eddying in restless
confusion through a gale. The gaunt,
high walls surrounding his secluded
dwelling had sheltered him from the
clustering March wind that was now
drying the streets and creating much
ill-temper in the hearts of carriers.

which make men and women sit up and
take notice. 1 would call their atten-
ton to this statement of my nurse and
then argue the case from this point
Does the realization that she is a hope
less spinster develop the quality Of
saintliness which I claim is inherent in
every woman, or did this quality de-
velop naturally with her years and serve
TO keep the men away?

~ nurse hasn't the effect on me that it
had when I was weaker. I welcome her
attention, keep it longer than necessary,
and feign pains TO gain it. but what
seemed a sentimental situation is now
growing less romantic.
From which 1 have deduced the fol-
lowing:
The more helpless the man, the more
likely he will marry his nurse The
man with both legs broken is 50 per
cent susceptible, while the man with one
leg broken is only % per cent.
