A year has passed since Mr.. Morley's
death; six months after that tragic
event Florence became my wife.
The first evening of our arrival at
Sunset hill was sitting on the porch
watching the violet tints down in the
valley. My wife was slowly pacing up
and down the walk.
She had been very quiet and sober all
that day, and I attributed her mood to
the sorrowful recollections which the
place would naturally call up.
Presently she came and knelt down
beside me. Resting her head on my
shoulder, she spoke.

"Chapel Of the Seas"

The most wonderful cave in the world
is in the Island of Torga, in the South
Pacific. Byrch called it "a chapel of
the seas" It is formed in q rock that
is almost surrounded by the ocean.
This rock is almost 60 feet high, and
broad proportionately. Many years
ago boy, the son of native chief, was
chasing huge turtle, when his game
seemed to sink into the rock. The lad
watched and waited until the tide fell,
disclosing small opening in the rock
about six feet under low-water mark.
Diving bodily, the young hunter entered
the aperture, and to his surprise came
to the surface inside the rock. The
rock was hollow and it's interior was
found afterwards, when the natives ex-
plored it with torches, to contain many
beautiful stalactites. When attacked
and followed by enemies the natives,
who know the secret, leave their ca
noes, plunge into the water, and disap-
pear. Their foes inger, astonished at
their disappearance, for no person not
acquainted with it would suspect that
the rock is hollow.-London Telegraph.
