day before had been a fountain.
The fumes we're dense so that most of
the time nothing could be seen below,
Nevertheless Doctor Shepherd, Mr..
Wood and Alec went down at 5 pm,
wearing wet.sponge nose guards and
without mishap collected the gases from
the flaming cone, returning to the upper
bench at 6:45.
Complete Success.
The experiment was completely sue
cessful, the glass terminals of the tubes
being melted and sealed in the sulphur
fame Of the cone. Several perfect sam
: plies Of the unburned gas beneath the
! fame were in this way collected, the
tubes being Immediately resealed at
the edge of the lava with a gasoline
torch.

This morning, December s, the pool

Otherwise conditions were the same.
With Alec y aid, he having to descend
the ladders again TO the bottom TO dis
lodge them, the ropes and ladders were
all recovered in good condition. Doctor
Shepherd is greatly to be congratulated
in the accomplishment Of this exploit
Of perfect collection OF gas under
hazardous conditions, after waiting for
months in the hope that the volcano
would build an accessible cone.

and l knew she was thinking of her
duty at the Pines. $50 90 back to your
king. and. whether he be ambition or
gold, or both, forget the simple colo
NAL dame who more often plays the
part of dairymaid. And now," she
said, looking into my eyes and laugh.
ing, ''go and seek out every maid over
twenty-nine, and when you have led
them all through the graceful minuet
come back to me-"
And | would do as bid and dance
some old time waltz with some lonely
maid and then return to Miss Ellens
side only to be sent away again to
some one who she noticed was not
dancing. Finally the supper hour was
announced, and l was made happy by
Miss Ellen, who chose me as her part
ner for the march, Just as we were
forming into line some one cried, "1t
is the hour for the wishing stone"
and then one and all, save myself, for
l did not know what was meant by
the wishing stone, Joined in the clamor.
Miss Ellen yielded at length, and, still
holding my hand and bidding me give
the other TO the girl behind me, and so
| on down the line, we started out Of the
house through one of the deep, low
cut windows. We circled the porch,
crossed the gardens and passed down
the terrace. The moonlight filtering
through the trees g1immered brightly
! on the colored frocks as we sped down
| the cedar lane.
At length we emerged on an open
knoll in the center Of which was an
old stone sundial covered with ivy. We
formed a circle round it, and Miss Ell
len, letting go my hand, stood on a step
by its side and, calling one after an
other by name, bade each lay his or her
hand on the bare surface Of the stone
where the Ivy had been cut away and
to make a wish. One looking on might
have thought we were a band of Sc
cret plotters taking the oath of allegi
ance on tomb. 1t was no jesting mat
ter, l could see, for each one in that
gay party approached the stone in ST.
lence and reverence. The only sound
that broke the stiffness was that OF
Miss Ellen's voice as she called each
name in turn. At last my name was

called, little more gently than the
others, l thought, and Miss Ellen, see
ing me approach, held up her hand and
mOtiOned me to stop.
"And now, Mr.. Palmer" heard her
saying, "as stranger to the wishing
stone it behooves you to approach it
reverently. There is no reason to tell
the others this, for they know the
| legend and its secret charms, but to
you, who know it not and who come as
stranger to it, tempt not its anger by
deriding it, even in your thoughts, or
! its Indifference by wishing for what
Is impossible. 1t was at this stone that
my great great grandfather wished for
his bride and in less than fortnight
they were wed. He enjoined his sons
TO seek this spot before woOing the wo-
men of their choice, and it is a strange
| catality that all our family who have
not done so have gone to their graves
| lnloved old bachelors and the women
! who have dcrided it as old maids. OF
! later years it has become the custom
| for lovesick youths and maidens in the
| town and county to seek it out and test
! its charms, and many a happy home
owes more than we may imagine to the
! legend which clings about this ivy col
cred dial The moment has arrived
when you can test its power too"
Already l had become a firm believer
| in the wishing stone Laying my hand
on it and looking into the lovely eyes
Of Ellen, ] made my wish and added
prayer that it might find favor with
| the fates. After | had finished we
! joined hands again and made three
circles around the stone. Then all be-
gan to laugh, and some one started up
the rollicking chorus Of
'Tis love, tits love.
'Tis love that makes the world so round.
All joined in save Miss Ellen and me,
for we strolled back somewhat slower
than the others.
what did you wish?" l asked, but
she only shook her head and said she
could not tell.
II wished that YOU / got no fur
ther, for she gave a startled cry that
checked me before / could finish the
sentence.
"Don't-oh, don'tr' she said. You
have already said too much. ought
to have told you not to tell your wish.
