A Mr. Hardy had purchased an old slaughter-house in a New Jersey town with the Intention of converting It Into a machine shop. He went to the place to make some repairs, and was there when a heavy storm arose. Busy with his work on the ground floor of the building, be paid little heed to the storm. Presently he saw a big rat scurry across the floor from the cellarway. This rat was followed by another and another, and then they came In drove. Investigation revealed the fact that the flood waters were running Into the cellar, and the rats were seeking safety. Suddenly the man realized that the room was alive with rats. They poured up the stairway, clambering over one another In their attempt to escape from the water, and squealing noisily. Some attacked Mr. Hardy, and bit bis feet and ankles. He seized an Iron shovel which lay on the floor, and began to lay about him. If be desisted, the rats returned to the attack. Tired of the fight he then tried to leave the bouse, but to his dismay found the water was deep around it With difficulty he beat the rats away, and leaped to a stairway lead ing to a top floor. When he reached the story above he found the rets were there before him. He killed a score or more, and then stood at the head of the stairway and beat back the horde that tried to come up. "It was my life or theirs," said Mr. Hardy, "and I killed rats till my strength wos exhausted." For several hours he was a prisoner. Then the flood receded somewhat with the tide, and he went downstairs, ran through the room where the rats were still scurrying about in great numbers, and got away through the water; up to his waist A aosi Ont of School. .
