The towns of Little Red, Albion, Brad ford, Heber and Pangburn have been heard from thus far. Bradford, which is on the Iron Mountain road, was the first point beard from. Several hquses were blown down there and one man badly injured. The tornado came from the west and had spent its force by the time it reached Bradford.

Nothing haa been tbua far heard from it It will probably be several days before the nameaof all who were killed by the tornado are known. A special from Heber says: "In the tornado which awept across this section last night A. a Williams, living ten miles south of Heber, waa killed. He was seventy years of age and lived with his wife on top of one of the mountalna south of this town.

The Widow Burbridge, who lived in tko outskirts tot the village of Glen-d-.'.o, had been keeping company with TLwiu;s Parker, widower and Tillage contractor, for three years, and yet she 1 not ttaj she loved him. He had pressed her for an answer on several occasions, but she had replied that she wanted to be sure of her own feelings' furf. When the contractor sat down with a i piece of chalk one difcy aud figured it tm tuat he had been courting; for three years and the wedding day was not in' s.ut yet, he began to plan. Aa he pL-Mined he smiled, and three days later the' Widow Burbridare - beard some news. He had missed one of his regular spr.rktng nights, and she had been won dcrins about it, when old Mrs. Hopkins dropped In to give her the latest. It was to tbe effect that Parker was "making up" to another woman, anoth er widow living on a farm two miles away. Gossip was already saying that he had jilted Mrs. Burbjjdge and that he would speedily lead the other to tbe altar. When tbe old gossip had depart ed. Widow Burbrldge was heard say ing: "Thomas Parker jilted me for anoth er ' woman! Never on thia earth! I will do the jilting. I will write him at once that all is over between us." But she didn't. When she got all ready, she discovered that there was no ink in the house. Simultaneously phe made two other" discoveries -that phe loved the widower and that jeal ousy had crept iuto her heart for the first time in her life. Jes, she was in love and ready to say "Yes,", and her eyes flashed at the thought of tbe con tractor saying sweet things to any oth er woman. She finally concluded to wait for biui to appear and then to en courage huii i.i pop the question for the iiinth or tenth time, but when it came 9 o'clock in tLe evening and he had not appeared she became excited. It must be true about the other woman. At 10 o'clock, the demon of jealousy having gnaweel at uer heart for an hour, she put on her bonnet and start ed out. She didn't exactly know where she was going, but somehow her feet carried her through the village and along the country highway. She want ed to see if the widower was really vis iting the other widow. If so, they would be seated In tbe parlor, and the curtains would be up, as in all farm houses. As she left the village behind her the jealous woman suddenly stum bled over a bog sleeping in the,road aud was given an acrobatic fling. Some wouieu would have turned at finding their hat crushed flat as a pancake and their dress covered with dust, but this otio ilid not. She pressed on with teeth shut together, and five minutes latev a. cow ran her into tbe wayside dita. She was badly rumpled as she climbed out, but she consoled herself that it wus night and no one could see her. Her third adventure was with a be lated wheelman. He came whizzing along the road at express speed, hav ing no light and figuring that all hon est folks were abed. That bike etck the woman all over, and when she re turned to consciousness she found her self climbing the fence into, a field. She was wondering what she wanted there when she fell Into one of the pits of a brickyard. As the excavation was full of Fud and water, she was not hurt, but it took her the best part of ten minutes to pull herself out. She climbed the feuce Lncs iuto the high way with the lntei. I of pressing on, but there was one more surprise in frtore for her. An aged mule that had bv'c-n turned out to die aud was mak- ''J.a.eanie fight of it was lying by itjf roadside as she tame along. It willed for human society and scram bled up and uttered a bray that made Cue widow jump two feet and brought a scream in answer. Without knowing what it was, but believing that her Inst hour had come, she turned to flee. A- she did so she was caught in the aru:sof Thomas Parker, who cried out: "Villain, one step farther and you are a dead man! Mary, you are saved. I called at your house, but as you were not :it home I t-auie-in search of you. Back, wretch! Your victim has es caped you!" "Oh, Thomas." sobbed the bedraggled widow. "I 1-o-v-e you!" "Are you sure of It?" "Yes; I kuow it is love at last, and I'll marry you next week." "And how came you to walk so far?" he asked as they plodded along, with her water filled shoes splashing Joy fully. "1 I lost my way, and If you hadn't come up Just as you did" . "Don't mention it. I have stood ready to save your life at any time in these last three years. "Now, then, we are to be married in two weeks?" Yes." And they were. The honeymoon was still on when old Mrs. Hopkins called on the bride to say: "I declare, but I think something's gone wrong in my head. I don't seem to get things right somehow. You know I was telling you about that oth er widow?" "Yes." "And that Mr. Parker making np to her and was going to ilirow you over?" .. "Yes, but he didn't." "No, he didn't, and Yr.uae why? I got things mixed, ton see. It was Abe Whlteford who was making up to her, and you neetln t Lave never fell over tbe hog or Into a mud puddle that night at all. I s'pose. however, that It didn't do no particular harm?" "No, I s'pose not." replied the bride as she reinembert ! the "boraing" of her' lot e. I.AXGDON WHITE. A Tb.achtfml Bam. r r .it vxri-t.

A GAS FLAME ORCHESTRION facealoaa Haalcal UitrnmcBt Mad Prom Chaadeller. A singular musical instrument be long to a man uptown, who made it In pursuance of suggestions from Pro fessor Ogden Rood, the famous sci entist. Until Informed no one would ever recognize the apparatus. : It-Is part of the chandelier in the owner's drawing room. The basis of the af- fair is the so called musical flame. When gas is burned If a cylindrical chimney of a certain length and width, it produces a musical note. According to the angle at which tbe vapor is emitted from the jet, there will be either a sound or silence. A simple contrivance enables the owner by touching a button to change the flame from the musical to the nonmuslcal at his will. There are thirty lamps in his chandelier, so arranged as to make four octaves. The keyboard is In a corner of the room, where it occupies but little space and might easily be mistaken for a convenient shelf on the wall. The music produced by the flames is very pleasant. It is not as loud or as vibrant as that from either wood or brass wind instruments, but ia fuller and more sonorous than a whistle or a flute. An odd feature of the instrument is that playing on the flames does not vary the amount of light produced, tbe musical being indistinguishable from the nonmusical flame. All that the spectator notices is a delightful melody of unusual timbre coming to him from' tbe chandelier. The owner has frequently had con siderable fun by playing the instru ment when some one was in the room Or hall that knew nothing of the affair. Where the auditor was educated, he was puzzled and looked about .the par lors In vain for the newfangled music! box he believed to be at work. Wherd he was ignorant, he usually manifested some fear along with hia ..bewilder ment. A neighbor servant who chanced in there declared that it was "spooks" and could hardly be persuaded to revis it the house.
