were on q visit TO me, went out to an
old edi6ce about two hundred yards
rom the house oue evening to enjoy
ourselves over . game Of seven-up.
when we left the house not one Of
US had the least idea hat the bright
rays Of the sun would be followed by
the black wings Of destruction.

ace, deuce, queen and jack of trumps
My opponent had just thrown down the

clasped my friend to my breast. md
cried: we are lostt o God, save us!'

when, oh, horrors! I saw the top Of the

destruction, folded in the arms of the
mighty destroyer.
