women came the news of Jacks peril.
The mother cried little, helplessly ;
but there were no tears in Conn's
eyes.
"Aunt Sarah" she said quietly, II

And that day she was off for the
Peninsula 1t WAS the Fourth of July
when she reached the hospital in which
her Cousin Jack had been placed. She
asked about him, trembling; but the

the hair, golden still as in the years

aureole about her fair and tender face

that she had come near the object of

years before.

did not speak; and Jack, full of o
mans impotence, now that at last he
had uttered the words left unsaid SC

Tell me, Conn, tell me that you are
mine, come life or death. Surely you
would not have sought me here if you
had not meant it to be so! You are
my Conn-tell me SO"
And suppose Conn satisfied him.

Earthquake Phenomena,


The wild, untamed earthquake is a
terrible thing to encounter. The
''quaking, the rending of the earth'5
surface and the other incidental ne
compartments usually described are
only a 1.-THE of the real terrors of q
seismic shock. To some the noise
which precedes the real shock is more
terror-inspiring than the quake" it
self. Father Kircher describes these
subterranean rumblings as IA horrid
sound resembling that of an infinite
number of chariots driven tiercely for
ward, mingled with the noise of cracl.-
ing whips, neighing of horses and the
cries of victory and despair on the part
of the characters. The sounds which
preceded the great Lisbon earthquake
are said to have rcsembled 1.-THE rum
bling of empty omnibuses, chariots and
barrels, the noise increasing in volume
until it equaled the roar of thousand
cannons." Another pc .uliarity is the
gyratory motion that is frequently I'M
parted to sections of earth of greater
or lesser area. AT Colares, i. 1866,
several stone honses IN the lower quar-
tiers of the city were turned completely
around, this, too, without rendering
them uninhabitable
Then, again, an earthquake is likely
to be attended with u great atmos-
pherlc disturbance, such as explosions,
thunder, lightning, etc. At Millit-
telio 'here was an explosion IN the log
whlch oVerhung the city for several
