CHAPTER XIV.

When the launch entered the dpnser
cloud and faded from her sight, Miss
Stansbury retired to the cabin. Over all
her thoughts of the unhallowed parting
from her mother the night before, ond the
clean, valorous act of her lover now, hung
the defined terror lest Pelee should inter
vene. She heard Macready's step at the
door; the calm voice of an officer On the
bridge; the morning bells.
The pale winding sheet was unwrapped
from the beauty of morning. Through Il
port-hole she saw the rose and gold on
the far, dim hills. Her eyes smarted from
WEAKNESS, but her mind, like an auto.
matte thing, swept around the great cir
cle-from the ship to the city, to the
house beyond the morne and back again.
She saw him in the launch, in the midst
Of native groups on the shore, in the
plantation house, begging her mother to
listen, importuning Uncle Joey to take
her to Fort de France returning through
the streets with people following-the
crowded launch, and then the joy Of emp
ty arms filed But sometimes Pelee
would burst into the deepening channel Of
thoughts. effacing the whole, and leaving
her, a shrieking, dishevelled creature, in
the midst of a chaos which would not an
swer. She went on deck. Laird the first
officer, invited her to ascend the bridge.
He was scrutinzing through the glass a
blotch of smoke on the city front. "What
do you make of it, Miss Stansbury" he
asked.
The lenses brought to her a nucleus Of
red in the black bank. The rest Of Saint
Pierre was gray doll settlement, set in
the shelter of little gray hills. She
could see the riven and castellated crest
of Pelee, weaving his black ribbon. 1t
was all small silent and unearthly.
"That's fire on the Shore" she said.
EXACTLY" said Laird.
Shortly afterward the trumpetings Of
the monster began. The harbor grew
yellowish-black. The shore crawled deep
er INTO the shroud, and was lost alto

CHAPTER XIV,

The launch gained the inner harbor,
and the white ships at anchor were seen
vague phantoms in the vapor-F'rench
steamers, Italian barques, and the small
er West Indian craft-all with their work
to do and their way to win. Constable
heard one officer shout to another, in
quiring if Saint Pierre was in the usual
place or had switched, sites with Hades.
The day was clearing rapidly, however,
and before the launch reached shore the
haze was so lifted that Pelee could be
seen, floating a pennant of black out to
sea. In the city a large frame ware
house was ablaze. The tinder-dry struc-
ture was being destroyed with almost ex-
plosive speed.
"Wait for me here" Constable said to
the sailor. as the launch scraped the
Sugar Landing.
A blistering heat rushed down from the
expiring building to the edge of the land.
Crowds watched the destruction. Many
of the people were in holiday attire. This
was the Day of Ascension, and Saint
Pierre would shortly pray and praise at
the cathedral. Even now the bells were
calling, and there was low laughter from
a group of maidens. Was it not good to
live, since the sun shone again and the
mountain did not answer the sainted
bells? 1t was true that Pelee poured
forth black streamer with lightning in
its folds true that the people trod upon
the hot gray dust Of the volcanoes waste
that the heat was such as no man had
ever felt before and many sat in misery
upon the ground; true, indeed that voices
of hystera came from the novels, and the
breath of uncovered death from the BY

as If the bed of the sea were churned with
some beastly passion. The anchor chain
drew taut, mysteriously strained, and
banged a tattoo against the steel-bound

volcano. Lara felt Macready pulling at
her arm.
"Ye mufiht go below, miss. Ye know
me ordhers."
She rebelled with sudden vehemence,
declaring that she would smother down
there.
You can do no good here, sure. Don't
make it crool fur me?"
Make haste below, miss-squall com.
ing" commanded Laird. Gentleness and
jollity were gone from the large red face.
She suffered herself to be drawn down
the ladder, crushed by the officers words,
and the iron fingers of fear closing about
her heart. A hot, fetid breath charged
the air. The water danced, alive with the
yeast of worlds The disordered sky in
toned violence. Pelee had set the foun-
dations to trembling.
Lara drifted into the open polar region,
Despair. These men were all his friends.
She must not hinder them. They had much
to do. Her part was self-efacement- In
the darkening passageway she heard
Laird shouting orders above, heard him
command the native women to tumble be-
low" and the sailors to seal the ways
after them, heard the deep sea language
and-"barometer' Constable"
There were running feet, bells
below, cries from the native women, quick
oaths from the sailors. The ship rose and
settled like feather in breeze.
She was incapable of swift action.
Macready lifted her into the cabin and
slammed the door, rushed to the ports and
screwed them tight with lightning fingers,
led her to a chair and locked it in its
socket.
That's the Deere" he said breathless-
ly. "Shud so much as a shpark from the
mountain raise so much as a bloosh upon

foriver an iver."
Its very good Of you,' she answered
DULY.
She sat very still, not daring to relax
the rigid tension of her face, her hands
or her brain, lest the scream of madness
break forth. From out the shoreward
darkness thundered vibrations which rem
dered soundless all that had passed be-
fore. Comets flashed by the port holes
The ship shuddered and fell to her star
board side.
Eight bells had just sounded when the
great thunder rocked over the gray-blacA
harbor, and the molten vitals of the mon
ster. wrapped in black cloud, filled the
heavens, gathered themselves, and plunged
down upon the city and the sea. As fo
the de Stael, eight miles from shore ant
twelve miles from the craters, she seemed
TO have fallen from a habitable plane
into the fire-mist of an unfinished world
She heeled over like biscuit tin, dipping
her bridge and gunwales. She was del
uged by blasts of steam and molten stone

ing in half-dozen places, she was sucked

States for the calendar year 1907.
This statement is issued in advance of
the annual report on the production of ny
draulic cement in the United States which
Is now in preparation, and is based on re-
turns from all the active cement plants in
this country
The total production Of all kinds of ny
draulic cement in 1907 was s., go, 342 bar
rels, valued at So, 903 Sol.

GOLD CIRCLE OPERATORS
INDULGE IN A BANQUET

A number of prominent mining opera
tors who are interested in Gold Circle
district had banquet at the klondike ho-
tel. GOlconda, last Tuesday evening, at
which time many matters of interest were
discussed pertaining to operations in this
very promising field, says last week 5
Gold Circle Miner. Willard F. SNYDER
was selected as POSTMASTER and at once
took the head of the table. On his right
was Mark w. Musgrove, editor of the
Gold Circle Miner. A. II. Abbott a prom
inent Goidfield operator: Louis d. Cor
don of Round Mountain fame; H w.
Lane, who has very valuable interests in
Gold Circle district, and a well known
mining operator. On Mr.. Snyder's left
were ]. z. Gelder, who has extensive in
terests in Phoebe district and other parts
of Nevada; ]. K. Turner, mining enei-
neer and consulting engineer of the A
ID. Myers mining interests. with offices
in Reno. and w. r. Grant connected
with a mining machinery house at Reno
and q well known operator.
While this was an informal affair. II
was a very pleasant one. and these gen.
tlemen expressed their confidence in the
great future Of the camp. Among other
things discussed was the objects of the
Gold Circle club, whicit it was believed
would fully meet the demand for the prop
er entertainment of visitors in Gold Cir
Gle district.
1t is probable that It is unnecessary
to say that this spread was all that could
be had and fully satisfied the appetites
of eight hungry gentlemen.

GOOD NEWS STILL COMING
FROM CAMP OF BLAINE

The latest and by far the most encour-

camp of Blaine was that made yester-

ANOTHER STRIKE MADE
In GRANITE DISTRICT

News of the latest gold strike made in
the Granite district was confirmed late
yesterday afternoon when the assay re-
turns were given by Ed Willard & Son, on
a surface sample of gold-bearing quartz
which yielded $3.50 per ton in the yellow
metal, says the Ely Mining EXpositor.
The sample was broken from an Outcrop

for himself and P. ]. Jackson, northwest
OF the Blaine townsite, a few days ago,
and the assay just made is probably the
first to have ever been taken from the
ground.
Messrs. Murphy & Macnichols, who re-
turned from Hawhide but few days ago,
came In Thursday evening after spending
the day at Blaine looking over the mines
and prospects. They state that they saw
more actual gold in the Blaine district
In a few hours time than they saw dur
ing their two weeks visit to Rawhide.
Lots in the new town of Blaine are
finding ready sale on the Ely market to
local people. Since the completion of the
plat yesterday morning thirty lots have
been contracted for. Lumber and ma
terial left Ely yesterday for many new
buildings in the town. where fully 100 peo-
pie are now said to be located. The boom
and the excitement over the latest gold
strike in the state is on in full blast
and the mines are working with full forces
of leasers and laborers extracting the pre-
clOuS metals.

the statement that the ore will easily
assay $l0o to the ton. With the discovery
of the vein at this depth comes the as
surance of the permanency Of the mine
and the camp. and all was rejoicing at
Blaine yesterday.
The rush to the camp continues. Those
who have gone In have come out more
than satisfied and encouraged by what
they saw, and with the intention of re-
turning.
Among those who have returned in the
past few days are John Slattery, John 8.

other practical mining men, and all ex-
press themselves as we'll pleased with
what they saw, most of them acquiring
some interest in the district. Mr.. Stat
terry purchased two lots in the town of
Blaine and expects to engage In business
there shortly.
Hathaway two weeks ago located three
claims for himself and Mike Durkin, an
engineer at the GirouX. adjoining the
