FREAKS OF A CYCLONE
Incidents of the Grinnell Storm Re-
called By M. L. Ford.

George Rice, his wife and eight chill

three littleSt folks being fast asleep
in bed, the older members of the fam
lily sat upon the porch in the early
evening, longing for a cooling breeze.
The air had been hot and lifeless all
day and sunset brought little relief,
though gathering clouds gave promise
of a cooling shower.
About o'clock strange rumblinG
sound startled them; it was not thun,
der. and at once impressed them with
a sense of peril, for the roar grew
louder each minute. A. hasty glance
to the westward showed black, fun
Inel-shaped cloud coming toward them
with an ominous roar and fri8htful
speed, and with wild cries of "A cy
clone! the cellar" Mrs. r. caught
up the baby, the father seized the
two other sleeping children, and all
made a frantic rush for the cellar
door The foremost one had scarcely
reached it when a terrific crash over
wheImed them. The house was ap
parently lifted right up bodily and
then dropped, driving some of the
| timbers into the earth almost like
tent pegs.
Mr.. r. felt himself lifted in the all

terrifying plunge into cold water
which brought back his scattered
serses. He had come down head frs
into the well! Instantly rising to the
top, gasping for breath. he felt some
thing floating on the water. 1t proved
to be his 5-year.old son, dazed and
| frightened, neither of them hurt by
their airy flight. The pump had been
torn away by the cyclone, leaving
twoinch iron pipe standing straight
up in the middle How two human be
| ings dashed down in that frightfu

upon it has always remained mys
terry.
The cyclone had done its worst and
gone on, and a high wind was blow
ing far above their heads, the rail-
coming down numerically. Raising
the boy to his shoulders, Mr.. R., by
the help of the pipe, managed te
work his way to the top of the we'll
long hard pull, with mind full o.
dark forebodings. The rain had ceas
ed when at length he stepped upor
the ground and set down his tremb
ling burden. Devastation was al
about them and an ominous stiffness
gladly broken when ne heard his wife
calling him anxiously.
