WARS wAeED OVER TRIPLES.

Nothing is more amazing in the
history of nations than the absurdly
trivial causes which have been suf-
ficient let doose the dogs of war and
deluge continets in blood.
Enclosed in an iron case in the
tower of Modena, cathedral may be
seen today a bucket which 900 years
ago, was the innocent cause OF
terrible war. Some soldiers Of Mo
dena, in a mood of mischief, had stol-
en- the bucket from a public well in
Bologna, and refused to give it up on
demand Fights between the soldiers
of the rival and jealous states ensued,
and from this spark was kindled a
fire of war which devastated a. large
part Of Europe and led to the lifelong
Imprisonment of the king of SARDINIA,
son of the German emperor.
A war in China two centuries and
half ago, which involved the loss of
from broken teapot. The teapot
was the treasured possession of the
emperor, and when he was travelling
through the lawless provinces in the
northwest of China some of his ret
inue, who had fallen behind the main
body, were intercepted by band of
robbers, and among the spoils the tea
pot was found and contemptuously
flung on the ground and broken. The
matter was reported to the emperor
by the indignant Mandarin, a punt
tive force was sent out, and along and
terrible war ensured.
Lord Palmerston used to say that

The war of the Spanish success

outcome of split glass of water at

had expressed a wish for a glass of
water in the hearing of the British
and Spanish ambassadors, who forth

On returning, each holding a tumb-
Ter, they found that the fair bird had
flown and was dancing with a French
statesman; and to crown their dis
comfiture the English diplomat can
noned against the Spaniard and up
set the water he was carrying-an
accident which led to an apology and
an exchange of courtesies. A trivial
and ridiculous incident enough. but it
served to infiame jealousies and CO.
ment sympathies and thus to turn the
balance in the direction of war.

No Market for Moss.

MONT PELE INVITES STUDY.
Projection Caused by Eruption Inter
ests Scientists Everywhere.

Engineering and Mining Journal
The projection at the summit of Mount
Pele-it is no longer spelt Pelee-
which rose to a height of 600 feet
above the old summit of the mountain,
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting features in the study OF that
volcanic vent.
According to Heilprin, Hovey, La
croix and other Observers, it was
thrust up through the crater at the
rate of as much as forty-one feet per
day, until it stood up as sharks
tooth or obelisk far above the old cone.
Professor Lacroix, who headed COM
mission from the French government,
decided-nearly a year ago that it
was an exceedingly viscous acid lava
which had solidified on extrusion, and
rose vertically, instead of flowing out
of the crater in the normal manner OF
lava streams.
Now, however, Professor Angelo
Heilprin states that this towering
mass is none other than the ancient
core of the volcano loosened from its
place and pushed up bodily by the
energy at the volcanic orifice. When
access can be obtained to the crater
so as to obtain fragments of the rock
of which this huge projection is built
up, it should be possible to decide by
microscopic investigations whether the
rock is rapidly cooled viscous lava
or slowly cooled volcanic plug. Tie
solution of the problem will throw
much light on the physiology of vol
canoes.

The two men sat close together,
talking and scheming, little guessing
at the scene that was being enacted
over their heads.
Kate had waited until she had
Iascertained where Clifford Raven was

TOGETHER.

It's aye we two. we two together,
Wandering far thro' the soft spring
weather,
Mocking with glee the mellow tune
OF wildwood bird. The skies of June
Look down on one so blithe as we,
Who Gull the blossoms from wood and
lea,
Caroling clear in the sunny weather,
Its aye we two, we two together"
Again we two, we two together,
Dreaming sweet dreams in the sum-
mer weather;
On the rivers bosom our barque adrift,
We gazing far up in the cloudless lift.
Our sails scarce stirred by the languid
breeze
That floats from blooming magnolia
trees,
While musing we murmur in summer
weather.
q 'Tis ever we two, we two together!"
Once more we two, we two together,
In ciouded autumn or winter weather;
Come dismal rain or come shroud of
snow,
Let night fall soon, and bitter winds
blow;
What though without the world is
drear?
From our snug retreat we still sing
clear
Gladdest in storm or in gloomiest wea-
ther,-

CHAPTER XVII.
Two Lives Wrecked.

Kate, as the door of the house in
Park lane closed after her, drew a
long breath of relief. For the present,
at any rate, she was free.
For the moment one purpose pre-
dominated in her mind. one object
stood out clearly; it was her duty to
right a cruel wrong; Clifford Raven
was Desmond CarrLyon, the lawful
earl, and it was her duty to acquaint
him with the fact.
All thought, all remembrance, of hei
love fer him, the love that sprang into
existence on the night of her first
meeting with him, was overwhelmed
by the desire to do him justice.
He was, and could be, nothing to
her. She was married to the i'm,
postor, Arthur Carr-Lyon. was his
wife in the eyes Of the law; and, if
she were not, she told herself, she
could be nothing to Clifford Raven.
who had deceived her, and was doubt,
less in love with the blue-eyed cir,

But, If she hated instead of loved
him, her duty was still plain before
her.

band, and it was in her power to re,

her mission.
What became of her afterward, she
cared but little.
To reach Clifford Raven. and tell
him with her own lips that he was the
earl of Carr-Lyon, that was her burn,
ing and overwhelming desire.
She called a cab, and told the man
to drive to Waterloo, and arrived a
few minutes before the train started.
Fortunately, she had remembered to
put her purse in her pocket: but. that
she might attract less attention. she
took a third-class ticket, and drew
her veil close over her face as she
entered the train.
While the train remained at the
station she endured agonies of sus
pense and fear.
Every moment she pictured her
fathers or her husbands ap.
pearance on the platform, and
she drew back in the corner of the
car, shivering and trembling. but re.
solved that nothing but physical force
should persuade her to rsnounce her
purpose.
The bell rang. and the train started
Fortune so far favored her that it was
an express, and at half-past three she
reached Sanford.
AS the train drew up al the familiar
station, pang shot through her heart.
She had left it yesterday a bride,
without love for her husband, it is
true, but with n firm resolution TO do
her duty; and now she had returned, a
fugitive. a wife only IN name. and
with the purpose of denouncing the
man to whom she was tied by all the
laws of God and man.
Many a woman would have broken
down under the strain, but Kate was
no ordinary woman.
She had been tTiched and deceived.
but, more than that. she had been
deemed vile enough to assist those
who had t-icked and deceived her into
robbing an innocent and injured man,
and il stung her into strength.
In the disguise which her maid s

from him.
He drew long breath.
To see me? Then-then you have
something to tell me; you are IN

station and walked hurriedly toward
the cliff.
1t was lovely afternoon-one OF
those winter afternoons in which
Devonshire manages to simulate the
spring-and the sun turned the sea to
plain of opal, and lent the fields the
glory of the emerald.
And. as she went, she thought of
her ruined life. and of the dark and
dismal future before her,
The Kate Meddon who had so often
tripped along this very road had
ceased to exist. and in her place was
the deceived and injured wife of the
imposter, Arthur Carr-Lyon.
Once, twice, she stopped and looked
over the edge of the cliff with a weary
and wistful gaze.
Would it not be as well if, after ex-
ecuting her purpose, she were to throw
herself into the smiling sea, and so
make an end of her wasted life? At
any rate, there would be peace and
rest.
But she put the awful thought from
her, and reached the steep path to the
quarry.
She looked down, with her hand
pressed against her heart All was
still and quiet; the men had finished
their days work and gone, and the
only signs of life were the gulls that
fitted to and fro, and the smoke that
rose from the chimney of the cottage.
Slowly, for she was tired, she made
her way down the steep path, and was
crossing the quarry, when she stopped
suddenly, and her heart seemed to
stand still also, for, seated en- a huge
fragment of rock. was the man for
whom she was in search.
He was sitting with his head rest
ing on his hands, his eyes fixed on
the sea, so lost in thought and motion
less that he seemed part of the rock
on which he sat. She saw that his
face was pale and thin, and his hands
were white, and when she stole a
glance at the dark eyes, wave of
pity passed over her heart; they were
the saddest eyes she had ever seen in
all her life!
She began to tremble, as she stood
and looked, and for the first time hel
courage failed her, but, after a mo-
ment or two of undecision, she drew
nearer to him, slowly ,doubtingly.
He did not hear her, so rapt was be
in his sorrowful musing, until she was
close upon him; then he let his hand
fall, and turned his head toward her.
For a moment it seemed as If he
doubted the evidence of his senses;
then his face grew white, and he put
out his hand, as if to detain her.
"Kate!" he breathed.
