"Yes-of some one else. l know.
Don't trouble to finish the axiom"
She looked so prookingly pretty
under the big ivory white sunshade,
all fuffed over with coquettish ruff
fies of chiffon and lined with the soft
pink that lies at the heart of a
Marechal Mel rose, it was all Alec

But the girl, sitting in low steam

dark but with the golden sparkle of
topazes.
He had been her lover SO long

sweet, lazy laugh-but the conscious

casting furtive looks of admiration

VISITED BY EARTHQUAKES.
rewn Of Loa Alamos, CAL. wrecked-Evsry.
Brick Building In the Piace Destroyed
or Badly Damaged.

Los Alamos, Col, Aug. THE
most severe earthquake in the his
tory of this place occurred at 1:2o
Thursday morning. 1t is not possi-
BILE yet to estimate the damage, but
it is very heavy. No lives are known
to be lost, though there were many
narrow escapes. Every brick build
ing in the town was destroyed or
badly wrecked. In nearly every
house windows were broken. Tho
Presbyterian church, q large brick
structure, was RACED to the ground
as was the general store of W. s.
Wickenben, also q brick building.
The shock seemed to have spiral
motion. Goods were hurled from the
shelves of stores and piled in the mid
die of the rooms. Even such heavy
articles as desks were thrown
about. Not q chimney is left stand
ing in the town. All brick walls are
badly damaged, but frame structures
generally escaped serious injury. In
the drugstores not single bottle
escaped, and Kohn's saloon was food
ed with liquor from broken bottles.
The whole town was aroused and
people fled from their homes to the
streets in a panic. There have been
several light shocks since July 81
when the first heavy shock occurred.
But that of this morning exceeded
in violence anything yet experienced.
1t lasted 30 seconds and threw people
from their beds. Los Alamos is .
town of about 600 inhabitants in Sam
Ia Barbara county.
The latest advices received at noon
state that the earth continues to
tremble at intervals of about an
hour and a half. The shocks are
followed by loud reports as from
cannon. The Careaga country for
miles around Los Alamos suffered,
but the shocks were not as heavy
rs at the latter place.
