CHAPTER XII.

Tho Conscience Quickened.
They had spent the morning to-
gether, but not as usual. Things were
different, conditions had changed. For
the first time in years the daily lesson
which she had given him was inter.
mitted. To-day they were both at
school with Love for preceptor and
such willingness in their hearts az
made them ideal pupils. The storm
had died away as suddenly as It
had arisen. No visible evidence of It
was left save the tremendous thunder
Of the long undulating seas upon the
outward barrier. The earthquake had
not greatly damaged the island, the
fallen cliff. few PROSTATE palms here
and there. that was all. But there was
visible evidence in them of the storm
through which they had passed and
which still held them in its throes,
In the tumult of their souls.
To the man the experience Of the
morning was absolutely new and to
the woman 1t was so different from
what had hitherto transpired that It
was practically so. They luxuriated
in their emotions. They sat side by
side, hand in hand: they walked to.
gether, hand in hand. Yet it was the
woman who was the holder, the
woman who made the advances. The
man was not passive. Kiss for Kiss.
look for look, word for word touch
for touch, he gave, but the initiative
was hers not his. He was putting
constraint of steel upon himself. She
saw that and was glad. 1t made her
bold. Womanlike she tried and tested
the blade that she had forged again
and again. growing daring in her i'm
munity, Drawer in her trust.
They stood in one part of their wan
derings before the door of what had
been her cave. Hand in hand they
looked down upon the heap of rocks
that he had torn away. 1t was moth
ing to him; to her it was incredible.
She could better estimate what human
strength was capable of than he. She
had standards of comparison which he
lacked.
1T cannot be possible that you lifted
that boulder and that one, alone?" she
said, gazing at him wonderingly.
AT that moment, to release you, l
could have torn the rock asunder," he
cried, throwing out his arms in mag
nificent gesture of strength and force.
She caught his hand with her own
and once more pressed her lips with
in his palm.
I don't know how to say how much
| love you,' she cried.
Say that you will try to care as
much for me as l for you and l will
be content he answered.
And SO there was pretty rivalry
between them as to which loved the
more. In the midst OF the strife OF
tongues the woman spoke. She could

ESTIMATES OF DEAD VARY
Foreign Officers Place Total Higher
Than Italian.

Naples, Jan. 5.-Foreign officers
who have explored the ruins on both
sides of the straits give higher esti-
mates of the loss of life than Italian
reports. They believe that 10000 per-
sons have either been killed or
trapped in the ruins of Messinaf and
10000 at Reggio, where the tidal wave
at Messina.
Signor de Nava, Reggie member
Of the Italian chamber of deputies,
has personally traversed most of the
earthquake region on both sides of
the straits. He estimates the total
death roll at $4,000 and the wounded
at 100000. Of the dead Signor de
Nava calculates that $4,000 are at
Messina, $4,000 at Reggie and 1000
at other coast and interior towns af-
fected. The radius of destruction ex-
tends thirty miles north and south on
the coast of Sicily and on the main
land for an equal distance below Radi-
cena towards the south.
Although the Italian authorities
were seemingly dazed at first by the
magnitude of the disaster and lost
some valuable time by the refusal OF
the commanding admiral to accept for
eign aid the situation is now greatly
improved. Ample supplies of all kinds
are available, including surgical in
struments and hospital accessories.
Foreign relief societies have been or
ganized in several coast towns in Sic
lily, to which wounded had been trans
ported. Forty-fve English speaking in
habitants. under the direction of Mr.
Wood, the American artist, are con-
ducting an Anglo-American hospital at

COURT RULES OUT
CERTAIN QUESTIONS
No Unnecessary Scandal in ETb
Murder Case.


Media, Pa, Jan. 5.-Judge Johnson,
In the trial of Mrs. M. Florence Erb
and her sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel,
for the murder of Captain J. Clayton
Erb on Oct. last, appears to be de-
termined to keep out Of the proceed
ings any unnecessary scandal not di-
rectly bearing on the case. Mrs. Erb
was under cross-examination and Dis
trict Attorney MacDade continued his
examination in an attempt to break
down her story that she had been
cruelty treated by her husband. The
district attorney endeavored to find
out from the witness whether she had
lived with another man before she
went to "Red Cables the Erb coun-
try home, but the question was object
ed to by the defense. Mr.. MacDade
said he asked the question because
the witness said she had stood for
Erb's treatment because she did not
want her mother to know of her rela-
tions with Erb. He wanted to show,
he said, that Mrs. Erb "could have
had no such twinges of conscience" I"
II want to prove" he said, that
she was not the innocent she pictures
herself to have been, that she had no
reason for staying at "Red Cables
and that, therefore, she could not
have been so cruelty treated as she
says" The court, however, sustained
the objection. 49,. fl. .-E.
Mrs. Erb denied having been unduly
familiar with certain men whose
names were not mentioned and said
she had fired revolver out of win
dow to scare Captain Erb from COM
ing back to the house after he had
dragged her out of bed one morning.

MANY TAKEN FROM RUINS
Fifteen Thousand Rescued Alive at
Messina.

Rome, Jan. 5.-Parliament will be
convoked Jan. II. The minister of
war says that the forts around Mes
sina, which contain tons of powder
and millions of cartridges, have not
been injured. He also says that while
he was at Messina at least $4,000 per-
sons were taken from the ruins, in
jured and uninjured, of which number
1000 were saved by the Russians and
1000 by the English sailors.
The Italian navy has sent 600 tons
of provisions to the affected district.
All the treasure found has been placed
aboard the warships. One pocketbook
was picked up containing $4,000 and
much clothing has been found at Mes,

Stricken District.
Rome, Jan. 5.--No serious damage
has resulted from any of the new
earthquakes, according to reports
made to the government.
There have been recurring shocks
In Stromboli and distinct shock in
Southeastern Sicily Messina Reg

cities have also been slightly shaken
A tremor hardly appreciable was
felt at Pcsaro and Fano, Adriatic
coast towns in the department of Mar
chest, many miles northeof the recog-
nized quake region.
y While but little damage has been
done by this new series it has served
to terrify the people throughout all of
Italy, as it is feared that another vio-
lent shock will come and duplicate
the ruin wrought along the Strait of
Messina.

turbances are lasting an unusually
long time and that the "earth's un.
rest" is likely at any moment to mani
fest itself in another wrench such as

dered to Naples.
washington, Jan. 5.-The First divi-
sion of Admiral Sperry's battleship
fleet has been directed to go to Ma
pies to assist in the relief work. The
remainder of the fleet is to be dis
tributed at various points on the
Mediterranean at Admiral Sperry's
discretion. None of the other Italian
ports are to be visited by the Amer
ican battleships.
The decision against the warships
visiting other Italian ports was on the
ground that it was inadvisable, in
view of Italy's great grief, to permit
the men to have entertainments or
shore leave there. Two of the battle
ships will go to Toulon, France, and
two others Traditional to the Ohio
and MissourD will go to Turkish ports.
This programme will not interfere
with the assembling of the fleet, as
originally contemplated, at Gibraltar
prior to their leaving for Hampton
Roads.

Stenches Arising From Countless
Decomposing Bodies.
Messina, Jan. 5.-There is reason
to believe that the devastation by
earthquake Of Calabria and Sicily is
not yet at an end. Further heavy
shocks have been predicted for Jan. z
and Jan. s, when the relative position
of the sun and moon will produce the
greatest strain on the crust of the
earth. Several minor shocks were ex-
perienced Saturday and many totter-
ing walls were thrown down, but it
is not known that any persons were
killed. The new quakes are starting
the fires afresh and the people are in
a condition bordering on panic.
Messina is to be evacuated entirely
as soon as possible. The disposition
Of the dead is one of the greatest
problems confronting the authorities.
Two days spent amid the ruins Of
Messina and Reggie bring convincing
evidence that the horror of the situa-
ton in the Straits of Messina has in
no sense been exaggerated. Ir
Messina and Reggie have ceased to
exist. In the ruins of the former city
two-thirds of the inhabitants lie bur-
led, while at Reggie one-half the peo-
pie lost their lives. Messina counted
100000 aid Reggie $4,000 souls.
Sickening stenches arise from the
countless decomposing bodies and the
air for many miles out to sea is pol
luted. Vultures are congregating to
prey upon the dead. t~ III.
The radius of ruin and death ex-
tends back with decreasing intensity

for thirty miles in Sicily.
