men affect to believe that they have
fallen upon the treatment practiced
by the armorers who made the Da-
mascua bladea of old, the point of
which might be bent and thrust
through the hilt, and when released
would fly back straight aa before.
There ia much of romance in those
old stories, and the wonderful quail
ities of auch swords weredue as much
lo the historian as to tha smith who
fashioned tbem. There is not a hand
saw on a carpenter's bench, that ia,
one that he will use. but can be bent
till the point touches the handle, and
when released will fly back, leaving
no kink. It la not well authenticated
that the ancients tempered steel bet
ter than we. do, and it is mora than
likely that both Clark and Caaterline
have made discoveries that are .orig
inal advances In handling steel.

William Wall was aroused by a cry
of fire. He saw a grest light and
vaulted out of bed, catching up hi
pantaloons a he ran. Down stair
he realized thU it was hi own dwell
ing that was burning, and that It was
nfcessary to get hi wife and child
without delay. Mr. Wall used her
spare time with Ihe yi.ungater and
got out with only her robe-de-Duit.
Mr. Wall -and his father, who was
ileepiug below, found no fire-in the
parlor and succeeded in getting a par
lor oigan aud some books out, bull
everything else burned. The fire was
quick. The loss figure up 11250, no
insurance.
. The origin of the fire is speculation.
There had been no fire in the stoves
since seven o'clock of the mirning of
Friday, the family having been away
driving with Father Wall and hi
brother, who were l.ere from London,
England. Even on the return at
night all went to bed without light
ing the lamp. The fire originated
In the kitchen part of, the huse.
There Is a theory though tbat a bur
glar either purjKjfely or accidentally
furnished the torch. Mr. Jj.hn Wall's
residence on Basel iae tree I was bur
glarised the night - before. The
prowler bad enterud by deftly cutting
a pane of glass from .the window and
with his hand released the bolt that
fastened it. He had gone into all
the rooms of the house except the
sleeping chamber, aud had made a
thorough search. The sleeping rooms
had not been entered because they
were fastened on the inside by barrel
bolts. In the dining room the floor
was strewn with half-burned matches.
showing that it bad been the place of
a minute seaich.. Mr. Wall, uncle of
M., is touring America and known
to have been shadowed a part of the
way acrow the continent. It is sup
posed that this party wanted the
money that Mr. Wall is carrying for
bis traveling expenses. While in
Hilisboro he made hi home at J.
M.'sand was there on Ihe night of
the housebreaking. Nothing was
taken that night. Friday night the
prowler might have mistaken Wm.
Wall's father for his uncle and
thought that the latter was spending
the night with William, wherefore
that residence was the scene of his
adventures. The match lighting may
have been rejated with the result
that an accidental fire resulted, or lo
anger at his lack of success he may
have deliberately kindled the fire.
So far as known Mr. William Wall
lost nothing by burglary. There
were three gold watches in the bouse
but the remains of these have been
found since the fire. Mr. Wall haa
not got around to building yet, though
that will be taken up. His first con.
cern is to get clothes for self, wife and
childien.
