BY CHARLES LEE BRYsoN.

A firm belief in q protecting Provi-
dence, aad in the Red Cross as one Of
the chosen agents Of that Providence,
was one Of the first things that con-
fronted a visitor to Mattoon and
Charleston after the terrible tornado
which swept across both cities in the
spring. This attitude was best exem-
plified In q middle-aged man I found
amid the ruins of Mattoon, but in vary
ing degrees 1t was shown by almost
every grown person questioned.
I encountered this man In the very
heart of the wrecked district. He sat
on q little heap Of timbers. Beside him
lay the crushed frame and wheels Of
an inexpensive baby cab. All around
him were boards, splinters, bricks, bits
of bedding and household furniture
grist that had gone through the mill
of the storm miller. asked him II
he had been in the storm-though his
arm in splints and the lump on his
head were evidence that he had.
"Yes, this was my house." he re-
piled simply.
ibid you lose anyone?"
"Oh, yes. My baby and my fve-year-
old were killed. My wife and four 9TH
ers got hurt, but they're getting bet
ter"
expressed my sympathy and
added:
"And yet 1t seems to me you're
lucky that anyone at all is left. I
don't see how a cat could come alive
through such wreck as this"
"It was God watched over them,"
he answered earnestly. II always
asked him to look after them, and he
did. He took the ones he wanted. and
left the ones he didn't want yet"
Having no argument against his
philosophy, I inquired after the in
jured wife and children.
"Oh, the Red Cross is caring for
them," he replied brightly. "They are
surely doing a good work. Doctors and

the stub Of a trunk. Even the grave
