Ont of this weird darkness came a ght above the brightness of the sun. It blazed but for a moment around him, the thunder pealed its — and startling tones, and then all was still, save the voice of a beating rain and the faint ecko of a retreat- ing storm. On awakening from his sleep of electricity, he found that his horse was gone, the pene h shivered into atoms, and himself weak and powerless. His left shoulder was bruised and paralyzed, his left hip bleedin: from @ rent that had deprived him of ai Jeast @ pound of flesh, and the sole of his left foot shorn of ite fleso, and the foot itself a perfect wreck of maiter.
