Fires That Never Go Out

who had come to trade at Sarhad was
the happy means of saving the grand
vizier from assassination. So the
grateful shah of that day ordered that
the fire lighted by the Parsee should
be kept alive indefinitely.
There are some regions OF the
earth. like those inhabited by the Els.
kimos. where the motive for retain
ing fires for long periods lies in the
great difficulty of obtaining means for
lighting new ones. One traveller re-
ports seeing a fire in Lapland that
had not been extinguished during
seven years.
The keeping up of fires for years at
a time is said to be sometimes an in
cident of Sicilian vendetta. The
wronged individual when lighting his
fire of vengeance" is said to take sol.
emn oath that 1t shall not be extin-
guished until his thirst for revenge
shall have been satisfied by the death
of the offending person. There is on
record a trial in Palermo wherein it
was shown that the accused, charged
with murder. had kept his kitchen
fire alight for five years.

CHAPTER TX.

Lady Arabella Stormont was as good
as her word; for that day. two months,
Giles Vernon was put upon trial for
his life at York assizes for the alb
duction of an heiress. Sir Peter Hawk
shaw refused absolutely to counte-
nance Arabella: and my Lady Hawk
shaw, who never had bowed her head
or abased her spirit to mortal man or
mortal woman before, went upon her
knees, imploring Arabella to give over
her revenge-for revenge it was, pure
and simple-but Lady Arabella laughed
at her. Lady Hawkshaw rose from her
knees. crying out:
You have some deep and unknown
reason for this; but 1t will come to
naught, 1t will come to naught!"
But Arabella foun- a person ready
to her hand. who was most active in
the matter. This was Sir Thomas Yer
non of Vernon court. 1t was he who
lodged the information with the public
prosecutor against Giles. and assumed
the part OF Lady Arabella's champion.
OF course, there was some ground for
the version of the story which was
started in Arabella's interest, that a
frightful outrage had been committed
by dragging her of against her will:
and that only the most determined
courage had saved her from mar
riage repulsive to her; that Sir Peter
and Lady Hawkshaw, her next friends.
had basely deserted her; and that Sir
Thomas had chivalrously taken up
her cause. 1t is true that the relative
characters of the Hawkshaws and Sir
Thomas Vernon discounted much of
this; but the actual facts in the case
looked so ugly for Giles that there was
no trouble in securing his prompt ar
rest and delivery in York jail.
The breach between Lady Arabella
and the Hawkshaws, as well as Daph-
ne and myself, was too great to be

came so generously to my aid and I
ask nothing but work to enable me
to live honestly and become a citizen
of this great republic
A practical problem connected with
earthquakes is one that concerns the
architect-namely. the invention of
buildings which will be more capable
of resisting these continually recurr-
ing shocks. To those who dwell on
firmer ground 1t is extraordinary how
the inhabitants of earthquake coun.
tries can go on erecting ordinary
many-storeyed houses. which sooner
or later must come crashing about
their heads or those of their descend
ants. 1t would, of course. be impos.
sible to prevent altogether the de-
struction caused by such an upheaval
as that which destroyed Messina and
Reggie; and 1t is difficuIt to imagine
any form of architecture that could
withstand tidal wave. But the pos.
sibilities of Wholesale ruin might be
to some extent mitigated. even in the
case of the most violent shocks. by
the use of specially constructed one
story dwellings. built of comparatively
light materials. 1t is done In Japan.
and 1t il to be hoped now that 1t
may be tried in Italy and other coun-
tries subject to seismic disturbances.
Fortunately. there is brighter side
to such disasters in the heroism which
they evoke from those on whom de-
wolves the duty Of rescue and recon
struction. The king and queen of
Italy have set noble example of
personal service. while the peaceful
cooperation OF men of many different
nationalities tamong whom Britain
has been proud to see her sailors
prominently in acts OF heroism and
succor will have done much towards
the cause of international friendship
and goodwill.

ton of a relative of his. one Mrs.
Whitall, decayed gentlewoman, and
went to live at small town near
York until the assiZes, when she
would be called upon as the chief wit

were Immediately put forth that Sir
Thomas Vernon was deeply smitten
with Arabella's charms, and that, after
visit with Mrs. Whitall to Vernon
Court she looked very kindly on Sir
Thomas. All this might be true. and
Sir Thomas might flatter himself that
he had won her favor; but, knowing
Arabella well. l did not credit her
with any sincere desire to be kind to
Sir Thomas Vernon, although she
might make him think so, for her own
purposes. l suspected, however, a
motive far deeper. in any matter con-
nected with Sir Thomas Vernon. Over

Thomas was extremely rickety. and

merely telling what had happened,
