CHAPTER XIV.

The launch gained the inner harbor,
and the white ships at anchor were seen
vague phantoms in the vapor-French
Steamers Italian barques, and the small
or West Indian craft-all with their work
to do and their way to win. Constable
heard one officer shout to another, in
curing 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 large frame ware
house was ablaze. The tinder-dry struc-
turc was being destroyed with almost ex-
Qlosive speed.
Wait for me here" Constable said to
the sailor, as the launch scraped the
Sugar Landing
hliSteriug 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
group of maidens. Was it not good to
live, since the sun shone again and the
mountain did not answer the sainted
oelIS: 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 ;
mat the heat was such as no man had
ever felt before and many sat in misery
upon the ground; true, indeed that voices
OF hySteria came from the novels, and the
breath of uncovered death from the by
Mays-out the gala spirit was not dead.
1ne bells were calling; the mountain
was still; bright dresses were abroad
SoF the torrid children of France must
laugh.
Constable fell in with the procession
On the way to the cathedral. Reaching
lNere' he climbed to huge block of stone
III the square, and hurled broadcast the
germ of fight. Many had seen him be-
'ore when his face was haggard. He
was smiling now. There was color in his

One of the planks in the Democratic

One of the planks in the Democratic
platform is as follows:
I'VE favor an income tax as part Of
our revenue system, and we urge the
submission of a constitutional amendment
specifically authorizing Congress to levy
and collect tax upon individual and cor
porate incomes, to the end that wealth
may bear its proportionate share of the
burdens of the federal government"
When, in 1896, the Democratic plat
form favored income tax legislation with
out waiting for an amendment it was
charged that the party intended to pack
the court. Now when an amendment is
asked for, the World calls it an aban-
Comment of the income tax. 1t is hard to
please some people.

net position has generally been consid-
cred more desirable than the vice presi-

presidency and the occupant deserves the
prominence and prestige which would
come from more intimate official associa-
ton with the executive"

Hon. Fl. G. Bell is going to contest the
election of Speaker Cannon in the Dan
vile district. Mr.. Bel! is a Simon pure
Democrat and a great campaigner. AS
his platform will probably endorse all of
the reforms that were turned down in the
Republican convention, he is likely to
give Uncle Joe" sure enough race, and
if he is elected, that district will have
a brand of unadulterated Democracy.

CHAPTER XIV.

When the launch entered the denser
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, and the
clean, yalorous act of her lover now, hung
the defined terror lest Pelee should inter-
vene. She heard Macready's step ut the
door; the calm voice of an officer on the
bridge the morning bells.
The pale winding sheet was unwrappcd
from the beauty Of morning. Though a
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 filled. But sometimes Pelee
would burst into the deepening channel of
thoughts effacing the whole, and leaving
her. shrieking, dishevelled creature, in
the midst of chaos which would not an

officer. invited her to ascend the bridge.
He was scrutinzing through the glass
blotch of smoke on the city front. What
do YOU make of it, Miss Stansbury?" he
asked.
The lenses brought to her nucleus of
red In the black bank. The rest Of Saint
Pierre was a 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

shortly afterward the trumpetings of
the monster began. The harbor grew
vellowish-black. The shore crawled deep
or into the shroud, and was lost alto
gether. The water took on foul look,
as II 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
eve. Blue Peter, dropping at the fore
mast. livened suddenly into spasm OF
writing, like hooked lizard. The black,
ouiyeriny columns of smoke from the fun
nals were famed down upon the deck,

him as he walked. There was no waning
nor wearing-save a wearing brighter,
pernaps-of the images she had put in
his mind. The night had brought him
palaces and gardens and treasure houses
everywhere he turned, new riches broke
upon him. That her face had lain be-
tween his hands; that his hands had
brought that face to his own; that her
whispers, kisses, condolences her prayers
and passions and coming years, all found
their center and origin in himself, like
bright doves that had a cote within his
heart-these thoughts lifted the poor man
to such heights of praise and blessedness
that he seemed to shatter the dome Of hui
man limitations, and emerge crown and
shoulders into the illimitable ether.
The road up the morne stretched blind

the vicious pressure of heat, holding his

the gables of the plantation house, above
the palms and mangoes, gold-brown in the
dazzling haze.

On the porch of the plantation house,
twenty yards away, stood the mother of

north. At the steps he fell, caught her

lawn, through the roaring black, he bore
