she went on deck

People moved through the dusk like

The gang plank was pulled IN. The

the steamers deck. broke forth with u
lively air. a man standing near by
laughed.
'If one has to be awake at such an
hour it is Il comfort to know tllat nc

grimly

At the voice she started violently. Was

''But you" gasped the woman.
"Your ship-Cherbourg?"
Hang Cherbourg," said he cheerful
ly. Then his voice dropped.
''Do you think that you were very
kind to me awhile back?" he asked
gravely. Wasn't 1T rather mean to
spring a surprise of that sort on a
man and then run before he could re-

"Oh" expostulated she weakly. This
was a new view of the matter.
II thought it was because you didn't

The mist was drifting out to sea.
The clouds had broken, and in the

They ha9 walked halfway through
the park, and suddenly she sat down
on a bench. He sat beside her. They
were entirely alone save for an old
man at one end OF their seat i'm
mersed in a book. Their 'agitated con
versation continued:
ooh, it is too dreadful" she shudder-
ed as she covered her face with her
hands as if to shut out some unbear-
able sight.
Fearful" he agreed, deeply moved
and hopping the perspiration from his
brow
Horrible" she added 'I cannot
bear to think of it. The loss of hope
happiness, perhaps even life itself"
"Hush!'' he interrupted gently LET
us no longer think of it or it may grow
to prey on our minds"
Pardon me-" said the old man ON
the end of the seat, his watery eyes
distended in lively apprehension, ''has
there been some awful disaster? Have
you been forced to look upon some aw-
full tragedy?'
The young people regarded each 9th
er in some confusion. Hesitatingly the
youth answered.
"No.-sir. You see, we have just be,
come engaged, and we were talking OF
what a calamity it would have been
had we never met"

Derivation of Fad.

The derivation Of the word fad is
possibly traceable in the Welsh Ian
guage. By the law of mutation of mi
tial consonants peculiar to that tongue
the root words ffedd and medd are
convertible terms. Their essential
meaning is possessions; transitive or in
transitive, possession of something or
the act of being possessed or engrOssed
by some occupation or vice. Welsh
medd and Irish, Sanskrit and English
mad have similar meanings and are
probably kindred words. The word
mad is not common in Teutonic idioms,
SO that the Anglo-Saxons probably bor-
rowed it from the Welsh Fad is
therefore equally derivabIe from ffedd.
Fortunately. of course, it comes from
the midland dialects and ultimately
from some root word common to many
members of the Aryan family of
speech. 1t would be strange if the two
words, mad and fad, having a similar
meaning, should be traceabIe to the
same root.-Notes and Queries.

bells announcing the breaking out of
fires in various quarters of the city.
Each earth shock was followed by
walls and prayers from the people,
who were kneeling in the rain and
mud. The first great shock lasted
four minutes and fifty seconds. Such
a long shock had never occurred be-
fore in the memory OF any inhabitant
of Santiago. It caused the bells OF the
churches to ring, pictures swung out
from the walls and there was a great
heaving motion Of the ground. Ex-
perts say that the only thing which
saved Santiago from complete ruin
was that the motion was circular.
The principal shock was from Val
paraiso to Santiago and Meripilla,
with it's center at Limache. The last
two named towns were destroyed, as
were also Quillota and Llaillai.

issues which recently scored extensive
gains. Amalgamated Copper, Atchi-

points, but corresponding gains were
made by Great Northern preferred and
Louisville and Nashville. The market
turned strong before the end of the
half hour, when most of the early
losses were recovered. A feature Of
the first hour was the picking up of
many minor issues.
Following the brief period of com.
parative dullness and lower prices the
market gathered renewed strength in
the second hour. The features were
