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
a 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 deity close his
lips.
Meanwhile he wanted his break
fast. He gathered thirty fair sized
white pebbles and a few jagged
Jumps of the iron-like material.
These he wrapped in a piece of news
paper. screwed up the small package
tightly, and placed it 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. II
was in his mind to turn back. In
another second he would have obeyed
the impulse, had not a 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.

thought. In any case it will be best

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

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
comforting. An added feeling of con-
tentment, largely induced by the heat
of the grateful fire, rendered his actions
leisurely. Quite half an hour elapsed
before he thought of peeping 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 fiagstones
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
head and shoulders, unlocked a door
which led into the yard from a tiny
scullery, and cautiously approached the
place where the meteor had ploughed
its way iuSs 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 ii was as much as Philip
could bear when he stood on the brink
of the hole and peeped in.
At good depth. nearly half his own
height, he estimated, he saw a round
ball firmly imbedded in the earth. It
was DULY red, with its surface all cracks
and assures as the result of the water
poured onto it. Much larger than, a
football, it seemed to him, at first sight
to be the angry eye of some colossal
demon glaring up at him from a dark
socket. But the boy was absolutely
stranger to fear. He procured the han
die Of mop and prOdded the meteor
with it. The surface felt hard and brit
tie. Large sections broke away, though

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-

death.
In reality, Philip was undergoing a
novel sort of Turkish bath, and the
Precipitation induced thereby probably
saved him from a dangerous cold. He
slept long and soundly. TheEe 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

GOTHAM GANGSTERS
KILL "SQUEALER''
Meets Death Near Scene Of
R0SenthaI Murder.

New York, April 30.-Suspected Of
"squealing" to the district attorney,
Jerry Mazda, known as Jerry the
Lunchman," met his appointed death
on Forty-first street, near Broadway.
He was shot down by gangsters who
sent five bullets into his body.
The shooting occurred only couple
of blocks away from the scene of the
murder of Herman Rosenthal last
July, but the gunmen had less luck
than the Rosenthal murder crew.
Five policemen who were in the i'm
mediate vicinity heard the shots and
pounced upon men whom they &C.
cused of the killing.
The police allege that the men they
caught are members of the Paul Kelly
band of gangsters, of which Jerry was
an adherent. They say that Jerry had
recently fallen under suspicion, how.
ever, and that he was thought to be
revealing the gangs secrets to Dis
trict Attorney Charles s. Whitman.
