The blades sliced off fingers and

And finally the engine "died" and
the propellers stopped. And Turpin
removed his goggles and got down
from his seat. His face was a
bloody mass. He stared dazedly at

She took her cigarette from her lips
and turned her head slightly. Peters
expression was one of amiable reninis-
| cence His cheeks were a trifie
flushed. his appearance was entirely re-
assuring. She laughed at her brothers
caution. She found her companion de-
lightful
Yes; the Count Won Hern is a
friend OF my brothers," she admitted,
carelessly.
And of yours" he whispered, his
| arm slightly pressed against hers.
She laughed at him silently and their
eyes met Decidedly Peter. Baron de
Gross found it hard to break away
from his old weakness! Andrea Ko-
rust, from his place near the piano,
breathed sigh of relief as he watched.
A moment or two later, however,
Mademoiselle korust was obliged 10
leave her companion to receive a late
but unimportant guest. and almost
simultaneously Col. Mayson passed by
on his way to the farther end of the
apartment. Andrea Korust was bend
ing over the piano TO give some in
structionS TO his accompanist. Peter
leaned forward and his face and tone
were strangely altered.
You will find Gen. Noteworthy, of
the Indian army, a little inquisitive,
colonel" he remarked.
The latter turned sharply round.
There was meaning in those few words
without doubt! There was meaning,
too, in the still. cold face which seemed
to repel his question. He passed on

extremely. At the moment of parting
the beautiful eyes of Mademoiselle Ko-

"You will come again very soon
tomorrow night" she had whispered.
IS it necessary that you bring Mad
emoiselle Celaire?"
1T is altogether unnecessary" Peter
replied.
Let me try and entertain you in

1t was precisely at that instant that
Andrea had sent for his sister Peter
watched their brief conversation with
much interest and intense amusement.
She was being told not to invite him
there again and she was rebelling !
Without a doubt, he had made a con-
quest! She returned to him flushed
and with a dangerous glitter in her
eyes.

ing him on one side. Il am ashamed
and angry"
"Your brother is annoyed because
you have asked me here tomorrow
night?" he asked, quickly.
"He is too absurd sometimes" she
declared. Zone must treat him like a

for the moment, thoroughly enjoyed
himself, and, remembering his duty as
a guest, contributed in no small de-
gree toward the success of the enter
tainment He sat between Mademol-
selle Celaire and his hostess, both OF
whom demanded much from him in the
way of attention. But he still found
time to tell stories which were listened
to by every one, and exchanged sallies
with the gayest. Only Andrea Korust,
from his place at the head of the table,
glanced occasionally toward his popu-
lar guest with a curious, half-hldden
expression of distaste and suspicion.
The more the Baron de Grost shone,
the more uneasy he became. The sig
nal to rise from the meal was given
almost abruptly Mademoisells Korust
hung on to Peters arm. Her own
wishes and her brothers orders seemed
to absolutely coincide. She led him
toward a retiring corner of the music
room. On the way, however. Peter
overheard the introduction which he
had expected.
Gen. Noteworthy is just returned
from India, Col. Mayson,' korust
said, in his usual quiet, tired tone.
"You will perhaps find it interesting to
talk together a little. AS for me, l
play because all are polite enough to
wish il, but conversation disturbs me
not in the least"
Peter passed, smiling, on to the cor
ner pointed out by his companion,
which was the darkest and most Sc
cluded in the room. He took her tan
and gloves, lit her cigarette, and leaned
back by her side.
"How does your brother, stranger
to London, find time to make the ac-
qusintance of so many interesting -peo-

Moore of this city. While the c'y of Fl Orc was severely shaken there was less damage in that town than in some of the othrs in that vicinity, prob ably due to the superior construct ion of the buildings in Fl Orc. As 1t was woman and one child were killed under the falling adobe walls. while many were more or less sev- erely injured
 The quake came on Tuesday. Nov ember 19, and since that time a great fear has been over the Mexican pop- ulation, who believe d repetition of the disaster is likely. Some of the families have moved out of the adobe buildings, which are shaky at best and are encamped in the fields or in the public square.
