Neither they uor Mr. No leu knew the sad-faced stranger. Bnt he made himself known, told' hia cousin with sadness in his voice that be was in trou ble and wanted To go home and stay there. "Why certainly,” said Mr. No len. "come iu and get some breakfast and I'll send yon home to-morrow.” "i nave no clothes on,” the wanderer said, "fit to eat break fast in, and (M like to go liutne to-day, and not on the train.” "Well,” said Mr. Nolen en couragingly, "come in and wash up, and eat something and I’ll take you home to-day in my bag gy.” And so it was all arranged.

Vicious thunder storms, accompanied with hail and possibly tornadic centers, are among things reas on»bly to be expected at this period. Some very cool uights are sure to result when the storma are over. On and touching the 9th and 10th, look for reaction to a t o r in condition*—change to much warmer, falling barometer and more *torms of min, thunder and heavy squalls of wind. The regular summer solstice distur bances will set iu at this time, makiug June shower* probable almost any afternoon and even ing.

About the 25th it will turn exceedingly warm, the barometer will fall aud persistent cloudi ness and frequent storm* of wide extent sod much euergy will mark the closing days of the mouth.
