he had managed to extract the shot,

stove and poured the powder out on
j top. There was more fire in the
stove than he supposed, and immedi-
ately OF the contact of the powder
with the hot stove there was a flare
up Of flame, and Burgess's face was
enveloped, badly burned, and for a
time 1t was feared that he would lose
his sight, both eyes being so badly
| burned that they were closed and he
was unable to see at all. Members
! of the family were absent from the
house when the accident occurred,
| but assistance was soon gotten, and
the injured boy was given medical
| attention. 1t is now found that his
sight will be but little II any i'm
paired, and he Is getting along nicely.
