Who Is He?

The tranquility of West DEBORAH has
been disturbed lately during the even.
ings by the appearance of some un-
known character at the residences,
masked with a flowing beard, and ask.

appearance and voice of young man
but is dressed to represent an old man
and knocks at houses and asks to b,
kept over night, but in each case sc
far has fled before being admitted to
the house. 1t is the opinion of those
who have seen him that he is either
demented, or has some mischief in
mind.

CHAPTER III.

could not describe the misery of
Sir Rudolphs household What the
shadow was that lay over it was I'M
able to guess. Husband and wife were
both young and handsome; they had
almost every gift that heaven could
| bestow; nothing was wanting, so far
as | could see, to complete their nappi-
ness; yet they were further apart, it
seemed to me, than If a grave had
lain between them-a thousand times
further apart.
That first Christmas Day that | spent
in England will never die from my
memory. We did not see Sir Rudolph
until dinner-seven o'clock; and then
it appeared to me that my remon-
STRANGE respecting Christmas Day had
reached the kitchen, for the dinner
comprised something in the shape of
Christmas fare-a turkey and a plum
pudding. Some one, in a moment of
| ill-advised enthusiasm, had placed a
pretty little sprig of holly-a few
glossy leaves. with fair sprinkling of
red berries-on the top of the latter
Sir Rudolph looked at it, and then
turned to the butler
What is this?" he asked.
Holly, Sir Rudolph" he replied.
And why has it been put there?" he
continued
Il thought = perhaps Christmas
Day." he said, stammering.
Take it away" commanded Sir
Rudolph sternly.
And the butler with great perturba-
ton of manner and crimson face, re-
moved the unfortunate sprig of holly.
| read the expression of Sir Ru-
dolphs face, and it said, as plainly as
words could speak Il will have no re-
ioicing, no outward sign of rejoicing,
in this house"
And in such fashion Christmas was
celebrated at Ullamere. watched
husband and wife, and was never so
completely puzzled. I could not make
out the cause of disagreement at all.
1t was no petty feeling that actuated
him. that had caused those lines on
Sir Roberts face; one could see that.
Some great deep emotion was at work
within him; and at times 1t almost
overpowered him.
Lady Culmore was beautiful enough
to charm any man, yet she evidently
had no charm for him. Whatever the
mystery might be- felt sure that it
was not that he cared for any one else.
There was something so true, so noble
about him. that no one living could
suspect him of anything wrong. He
was polite to his wife. with cold icy
politeness that was enough to madden
a woman who loved him.

auakes are not always connected or
associated with volcanic eruptions,
yet it is probably true TO say that no
great volcanic eruption ever occurs
without being preceded and accom-
panied by local earthquakes OF greater
or less intensity.
The late Professor Palmieri, who
boldly planted his chronological OBJ
servatory, as well as his home, on one
of the blackened ribs of Vesuvius, just
below the crater cone, learned to feel
the pulse of that quaking mountain As
delicately and accurately as a physt
clan feels that of his patient. And ne
was thus able to predict, and did pre-
dict, coming outbreaks of Vesuvius
in ample time to warn the inhabitants
in its neighborhood.
If there had been similar outpost7

warning of what was coming might
have been sent to the city of st
Pierre, enabling It's tens of thousands
