from visitors to the Hot Lakes. The
scene was the widest imaginable. The
air had rushed over the land with cyclonic
fury, uprooting, tearing and breaking
trees that had survived the hail of rocks
leaving here and there a gnarled and
Jagged trunk denuded Of branches and
stripped of its bark.
The next day the party set off for Ro-
tomahana. AS they approached the Hot
Lakes huge cracks extending hundreds Of
yards in length and about a foot in width
were seen in all directions. The scene
was one of the strange grandeurs of alb
solute desolatioTE The upheaval of ma
ture had blown the wonderful terraces to
atoms; steam was rising in dense clouds
from one end of the area to the other,
a distance of about nine miles. Rotoma-
hama lake was yawning caIdrOn, from
which rose a majestic column of steam
The ground was completely stripped of
vegetation and covered with Lava from
the mountain. The lava was reduced to
the consistency of -four, so that the ex-
pIorers- sank in it nearly to their knees
In six hours the whole aspect of the Coun-
try had changed, and what was one of the
most beautiful spots in the world was
transformed into a barren country, car
peted in lava and covered with debris.
The geysers, however, still abound in
profusion, and it is possible in time other
terraces may be formed.

year 1892. Through the windows of houses
up and down the thoroughfares of New
York city passers-by caught the glimmer
of lights, the sound of gayety, the ca
dence Of a song.
The custom of seeing the old year out
and the new one in was prevalent then
as now. Supper parties, >theater parties,
dances, We're all excuses for welcoming
the midnight hour and speeding it on
ward to usher in the neXt-tomorrow, the
beginning of 1898. To some hearts the
ringing in Of the new meant the dawn
of hope; to others the ringing out of the
old meant the beginning Of troubles I'M
needed, undreamed.

All day long people had been coming

TONERS had arrived. The neighbors be-
hind their shutters had watched furtively.
Children had stood about the stOop open

For two days there Is nothing on rec
ord to show that anything unusual hap
pened on board. The Courtenays, who
were observed because they were easily
detected to be bride and bridegroom,
were pronounced an interesting pair.
This was due somewhat to Der delicate
beauty and habitually reserved manner,
somewhat to his distinguished and dis
tinctly English appearance, and, some
what after the manner of mankind, to
the fact that they were bride and bride
groom.
On the afternoon of the third day out
young Mrs. Courtenay sat alone, buried
in wraps and rugs which had been care
fully adjusted by her husband. In her

maiden who was that evening to be a
bride.
They had seen her but rarely, which
was easily accounted for.
1t is a saying that people in New York
may live next door to one another for
years and never know even one anotheps'
names, but when daughter is about to
be married the news is carried somehow
10 the parlors and the. boudoirs, as if a.
olrd carried the news. So it was learned
that the young girl about to be married
was Isabella Cutting, the daughter of
FRANCIS Cutting, the millionaire.
The name Of the bridegroom floats from
hCuse to house. 1t is Harold Courtenav
All along the block, from corner to cor
ner, they knew him well. He is tall. stall

Within Harold Courtenay woos his
bride. They have been engaged only a
short time. He thinks her rarely sweet
wonderfully reserved. She suits his Eng
Ilsh taste, his English ideas. She is
brought up quite different from most
American girls. She never goes out with
him alone. She never even receives him
alone. There is always some one with her.
She Is always properly chaperoned. He

says the old adage, and at last Harold
Courtenay claims his reward.
Among the presents was one that the
neighbors had not seen arrive in a jewel
ers wagon nor a furniture van. 1t was
fifty bonds of the Maricopa & Phoenix
Railroad company, of Arizona, which
would yield the young bride and groom
an income of $500.
1t was the gift of Francis Cutting to his
daughter.
Three days later Harold Courtenay sail
ed with his bride for Genoa
1t all seemed as ideal as honeymoon
should be-but here begins a chapter of
fearful tragedy.

ter day when the Courtenays set sail was

five letters. In no one Of them does he
give any reason for his death. At the
close Of one, giving directions about his
property, he wrote: IT must depart this
life. Greet in my name all my good
friends and acquaintance. Good luck to
you. May God bless our beloved coun-
try
To the Duke of Braganza he wrote: IT
must die 1 could not do otherwise. Fare
you well"
The curtness and simplicity of these let
tiers support the belief that Rudolph died
because he thought it the only road open
to soldier and prince. There is no
hint Of any romantic resolution to die
with his beloved. Indeed, in a letter writ
ten only a few days previous he made an
engagement for the Thursday following
his fatal trip to Mayerling. which does
not harmonic with the idea of a prede-
termined suicide.
Whatever may have been the workings
Of his mind, the revolver settled his diff
fculties At 8 o'clock that morning he
was found, dead Rudolphs pistol shot
had eliminated the tragedy of Mayerling.

pail Of fine ash to the depth of half an
inch, and it was afterward found that the
intense darkness was caused by a thick
cloud Of dust blown out by the volcano
to a height so tremendous that it dis
persed over the country some miles away.
The manifestation was accompanied by
intense cold, the thermometer registering
five degrees Of frost. This is explained
by the fact that the. columns of steam
as they came Kissing out of the craters
expanded as they assembled and absorbed
their own heat which became latent 50
that the heat was distracted from every
thing near.
WHAT INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED.
A day or two later the government

spect the seat of the disaster were push
ed rapidly. forward. On the fourth day
after the eruption the party arrived at
Wairoa, the Maori village. There was
scarcely a vestige Of the settlement to
be seen, the whole village had been
crushed beneath the volcanic lava, and
the charred and battered remains of the
little village church and other buildings
protruded above the surface of the de-
post which at first measured four feet
in thickness, but. afterward settled down
to half that depth. One young English
man was killed. as well as the Maoris

lies in the same grave with that Of his
niece Marie.
The inward disturbance of both Ru-
dolph and Marie at the dinner that night
at the castle may be taken for granted.
Yet outwardly each was gay and the
feast was hilarious. For entertainment
there was Brat1lsch. the princes private

THE TRAGEDY AT MAYERLING.
That night Marie babe an early fare
well to the guests In the castle She
had come from Vienna with an unalter-
able decision to push matters between
herself and Rudolph to a crisis. Her al
ternatives were simple-Rudolph or
death. Rudolph had that afternoon firm
ly explained to her his future attitude;
he was ready to give her up. For her,
therefore, there remained only death.
The vial of poison she had brought hid
den in her clothes from Vienna. Placing
it beside her she wrote this note, with

Dear Mother-I am going to die with
Rudolph. We love each other too dearly.
Forgive US and farewell. Your unfortun-
ate -''Marie
Up. S.-Bratfsch whistled wonderfully
This done, she emptted the vial
1t was morning before Rudolph found
her dead-dressed In white, with wreaths
Of flowers next her dark hair. After the
first shock was over his own decision
was quickly made 1t was through his
doing that the slim, white body of the
Little Creek as they called her in
Vienna, lay there rigid in death He,
prince, could offer no defense. The taunts
of servants even who knew of his coward
ice and its victim would be justly flung
at him. Then, under the same roof, lay
Baltazzi ailing unto death. He could never
mount the throne weighted with such
chains as these. Better a bullet and an
end Of it. And there before him lay the
tacit invitation to death Of the woman
who had loved him far too well.
Steadying his hand, Rudolph wrote in
the gray light Of that January morning

the author has been at much pains to
suDstantlate to the extent of 400 pages of
printed matter, is, he claims, the only
one which has ever attempted to do JUS

is his theory:
There were, contrary to repeated ru-
mors, no murders done at Mayerling Ru-
dolph died from his own we'll aimed bull
let. Marie VetSera was also a suicide.
The startling feature of the new theory
Is that Rudolph did not die willingly.
The baroness drank from her little vial
Of poison because Rudolph had told her
there must be a final parting between
them. He had given his oath to the en-
peror. But, dying, she left a note adj
dressed to her mother. This note, which
shortly became famous, was really in

girl, dead because of him, and of the
last words she had written, Rudolph felt
that from so painful a situation there was
no escape for him but death And mas
much as his reason later became known
to his family and to the pope. his death
was not regarded as a sin, and Catholic
burial was permitted. Vetsera's death
