Raoul's first thought, after Christine
Daaes fantastic disappearance. was
to accuse Erik. He no longer doubt
ed the almost supernatural powers OF
the Angel of Music, in this domain OF
the opera in which he had set up his
empire. And Raoul rushed on the
stage. in mad fit of love and despair.
Christine! Christinel" he moaned,
calling to her as he felt that she must
be calling to him from the depths OF
that dark pit to which the monster
tine!"
And he seemed to hear the girls
screams through the frail boards that
1eparated him from her. He bent
I forward. he listened. he wan.
dered over the stage like madman,
All. TO descend. to descend into that
pit of darkness every entrance to

People pushed him aside. laughing
They made fun OF him. They thought
the poor lovers brain was gone!
BY what mad road, through what
passages of mystery and darkness
known to him alone had Erik dragged
that pure-souled child to the awful
haunt, with the Louis-Philippe room,
opening out on the lake?
"Christine, Christine! Why
don't you answer? Are you
alive? -

great on the stage itself Men rushed
from the wings to the spot where
Christine had been singing that very
instant The performance was inter
rupted amid the greatest disorder.
Where had Christine gone7 What
witchcraft had snatched her away be-
fore the eyes OF thousands of en-
thusiastic onlookers and from the
arms Of Carolus Fonta himself7 1t

carried her up ito rest"
Raoul, still standing up In the am
phitheater. had uttered cry. Count
Philippe had sprung to his feet in his
box. People looked at the stage, at
the count, at Raoul, and wondered II
this curious event was connected in
any way with the paragraph in that
mornings paper. But Raoul hurried
ly left his seat, the count disappeared
from his box and, while the curtain
was lowered, the subscribers rushed
to the door that led behind the scenes.
The rest OF the audience waited amid
an indescribable hubbub. Every one
spoke at once. Every one tried to sug.
gest an explanation OF the extraor-
dinary incident.
At last. the curtain rose slowly and
Carolus Fonta stepped to the con-
ductor's desk and. in a sad and seri-
GUS voice, said:
Ladies and gentlemen. an un-
precedented event has taken place
and thrown us into a state of the
greatest alarm. Our sister-artfst.

Boys Prefer tho Farm.

The farm boy has tremendous ad

trained to self-reliance. to perform

has sound body. He is eminently

Great Plague Of london.

Medical authorities agree that the
epidemic which prevailed in London
In 1865 was what we now call bu.
bonic plague. 1t is well known that
this Black Death" was prevalent In
various parts OF the world in ancient
times. The outbreaks were peculiarly
violent then by reason of the copdi.
tions of poverty and the almost total
absence of sanitation. 1t was the an.
cient medical writers who gave it the
name Of the plague.
The mortality In London in 1865
was appalling. Thousands were swept
away by the dread malady, and there
was great exodus from the stricken
city. Some Of the medical authorities
thought 1t had been brought into Lon.
don in bales of merchandise ccmins
from Holland. which originally came
from the Levant; others contendet
that 1t was brought in by Dutch pris
oners Of war.
