from his bed to the floor, and he felt tbs
house rocking as if an earthquake had
passed under Paris. He got on his hands
and knees in da0ed condition, with a
roar as Of thunder in his ears mingled
with the sharp crackle Of breaking glass.
He made his way to the window, Won
dering whether he was asleep or awake,
and fond the window shattered. The
moonlight poured into the deserted
street, and he noticed cloud of dust
and smoke rising from the front OF the
shop. He groped his way through the
darkness toward the stairway and went
down, calling his brothers name, but
the lower part of the stair had been
blown away, and he fell upon the debris
below, lying there half stunned, eavel-
eped in snfocating smoke.

consciousness, he became aware that
