<Thc g ife* County grmowat M HcG. 8TOOPS, Editor aad Proprietor. PETERSBURG. - - INDIANA. STJRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Th^Excitmar Experience of an Amateur Electrician. “Come out here, this is beautiful! You don’t get half a view of it from inside the house.” The time was eleven p. m. The scene was a summer boarding house on a 1 mountain top in the Berk shires. The speaker was Mr. G-, a gray-haired man who was seated on the broad piazza, well sheltered from the wet, while a storm was in progress that had so terrified the whole population of the house as to keep all of them out of bed in spite of the late hour. The lightning came in flashes of blinding vividness, and the crashes of thunder that followed almost split our ears. “Thank you,” I called, in response. *'I am very well satisfied in here. You —tire welcome to the nearer and more perfect view.” And I continued to hug my chimney corner and endeavored to bury my attention in a book. “What’s the matter? It is dry where I am sitting.” “I dare say. You are an electrician and don’t mind such thingsi To tell you the truth, I have no fancy for being struck by lightning—that's all.” The old man laughed. “Y’ou couldn’t find a safer place than right here beside me,” said he. “Why?” “Because lightning never strikes twice in the same place, and I’ve been struck once.” This was too much of a temptation to resist. Upon, his promise to tell me the story I went out and shared his society for the rest of the storm. “It was when I was about twenty-five years old,” he began, “and telegraphy, as we know it, was in its infancy, i There was no great Western Union system spanning* the continent, but dozens of little lines were in use here, there and everj’where. I wanted to learn the art, having a taste for electricity, and being at the ti!»e engaged in experiments to perfect a system of insulation more adapted to the needs of the telegraph than any then known. I was poor; my collegiate course had eaten up what little money my father had left me, and the experiments I was making were too costly for my purse. "One day I learned that a number of New York business men, chiefly bankers and brokers, had resolved to run a line from the city to New Rochelle, so astoconneet their dwellings in that suburb with their oflicesdn town, and enable them, if at home, to be advised instanter of any information of importance. The, cost of putting up the wires was considerable, however, and they were looking for some one to take care of the New Rochelle office who would not charge very, much for his services. I saw my chance at once, and volunteered -to take the place at a modest salary if they would hire some experienced telegrapher to instruct me in the alphabet and signs. The bargain was struck; I obtained my rudimentary lessons for nothing, and in the course of a mouth was duly installed at the kev. \ ,

‘JA11 went well until one hot summer afternoon—such a one as this was a few hours ago—when heavy clouds gathered in the, sky and a greenish hue pervaded the / atmosphere. In those days so little was known of insulating processes that no operator ever attempted to stay at his key when a thunderstorm came up. This one approached slowly, and I was warned of it also by a hasty dispatch from the New York man: ‘Storm coming. Shall close till it is over. ’ I therefore gathered up some of my papers and started to go |nto another room in the building till the storm had spent itself. As I was about locking my office door I was addressed by one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. She was apparently about twenty years of age. Her large lustrous eyes were full of tears, and her voice was broken as she spoke. “ ‘Oh, sir,’ she cried, ‘you are not going away? I want to send a message.’ “ ‘I am sorry, madam,’ I answered, ‘but there is a storm approaching and I am compelled to leave my instrument.’ “ ‘llut this is a matter of life and death. I must get word to New York at once.’ “ ‘That will be impossible, for the New York operator has left his end of the line, too.’ “ ‘Is there not some signal by which you can call him, back?’ “ ‘He would not respond if I tried it. He would be afraid to sit with his hand on the key while the lightning played so close.’ “ ‘But the storm may be over in New Y'ork before this. Won’t you make the effort to call him—for my sake?’ J“ ‘And then she poured forth her story. Her brother was dying, and she was alone with him' and the servants at their home in the village. Unless she could get word to their father, who was in the city, neither he nor their mother would be able to see the young man alive. “1 tried to explain to her what ajrisk it hiosni ior me,—but—well, I was younger then than now! A look into those pleading, tear-filled eyes was too much, and i broke down in the midst of my - argument. I believe’ I would have gone to the stake for her if she had asked me in that way. Back I went. .The storm had broken meanwhile, and the thunder crashed as it does now, while the lightning seemed almost to dance in at the window. I called New Y’ork. In a moment I received my return signal. The trouble there was over, and the operator was no longer fearful of sitting at his place. 1 got off my message. Just as I made the last stroke of the signature the whole room turned a brilliant bine. I fait nothing. 1 had no time to think.

1 was simply blotted out of existence with this last impression on my senses of the intensity of the color all around, me. “I have no idea how long a time elapsed before I began to notice anything again. When I did, I found myself on the floor of my office, my head in a ^woman’s lap, and two or three men and a neighboring physician standing over qfe. I looked up to see who was holding me and applying a wet handkerchief to my temples. It was the lovely stranger. I concluded 1 must be in a dream, and closed my eyes again so as not to dispel it Then I learned from the conversation what had happened, and in order to reassure everybody I opened my eyes once more and spoke. The girl's tears had all gone. She was full of pitying interest in ray case. As soon as I could command my memory of events sufficiently, 1 bade her leave me and return to her brother’s side. She stayed till I rose voluntarily and proved that, though bewildered, I was out of danger. Then she exchanged a few words to the physician in a low tone and disappeared. “The next morning I received by mail a check for one hundred dollars from a gentleman Waring the same surname as herself, who said that 1 had shown a degree of heroism, in befriending his daughter in her necessity, which was out of the common; he hoped I would allow him to pay the fee for the telegraph message, which he begged to inclose, as his daughter, in her anxiety, had omitted to settle the bill.. This made me pretty indignant, and I wrote him a somewhat curt letter. deducting the amount which was the regular charge for the message and inclosing him a receipt for that and banknotes and silver for the balance' of the amount covered by the check. I carried the letter around in my pocket for two days and then decided to mail it just as it was. 1 heard nothing from the affair again for nearly a week. Meanwhile, there was a funeral in the .village, which I ascertained to be that of the young man who had been so desperately ill. Then I felt sorry that I had been so severe with the father, who probably had meant well, and who must have been so overwhelmed with sorrow at the time he received my note that its tone would seem doubly harsh. So down 1 sat again and jotted off another note, in which I expressed regret for the style of my first, saying that I had written it in forgetfulness of the sorrow overhanging the family, and explaining that-1 could not accept a gift for a voluntary act of duty. “Two days later I received a call from my divinity. She seemed just a little embarrassed at first, but aner a few minutes’ conversation drew from her pocket my two notes. The seal of neither had been broken. ‘Father has been *away ever since my brother’s funeral,’ said she, ‘and these letters have lain unopened, awaiting his return. This morning it occurred to me that they might be about some matter of pressing importance, and that I had better see if you wanted us to forward them.’ “ ‘I am much obliged for your thoughtfulness,’ I answered, ‘but how did you know they were from me?’ The next moment I would have given the world to recall that question. The quick rush of blood to her face was painful to witness. “ ‘I had seen a scrap of your handwriting,’ she replied, simply, ‘and thought I recognized it on the envelopes ’

“ ‘You were right,’ said I, ‘I wrote both letters. As the second was written to make amends for the first, there is no need of sending either of them to your father, if you are willing that I should open them.’ I tore away the envelope of my first letter, and the money dropped into my lap. ‘Your father, I explained, ‘was kind enough to send me a check for one hundred dollars, to compensate me for the trifling assistance I was able to render you a few days ago. Acting on my first impulse, I deducted the cost of your message and wrote him a rather snappish note inclosing the balance.’ “She. had listened with evident interest. There was a strange expression in her face as she inquired, after a brief pause: ‘And your second letter was to say that you had reconsidered—?’ “ ‘Oh, heavens! No!’ I cried, perceiving for the first time what an interpretation my words might fairly be given. ‘1 simply, could not bear to pain your father by the sharpness of my words when I. came to realize fully that he had acted from kindly motives, and to remember the load of sorrow he was laboring under.’ I tore off the second envelope and handed her the note. She took it and ran her eyes over the few lines it contained. She did not hand it back, but retained it as if unconsciously in her hand. “ ‘You are very considerate,’ said she, ‘and I thank you. My father meant well. He did not understand, as I did, that the debt we owed you was one which no gift could repay. I will return the money, if you wish, or perhaps it would be better for you to keep it till you can give it to him in person. I will pave the way for your interview by.telling him how you feel about it.’ “Another fortnight elapsed without event.. Then one day the door of my office was opened by a tall, fine-looking gehtleman who called me by name and introduced himself. It was the father of my lovely visitor. I remembered his face, jiow that I saw it, and for the first time, associating name and personality, recognized him a? one of the leading stockholders in our little telegraph line. He was a banker of some prominence.in Wall street. “ ‘I owe you an apology,’ said he, coming to the point at once, ‘for doing in an hour of suffering what, if I had my mind completely at command, I should not have thought of doing. My daughter has told me how you feel, and I respect your delicacy. I am now on my way to the city, and shall stay there over night to attend a meeting of one of the corporations in which I am interested; otherwise I should like to see you at the house this evening to talk over your work here and what it holds for your future. As to-night won’t do,

we must say Sunday. Come up in the afternoon. You must let me discuss your plans frankly with me. As an older man, and one who has made his own way up in the world, I can doubtless g-ive you some advice that will be worth your consideration.’ “I thanked him warmly, and, though much astonished and delighted, did not forget to hand him back his money. He glanced it over to see whether the amount agreed with what I had stated, and put it carefully away in his purse without any further words. On Sunday I kept my engagement. I found the banker alone in his library, and we had a candid chat, in which I told him of my love of electrical experimentation, and of the way I had contrived to get my present position for the sake of the practice and the opportunity it would give me to study out a few problems which were vexing the minds of practical electricians. He heard me through, asked me a good many questions, and wound up with: “ ‘Then yon think the greatest need of telegraphy to-day is a better method of insulation?1 “ ‘That is it,’ said I. . “ ‘And you think you are on the track of a discovery in that line which may amount to Something?* ‘“I think the discovery is already made. It simply needs perfecting.’ “ ‘And you are sure that there is money in it? You see you have stirred up all the financier in me,’ he added, laughing. “ ‘It will mate somebody’s fortune.’ “ ‘How long will it take to devolop?’ “ ‘That depends' on the obstacles in the way. It costs money to carry such things through-’ “Soon a maid-servant stopped at the door to announce tea.- I was invited to stay, and accepted gladly. It gave me a chance to see the divinity again. Incidentally, I had a chance to meet her mother, and make a general estimate of what kind of a woman the girl would grow into. “‘1 am, going into a fresh venture,’ the banker announced at the table after a little while. ‘Mr. G-has interested me so much in his plans for developing a new method of insulation that I am resolved to organize a stock company to supply the means for perfecting his discoveries—and pocketing the profits, lie is going to be the superintendent, I am to be treasurer, and you, my dear, had better prepare to accept the presidency.’ He looked across the table at his daughter as he spoke. ‘I have always believed in bringing women up to some knowledge of business. In what manner could you be broken in more agreeably than presi dent of the G- Electric Insulator company?’ “1 supposed hd was jesting, but he was not. Early in the week he came into my office and went over the ground of ray discovery again with me. The company was formed and I was appointed superintendent at a good salary, which would enable me to resign my plaee as operator and devote my entire attention to getting out my patents. I had many visits to make to the treasurer’s home and usually met the president there. The fact of her sex was not revealed to the world, even in the company’s published reports, as we used simply her initials. When we came to get out a corporate seal, the president insisted upon a picture of a lightning flash and a man falling under it.

• It s not a pleasant tiling to loot back upon,’ said she, ‘but that adventure of yours was what brought us all together and gave birth to the company; and it was for the purpose of insuring other operators against such a risk as you ran for my sake that father became interested in your investigations. 1 don’t believe you realize yet what a narrow escape you had that day.’ “ ‘Indeed I do,’ I replied. ‘But how could anyone with a man’s heart in him refuse such a request as you made of me then, even though he knew that the lightning would strike him the nest moment?’ “ ‘At any rate,’ she went on, not seeming to heed my remark, ‘you have no idea what'I suffered until I saw your eyes open and heard you speak again. It seemed hours before I could make anyone answer, my cries after I saw you fall from your chair. I felt as if I had murdered you, and every thought lied from my mind except the one horror of having caused your death. “Well, to make a long story short, the company succeeded beyond all our expectations. My patent insulator did not itself prove perfection as we had hoped, but it secured priority for a principle which everybody who made insulators was compelled to employ, and the company earned a large annual revenue from many years from royalties, without the necessity of manufacturing a dollar’s worth of material for the market. My researches into the matter of insulation led to other discoveries, all of which I turned to account for the company. The thunder had become very faint, the roar of the storm had been lulled into the soft patter of a gentle rain, and the lightning made only faint flashes so low against the horizon as to look rather like reflections from some disturbance of the elements behind the mountain crest than any original show got up for our benefit A Woman’s head was put out of the window back of where we sat. It was gray haired, like my companion’s. A sweet voice said: “Don’t you think, dear, it is time to come in? Every one either has gone to bed or is going, and I am sure you have kept Mr. Allen up too long already. What protracted tale has he been telling you, Mr. Allen?” “He has been giving me the history of how he was struck by lightning,” I answered; “and it is not often one has the privilege of meeting a man who has been through such an experience—” “And lived to tell the tale? True. But you ought to label me also among your curiosities; for I don’t believe you have often met a woman who was president of an electric insulator company at twenty-one, have you?”—Charles K. ▲lias, in Kate Field’s Washington.
