The Crater of Mount Etna.

The Crater of Mount Etna.
A writer in Forest and Stream, tell
ing Of his view of the crater of Mount
Etna, says: I threw myself fat upon
the ground with my head over the rim
and took a look down into what the
Sicilians call the mouth of hell. Al
vast column of steam was shooting up
into the heavens. This was so impreg-
mated with sulphurous fumes that was
obliged to keep several thicknesses Of
my shawl over my mouth and nose to-
prevent strangulation. Occasionally &
blast of wind would drive back the
steam, allowing me to see far down
into this horrid inferno. The crater
itself is three miles in circumference.
The inner side of the rim was varie
gated with colors Of red, orange and
yellow from the sulphur fumes. A Mil
ton or a Dante could not do justice to
the terrific grandeur of the scene. Ac-
cording to the ancient Greeks and
Romans, this is the workshop Of Vul-
can, where he FORCES his thunderbolts
for Jove. I could not see the old fellosv,
but the rumbling sound l heard Tar
down in those black depths must have
been he grumbling at his work.

Godere; II know we shall not Every

rusty can hardly stick it through the
cloth. Oh, dearv'
Alice encouraged her with both words
and work, and they had almost finished
when Rene came with staff which he
had brought from the fort.
Mon Dieu, but we have had a great
meeting!' he cried. He was perspiring
with excitement and fast walking
Leaning on the staff, he mopped his
face with blue handkerchief.
I'VE heard much shouting and noise"
said Nine. Godere. M Roussillon's
voice rose loud above the rest. He
roared like lion."
"Ah, he was speaking to us; he was
very eloquent" Rene replied. But
now they are waiting at the fort for
the new flag. I have come for it,
1T is ready" said Nine. Godere.
With flying fingers Alice sewed it to
the staff.
"Voicir' she cried. "Vive la re-
publique Americainev' She lifted the
staff and let the flag ,droop over her
from head to foot.

forth hand for it, land III run to the

Rene was so caught by surprise that
he stood gazing after her until she
passed behind house, where the way
turned, the shining flag ripping around
her and her moccasins twinkling as she
ran.
At the blockhouse, awaiting. the mo-
ment when the symbol of freedom
should rise like star over old Vim

broken into scattered groups, Alice en-

suddenly almost in their midst.

what do you want Of my husband?'
Nine. Roussillon demanded.
Nothing unpleasant, I assure you,
madame" said Beverley.
"Well, he's not at home, m'sieu'; he's
up the river for few days."
She relaxed her stare, united her
eyebrows and even let fall her hands
from her shelflike hips.
'"Thank you, madame" said Bever-
ley, bowling again. II am sorry not to
have seen him.
As he was turning to go a simmer
Of brown hair streaked with gold
struck upon his vision from just with
in the door. He paused, as if in re-
spouse to military command, while
pair Of gray eyes met his with fash.
The cabin room was i'll lighted, but the
crepuscular dimness did not seem to
hinder his sight. Beyond the girls
figure a pair of slender swords hung
crossed aslant on the wall opposite the
low door.
The rough frame Of the doorway
gave just the rustic setting suited to
Alice's costume, the most striking part
Of which was a grayish. short gown
ending just above her fringed buck
skin moccasins. Around her head she
had bound blue kerchief, wide cor
ner of which lay over her crown like
loose cap. Her bright hair hung free
upon her shoulders in tumbled half
curls.
Beverley could not stare at the girl,
and no sooner had he turned his back
upon her than the picture in his mind
changed like a scene in kaleidoscope.
He now saw tall, finely developed
figure and a face delicately oval, with
a low, wide forehead, arched brows, a
straight, slightly tip tilted nose, a
mouth sweet and full, dimpled cheeks
and strong chin set above faultless
throat His imagination in casting or
its first impression was inclined to ex-
aggerate Alice's beauty and to dwell
upon it's picturesqueness. He smiled
as he walked back to the fort and
even found himself whistling gayly a
snatch from a rollicking fiddle tune
that he had heard when a boy.

GEMS IN VERSE

My Mother.
She gave the best years of her life
With joy for me,
And robbed herself, with loving heart,
Unstintingly.
For me with willing hands she toiled
From day to day,
For me she prayed when headstrOnR
youth
Would have its way.
Her gentle arms, my cradle once,
Are weary now,
And time has set the seal of care
Upon her brow;
And, though no other eyes than mine
Their meaning trace.
/ read my history in the lines
OF her dear face;
And, mid his gems, who showers gifts
AS shining sands,
I count her days as pearls that fall
From his kind hands.

The Hawks and the Eagle.
Two greedy hawks one day espied
A fiuttering maybe. Down they sped
And pecked and clawed. both full OF
pride.
An eagle wheeled far overhead.
Up from the bleeding little bird
Went screams for pity. shrieks Of dread.
The hawks stayed not for what they

The eagle still wheeled overhead,
The greedy hawks peck on and claw;
Their sharp and cruel beaks are red.
In their rough dealings might Is law.
The eagles wheeling overhead.
