had actually happened. Bowie did
not slow the almost uncomfortable
horses until they had reached COW
er in the doubly dark alameda. Car
men parted from his embrace slow
ly: 1t seemed such natural place
to rest her head, and In her ear
close to his breast she had heard
his heartbeat.
Suddenly she remembered herself.
Darling, are you hurt? Tell me
quicki"
4 "No, vida mia, no. But your" he
whispered.
She laughed low and cautiously.
II am not. Thank God, we are
safe"
II think so, but we may be pur-
sued. / hope not. Now / will give
you more comfortable seat"
"What is that, Quito mio?" Car
men spoke from her own saddle
and her voice betrayed her acute
alarm.
Bowie noticed the low sharp rum
bling. But he was so alert to the
danger Of pursuit that he did not at
first comprehend.
He was not left long in doubt.
The rumbling grew instantly loud
er. The horses became unmanage-
able. They shook with terror. A
deafening roar burst on the ears.
Of sudden Carmen and Bowie
were rocked in their saddles-the
earth was heaving in terrifying
waves. "Temblor!" gasped Car
men. "Temblor!"
Bowie seized her bride. The feet
of the frantic horses sprawled, their
legs sank toward the ground. So
abrupt was the halt that Carmen
was pitched over her horses head
as he scrambled to keep his legs
under him.
The savage roar of the temblor
as it wrenched the earth was ear
splitting. Bowie leaped from his
horse to raise Carmen from the
ground, and he stood with her trem-
bling in his arms, trying to keep

his own feet while he supported the
half-conscious girl.
Nature tossed and heaved in an
agony Of convulsion. Towering trees
whirled in circles, whipped to the
ground, now PROSTATE, now upright,
or snapped like matches at the base.
And over the moaning and crash
ing of the troubled darkness there
spread faint ghastly light such
as never has been looked on save
at moments such as this. In a
fearful instant silent and peace
full landscape had been flung into
an inferno Of appalling destruction.
Shock followed shock as the mighty
temblor shook the earth in cata-
clysm and tore yawning CULTS across
its face, as if bent on making hor-

Bowie, breathing hard and COM
pletely unstrung, held Carmen's
head against him as she shook from
head to foot. praying low and be-
seechingly.
Bowie pulled himself somewhat
together. Surely the worst is over,
Carmelita," he exclaimed. Lets
look for the horses"
But the searsA. punctuated by re-
ceding quakes, was in vain.
There's nothing for it, Carmen, but
to 60 back to the mission for

"But Quito" said Carmen, fear

gone dry. ''Never' fear" he man

The rising moon began to shed
ghostly light over the desolate land
scape. The shock of the night Of
terrors keyed Carmen up to max

them. Their eyes were closely

The State Department is facing
the likelihood of having more OF
Its European Ambassadors in the
United States than at their posts.
With several diplomats already
here and others on their way home,
only four American Ambassadors re-
main in the harried capitals across
the Atlantic.
One of these-Joseph Kennedy in
London-is at the seat of govern
ment at war. Charges d'affaires-
lesser diplomats without the full
standing of an AmbaSsador-are
handling American interests in
Germany and France.
Others Remaining Abroad.
Other Ambassadors remaining at
their listening posts" in Europe are
Alexander w. Weddell in Spain and
John Van A. MacMurray in Turkey.
Laurence A. Steinhardt is making
his way back to Moscow.
The United States still has Minis
tiers in several of the smaller coun-
tries, mostly in Southeast Europe and
the Near East.
1t is assumed that William
Phillips, now at home on leave, will
return to Rome, but for many
another diplomat there seemed to
be no place left in the draStically
re-ordered Europe of today.
Mr.. Phillips landed in New York
Saturday from the Excalibur, along
with Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, jr.,
who had lodged bombs to make his
way out of beleaguered Poland and
George A. Gordon, who had been
Minister to the Netherlands when
the Lowlands were invaded.
John Cudahy, Ambassador to
Belgium, has left London for home
under orders from President Roose-
welt. He is to report on an inter-
view on supplying food to the Bel
gianS-an interview for which the
State Department reprimanded him.
Mr.. Cudahy, Mr.. Biddle and Mr.
Gordon can no longer function in
the countries to which they were
accredited, although Mr.. Biddle for
some time has been attached to the
Polish government in exile.
Mrs. Hartman Coming Home.
Among others on their way home
or preparing to come are Mrs
Florence J. Hartman, Minister to
Norway, who has been in Sweden
since Germany invaded Norway;
John c. Wiley. Minister to Estonia
and Latvia, which have been alb
sorbed by Soviet Russia, and Owen

William G. Bullitt, Ambassador to

other German occupied country, re-
turned home some time ago and
