All high points offer a path to it, bait all are not alike eeceptable ; as electricians say, all do not offer the sa3i3einediurn, and lightning seeks the path of leant resistance. Thus a atone pillar or OM IA snore likely to conduct the lightning than the lain at its .rT foot ; a growintree, with. sap is its veins, is a better conductor than the atone ; an iron rod, or chimneywith hot air in it, nearly the height of the tree, would be a readier path than any of the others.

Simon brought forth a fettle charge of murder against him, and the lad Sed to Caernarvon, and fliers became a miner. Simon then assumed the title of Lord Lo• vat, and took possession of the estates, The daughter et the late Lord Lovat, Amelia,' was at the time of the ave of marriage with a young nobleman. She alarmed to be the thief of her father's elan, and ,hair to the estates. Simon Fraser, with a. body of 111', 'retainers, took the young bridegroom prison- or, dragged him to the foot of a gibbet, and forced him to take an oath never to Maim the hand of the heiress of Lovat. Simon then kidnapped the young lady himoelt, intending to make her hie wife, but with the help of her maid, she escaped to the mountains. Determined to have some claim to the Lovat property, he made the mother of Amelia his prisoner in her mei castle, and snrroundiag her with armed men, bagpipes blowing, and pikes and hal- herds pointed at her;i}areaat, compelled her to marry him, For this outrage be was sentenced to death, a sentence whiahnever wag revoked ; but hie power and keen wit kept him safe { during a long life, which he spent in per- petual treacuery. He betrayed the English to the French, and the French to the Eng. lash ; he professed devotion to the House of Hanover, while he was supporting the ex- glad Stuarts: His name was the synonym for traitor for seventy y.ara. At last he drove his son, a quiet, timid boy of nineteen, into the field, with the Pretender at the head of his clan, and made haste to complain of the lad to the Govern• merit, and to swear to his own fidelity. The boy, however, was pardoned, while Lord Lovat at the age of eighty was beheaded, After his death, a starving woman was dis• covered in a dungeon in his castle, who proved to be his wife,whom he had imprison- ed there for ten years. Now, after two centuries, the heir of Alex- ander Fraser, the miner, whom he robbed of hie title and estates, comes forward, to prove the guilt of the usurper and his own dam to the peerage.

To the bottom of the chasm at the deepeat point in perhaps sixty feet. The rail- road approaches this bridge around a sharp curve, and the engineer of a train cannot see bride until near it. The other after- neon as the Pope's Creek south -bound pas- stinger train aped round the curve nearing the bridge, the engineer was horrified to see a woman crossing the bridge on the railroad track, carrying is her arms an infantband leading by the hand a child of perhaps 3 years of age. The engineer at once applied the air brakes and blew the danger signal, but he saw it was impossible to stop the train before he reached the point where the woman was. She heard the train *prowling, turn- ned and looked at it, saw the horror of her situation in one quick, intense glance. Be- low, the heavy rains h d the chasm un it had become a torrent. To jump from the bridge would be to find death in the water ; to remain where she was a few neo_ ands longer would be to meet instant death, Sev• eral persons ersons who were near the track at the time, and who saw her situation, made signs to the engineer to stop, but he was powerless although he struggled until the from ever sweat stood out •in great 9 Then he rushed forward toward the front of the locomotive with the intention of essaying the daring feat of seizing the woman and dragging ,her to the cow catcher, At this the woman caught both children in one arm, with the other she firmly seized one of the ties on whioh the track i•s laid andattune herself bet peen the ties and below the bridge and the train passed over 'her.
