It wm ten o'clock of a July morning -and the larger fraction of humanity had been son hours earning ita daily bread. The idlers had but just risen from the breakfast table. To this Utter clam be kmsred the vounsr man who leaned Usilf over the pfauua railing and looked absentlv out on Lake Wiunipaks. Beside him. IB a hnire chair, sat a little woman .rocking to and fro, with an untiring movement, and with deft fingers plying in and out among bright silks and crewels. Kha was idle. too. in her woman's labnrkms way, but there wm a lack of retraae in her indolence that made it restful to Mm again to her brother, who stood with statuesque Inaction, looking mto the stiU water below.

To be sure, we might." said - . ..... j vttUS sister, glad of anything to divert from the first ecnerne. All right, just m you my." Tom turned his boat toward the great rook whkh lifted Its broad back out of the water. It was fitly called the Desert Isle, for ita few aouare feet of surface supported not so much as a blade of grass or a bit of moss. "Hop out," said Tom. "I've got to see to the boat. I gmat you can climb up to the top easy enough." Of oourae, I can," said Josephine: if I needed your help, you little monkeyr' la a moment she stood at the top of the rock, and in another moment a derisive laugh came from below. Good-by, Jo; i hope you U enjoy y out-elf. " Til see you later." riato says: "A ooy m tne mow vicious of all wild beasts.'' Plato and Miss Vail were of one opinion on that point. She looked about her and took in the situation. She was monarch of about twenty-five square feet of rough gray rock, the skim of which deeoendea aorupiiy w toe water, jrereneu hhrh on this massive pedestal, her figure atiod out sga nst the sky in bold relief. A book and parasol were her owiy ac cessories, for by some happy inspira tion she bad clung to theee. The sun wm high hi the heavens, bat its hot rays wen mercifully tempered by a oft breeae on the lake. Josephine seated herself, raised her parasol and opened her book. She faced the probability tbat M least two hours t noonday solitude were before her. Tbe ooly philosophical oourae of action was to make um beat ot it. nut warn a lltuation to be discovered in. She re membered with satisfaction that a large parttr had gone on a pio-alo to-day and the dowagers left behind were not given to boating at high noon. She tried to think how she should laugh it off if anybody should see her, but un der tbe most cheerful aspect she seemed to herself a ridiculous spectacle. To be ridiculoM in a good cause had in It an element of heroism, but the present situation wm one of unmitigated absurdity, and Josephine Vail always felt the heroic rather than the tannic to be her forte. Once tears of real vexation started m her head began to throb in sympathy with the hot pulsations of the air about oer. An hour had dragged its length along when Josephine anddeaiy luted bar bead and listened painfully. A man's voice singing and the splash of oats, and, yes, in an instant, a boat swung alowly round the bend. One man sat in - m a it, laxiiy rowing ana insuy singing. "it s i tut oitut creature wno wiunoneu m off this morning," thought Joeephino. It's a t.pe 1 d'test. And to think he should see me here. It's really more than 1 cm eudure." Tbe girl looked with envy on the tortoise which slipped easily from the base of the rock into the water m he heard the disturbing sound of oars. I hope he'll have the good taste to suppose l came nere ot my own tree will. He wouldn't think of interfering with me, I hope. What? I believe he4! eoming straight toward roe." Josephine turned the leaves of her book with an interest that grew every moment more intense. But at last dencency required tome recognition of the nearingboat. The young man was rowing now m tf he had a renewed Interest in life. He wm soon at the base of the rook. "I beg your pardon,'' he said, m ha raised huhatr "oam I he of any assistance to youP" . You are Tory kind, sir. You find me in a very absurd position." You have evidently been shipwrecked. Aire you the sow survivor ?" "No. not shipwrecked. butputMhore and abandoned by my erool tyrant of a brother. To tan you the tr sir, I am tMTHisJmof aprwrteMjofcs. XyMttla

Leaoin out c his boat before Miss Vail could my ft word, he drew tt up on a low ahetf of the rock astd ouiokly reached berime. Let me help you." the young man said, with such a firm sMawaaea of good-breeding, that she made ao resist ance or auenip at inuepcowracc um iepted tne pronsrea at ai quiet, Btatter-of-oourN way. Your boatl your boat, iut' teeswtdenly cried. Ii wu too late. The rislug breeze drove the water with such . . L I .1.force sgminst ine roca aw mi anwMgw wm boat, and before Adams could grasp it, the little craft was gayly tilting about, a half-doaea yarda away. The two looked at each other a moment and then simply laughed, though both were conscious of its being questionable taste. Adama sobered ud said: Can you ever forgive me. Miss " MUi Vail. I am Miss VaiL" "And I am Mr. Adams. Can you be magnanimous enough to forgive me?" "That is Use question I should Mk you." Ah. you erode mine. At My rate, I shall never forgive myself. A worm bit of bungling 1 never saw. Tbe truth is. Miss Vail, I hare had very little experlence in rescuing fair ladies. Yon are the first whose life I have tried to save. I am no hero, aa you see." The crenuine annovsuice of her com panion rotued the com passion of Josephine, and she began to talk to him with a desperate rheerfulnem and acceptance of the situation. What a cold-blooded little villain tbat brother of yours must be, Mku Vail, to desert you in this fasbkm! I suppose we must throw ourselves on his mercy when h oomee back. How are you going to account for me? Coneidat me your num. Friday.' Beneath their light talk ran an undercurrent of more or lees bitter meditation on the part of each. Miss Vail shuddered to think what a good story this adventure would make for circulation among bur friends, while Adam foresaw how It would add to the conviviality of his club. He began with the fervent wish tbat he was out of this onfounded scrapo, but he soon forgot to be annoted. and what is more, to oe indifferent. He ended. I am obliged to con f ess, by ceasing to envy Robinson Crusoe his isle, and considering his own far preferable. There wm a breeainesf about this girl tbat made one forget the mounting thciimometer. She nad a wav of finhur to tbs ooint. and, more over, ahe had a point, two things which Ben Adams toldhis sister be appreciated in a woman. In short, by dint of making the best of it, Mies Vail and Adams were both able to express m honest surprUe whoa a boat appeared in the distance; and on taking out his watoh, Adame found it to be three o'clock. Now!" was ad Josephine 1014, hut there were competing emotions ha the Hal shouted a shrill voior across the water. " Hullo-o," called Adams back.

The latter proved very spproacbable, and Adman) found no diftleuhy in persuading him to go fishing tbe next day. When they were home at last Josephine took her young brother into her room and turned the key. "Tom, you've treated me very tedtf to-dav. What would yon give If I wouldn't tell father? Ton wouldn't like to be neat back to the .military sehooL you know." "Sav.sis. Til tell you what,' the little wretch gave a wink of immense simificanoe; "if you won't toll on me, 1 won't tell on you.

They were dumped down in a gully, in a pile, and all cloe together, and looked as thou 'h they were dead before they touched the earth. It is asserted by many reputable people that in the center of the awful ciroie or loop tbat the tornado made at Urinnell objects were carried a tfaouI sand test high, and one small houee ' wm taken up bodily some four or five ' hundred feet, and then dropped hi a 1 lump soma two hundred feet from Its ortsdnsl site. Many people state that they aw the balls of firs or electricity during the tornado's time, nad report thorn to have been of sixes varying from one foot to five to diameter, and exploding with a strong smell of sulphur, or more like a smell of hot copper. Others report a dense and stifling; odor more of fensive than sulphur, and as foul, almost, as tbat of putrid flesh.

The pouring water made soft mud of tbe earth, and the wind took this up and filled the air with it in places and plastered it over everything. Everything tends to confirm the theory that tbe tornado is of electrical origin, and that it is the marvelous power of electricity alone that can apply itself to snob small surface and work such havoc Against its resistless force, a house of stone walls ten feet thick, or walls ten feet of wrought Iron, would stand no more than a house of frame. Its power is tbe impossible made possible. o force that is known could have the power in small compass tbat this has out eieo trietty.
