CHAPTER IV.-Continued.,

"Ah, you wish to see the whipping?"
The king smiled his approval. That
is one way we have of furnishing slight
misdemeanors in our kingdom, Cap
tain Plum. 1t is an illustration of our
intolerance of evildoers." He turned
suddenly toward the girl. "Winnsome,
my dear, have you copied the paper

to Captain Plum"
He walked slowly toward her and
for the first time since her warning
Nathaniel had an opportunity of OBJ
serving the girl without fear of being
perceived by the prophet. She was
very young, hardly more than a child
he would have guessed at first; and
yet at second and more careful glance
he knew that she could not be under
fifteen-perhapS sixteen. Her whole
attire was one to add to her childish
appearance. Her hair, which was
rather short, fell in lustrOus dark
curls about her face and upon her
neck. She wore a fitted cOat-like
blouse, and knee skirts which dis
closed a pretty pair of legs and an
kles. AS Strang was returning with
the paper which she handed to him
the girl turned her face to Captain
Plum. Her mouth was formed into
a round red o and she pointed
anxiously to where she had thrown
the note. The kings eyes were on his
paper and Nathaniel nodded to as
sure her that he understood.
Il am like a gardener who cOmpels
every passing neighbor to go into his
back yard and admire his first
sprouts" laughed the prophet jOvially.

humor that Nathaniel found himself

sensations within him. do you write

MORAL VALUE OF CATASTRO
PHIES

1t was voted by the press through
out the world that when the earth
quake occurred on THE Inflated ISL
and of Martinique, that many preach
ers asserted that the cause was a
judgment of Cod" The inhabitants
were represented as being exceedingly
loose in morals, and therefore, doubt
less, deserved to be destroyed, in
somewhat the same way as was the
people of Sodom. When the earth
quake and fire destroyed beautiful
San Francisco, the voice of the
preacher was a little more attuned to
sympathy, but nevertheless, many such
would have it, that such thing would
not have happened had not God seen
reason to annihilate the wicked of
that unfortunate city.
Recently another earthquake of nuge
proportions and doing unspeakable
damage; lives and property being but
as tossed bubbles in the grip of it's
power has occurred Again, but a
little more feebly. we have heard the
voice of the preachers uttering the
thought that punishment was the
idea of Deity in ordering this terri
bic and far-reaching calamity. A very
few years have elapsed between the
first and the last catastrophe, but a
marked modification has been noted
in the utterances of our religious

romance. In August of that year Mr..
