ness of commanding general in time
of danger, Principal Pearson quietly
and quickly formed the students intC
marching column and passed then
down and out The scare was over in &

L
Persons who have suffered with
rheumatism for years, believing that
| there was no cure for their cases, have
been agreeably surprised by getting well
under DR. McElwee's treatment. As is
well known, the doctor has visited Viro-
qua for several years and the cures that
he has made are quite numerous. Nc
doubt the doctors experience as a resi-
dent physician at the Hot Springs has
| given him special opportunities to OBJ.
serve and treat chronic diseases gener-
ally. In these painful cases of rheuma-
tism, as well as stomach troubles of long
| standing he is said never to fail to effect
a cure. John Roethe, who suffered with
rheumatism for so many years aud got
no help anywhere is now fully recovered
under DR.. McElwee's care.

The place was about as large as Viro
qua at the time we left there. There
were only eight people killed. This wa:
about the center of the disturbance, con
sequently was the only place in the state
where serious damage was done. The
first week after the shock we had heavy
rains and we have ascertained thai
the earthquakes are beneficial. in thi,
respect, at least, Our fruit growers aut
others have depended upon irrigation

and poor held high rcvel. and there were
SMILES in prisons and happiness in hos
pitfalls. Newsboys feastcd like lords. home
less men were given chance to eat to
replc;ion. and nowhere in the city does 1t
seem possible that any person could have
gone without n dinner
Never before was Christmas so gen
orally celebrated. nor SO much done by
those who were able for others whose
holiday time would have been sad with
out them
Society entertained in its usual way
with house parties and dances. but in the
homes oc the poor there were many hnp-
py families. There the shrubs chcaply
decorated brought rs much fun as the
large tree loaded with expensive gifts.
Political leaders renewed their strength
with their constituents by furnishing n
banquet free to all, and societies having
rented halls set huge tables grooming with
good things for those unable to provide
for themselves.
Many out of town parties were given
by society leaders. Mrs. Howard Could
gave an entertainment to 800 village chill
drcn at Fort Washington, on Long Is
land. Mr.. George Gould held Christ
mas party ut Georgian Court Lakewood,

We're at the Garden as early as half past
s o'clock preparing for the coming of the
crowd. Accompanying them were at least
100 soldier boys and lassies who immcdi-
ately set to work preparing the dinners
and decorating the amphitheater for the
festival.
Arranged on the main floor of the Car
den were "a long tables On these the
dinner was served. One immense table
extending from the entrance on Madison
avenue to the exit on Fourth avenue was
piled with baskets. There were 5000 of
these baskets. and each one contained
chicken, four pounds of potatoes, two
pounds of vegetables, loaf of bread,

sugar and Il quarter of n pound of coffee.

Crandall was about to turn away he thought
he heard the music Of q mschevous laugh.
During all that day. and during nearly all
the night he worried over the truth that the
picture had been taken by his heart instead
of his mind. The next morning he was on
the pier when the sun arose and his eye
swept the flashing water, but he did not see
her; and after waiting until noontime he
returned TO the house to brood over her,
to gaze inward at her picture, with hair
streaming like a flame. Late in the after
noon he wandered by the wooded shore and
suddenly he halted, with his heart beating
hard, for there she sat beneath a pine tree,
gazing out upon the quiet water. He hated,
stood and looked at her. and she did not
withdraw her eyes from the sleeping sea-
for she had not heard him; hut he stepped
back, to retreat in the timidity that sud
denly had come upon him. a twig snapped
beneath his foot and she looked round.
II beg your pardon" said he and she re-
piled: ooh, no, but | beg your pardon for
laughing when you were driven away from
our gate"
He sat down beside her and she made no
objection. And they talked with freedom
that cut an hour short At last voice
called her and she started up declaring that
she did not know it was SO late. "lIe called
you Marette," said Crandall. at pretty

"Good-by," she said, running away from
him.

bounding up, he furiously attacked the bag.
1t was his intention to go out upon the wa
ter early the next morning in the hope of
seeing her, but the dawn came with a lash
ing of rain on the roof But later in the
day he went over to the "Piratage" There
was high fence about the house, and the
rusty iron gate was fastened with
chain and paddock. lie shook the gate and
shouted and after time an old man with
a bushy head of fierce looking hair came out
upon the veranda and demanded to know
the cause of such disturbance at his gate
Crandall replied that no disturbance was
intended, and then the old man asked him
what he wanted Crandall didn't know ex.
actly what to say-he didn't care to blurt
out that he wanted to see the girl, so he re-
marked; "Why, you see, we are neighbors,
and"
"Oh, we are!" the old man broke in.
"And if that's the case don't you think you
ought to have waited for me to call firstY'

would have been more formal; but l am
willing to dispense with formality."
"But ! am not" said the old man, step.
