great explosion, and which was felt
in half dozen cities and towns of

the attention of puzzled scientists to-

explain the origin of the series Of
tremors which yesterday was regis
tered on the Harvard University
seismograph.
The shock was felt almost entirely
to the northwest Of Boston. The city
proper felt nothing.

CHAPTER LKI
In the sunshine Of late after
neon, the hospital seemed an al
most cheerful place when Mary
Rose and her mother came
into It.
It was o'clock, and the sup
per trays stood on their wagons
in the wide Railways. Nurses
fitted here and there in their
cracking white and blue uni
forms.
One or two OF them looked
curiously at Mary Rose as she
and Mrs. Middleton followed
Toms father up to Room 81.
They had all heard the story of
the wedding last night. Of coui Sc,
and wanted to see the bride who
was so soon to be widow.
The white door ef Toms room
stood open, and a band of slant

where he lay. He looked better
to Mary Rose than he had last

really were dying.
His face was not so gray, his
eyes were almost unnaturally
bright, and the sheet rose and fell
with his breathing. Then Mary
Rose saw that 1t was rising and
falling much too quickly and un-
evenly.
And, as she bent over him, she
could hear a queer little grating
noise in his chest. She wondered
what it could be
He looked up at her and his
lips moved as If he were trying
to say something.

she knew from the look in his
eyes that he could hear every
word she said. 'old boy. we did
get married, after all. didn't we?
And I'n1~glad of it." She put her
arms around him.
He closed his eyes over the look
of happiness that was in them.
The minutes licked by. Out

west the sun was setting in a
glory OF gold and scarlet. Its

She lay down on her pillows,
and incredibly, she fell asleep at
once.
When she Weakened her room
was agloW with pale December
sunlight. The handle of the door
turned, and her mother opened
it just a crack, and peeped in.

Mary Rose said. and raised her.

word from the hospital?'.
Mrs. Middleton came up.
She was carrying a little tray
In her hands, and she came and
set it down on the bed.

she told the girl. They're going
