memorable pugilistic encounters, was

of the building came down in heap
and the audience was again thrown
into a state of uproar. A few moments
later another section in the north
west corner collapsed and the great
crowd was almost in state OF panic.
Then a whole side of the elevated
seats came down with terrific roar
and the audience was almost beyond
control. Almost every tier OF seats
in the house had now fallen and the
5000 people on the main floor were
packed in an excited crowd. The po-
lice finally managed to allay the ex-
element by assuring the crowd that
no one had been hurt by the collapse

Esperance burst into tears.
You are cruel-cruel! TO speak so
of him-now that-oh. papa papa
why did not die too?-shells falling
all day long-and not one would come
where 1t would have been welcomed"
She was leaning down on the table,
her face hidden. Would Cornelia
never speak, she wondered-would no
word of sympathy pass those grave
lips?
But still the silence was only brok-
en- by her own sobs; and looking up
at last, she found herself alone
She was so dismayed so astonished
that she could not cry, even though
such a desertion seemed to her most
vacant chair, and at the map Of
mountains and rivers on the table,
soaked through and through with her
own tears.
When Cornelia returned she was
quite calm, however; her tears were
spent, and, to her cousins scorn and
surprise, she was busily engaged in
tracing the wet tear-marks on the
map to the same length as the various
rivers
Il think you do not require the
quiet Of my study for such an intel
lectual employment, said Cornelia,
and as our lesson is over you may
GO"
Esperance could not help smiling at
Cornelia's sarcasm.
ut was very foolish, was it not?
| hope it has not hurt the map" she
said, with little laugh 'adieu, then,
and many thanks for your lesson"
Cornelia was mute with astonish-
ment. She had left the room, quite
out Of patience with Esperance's
tears, and resolved to read her a,
lecture on her demonstrativenes
when she returned-but her plans
had been frustrated the good-humored
reply to her singing speech, and the
little ringing laugh, were even more
agravating than the sudden burst Of
passion, and for once in her life she
felt thoroughly nonplussed This
little French girl was, indeed, a puz-
2le to her; but on the whole she was
not altogether displeased with her for
being out Of the common, and as Il
new study of character she interested
her.
Esperance meanwhile, went down
stairs, amused and a little trium-
phant at Corneias evident SURPRISE
the consciousness Of having averted a
scene" or a lecture was eXhilarating,
and she was quite convinced from
Cornelia's manner that something of
the kind had been intended.
But her joy was short lived, for in
the dining-room she found Mrs, Mort
lake and Bella eagerly looking at the
last illustrated London News"
which was full of the horrors of the
Commune.
"Oh, mamma, what are they doing
to that woman?" asked Bella.
Shooting her, darling; she has
been spreading petroleum, wicked
creature, And there you see, are
some houses, all falling down, in the
Rue de Rivoli; the silly people are de-
stroying their own city, And look!
there they are shooting the insur-
gents in the Luxembourg Gardens"
The familiar names, and the cruel
want of consideration in speaking
thus before her were too much for
Esperances powers of endurance;
again her tears broke forth, and not
attempting second argument, she
hurriedly left the rom

landing OF the expedition was in
the nature of triumphial invasion.
The Cubans, who were waiting for
the party, had brass band and

begun by the 432 men composing
