seemed to have turned backward, and
Rembrandt might have found subject
for his genius.
The hurricane shook the windows
with its iron grip, but above the voice
of the gale, piercingly SWEET, rose
the gay airs of Madame Butterfly,
and in the light of many candles,
couples were dancing in .the main
cafe.
For Wednesday night the San Car
los was "a house of a thousand can
dies" And in the dining room, by
their weird light, men and women
we're dancing to the music of Victrola.
But this was no dinner dance, such as
the hotel has known, when soft eve
ming gowns and conventional evening
suits were the order of the evening.
Marooned in the hotel were many
of the yachtmen from New Orleans,
who had taken part in the long dis
tance race and the regatta. In the
afternoon, as the guests of Captain
Pierce and Mr.. Irwin, Of the Spitfire,
and Mr.. Robelo and Mr.. Hogue of
The Violet, a party from the hotel
weer to have enjoyed cruise on the
bya, but the storm having put an end
to this, they had gathered after din
rer in the main cafe, where by the
light of the candles, and chaperoned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Gueringer, of the
Fichtenberger Company, they hac
spent an evening which will never be
forgotten for its weird charm.
'It takes more than record hurri.
cane to put the San Carlos out o1

in speaking of the way in which the
management overcame the Difficult
ties.
at might have been a scenario il

have made good one. There wa
no light in the hotel, except Of candles
and few lamps, that were producec
from somewhere.
'fDid the guests take it good-na
turedly?" AS one of the men said
whose room is on the seventh story
when someone asked him If he misset

ups and downs of life" A time Xix
this brings out the best in people.

"A HOUSE OF A
THOUSAND CANDLES"

The black and deserted city streets
lay still, echoing with the voice of the
incessant wind, swept bare of traffic,
held in the ruthless and unrelenting
grasp of the storm, which had shak-
en- the city from its careless summer
mood.
The people who had swept past
the hotel all day, like so many whirl-
ing dervishes, caught by the imps
of the storm, had found refuge from
the night, and now there was no sound
of passing to break the stiffness,
which lay like something tangible,
about the building, where men and
women, frightened, bewildered curl
Gus were shaken by the voice of the
storm.
The wind which had racked the
world, was shreiking its message of
devastation-telling its tale of wreck
age at sea; whispering its dark Sc
rets of the night, but there was no
other sound in all the world of dark
ness.
Wrapped in the black coat of the
night, the world trembled.
Strange voices seemed to whisper
tales of old days, when Spanish pir-
ates sailed Pensacola Bay, and snug
glers would have welcomed the night
and the black gale.
San Carlos and his men might have
just made port, for all suggestion
there was of civilization on the
streets of the city, swept bare by the
hurricane.
And if without, life, seemed to have
moved back a hundred years or more
