"Still, I must Ipavo nothing undone to
bight. I want tho years bright for you,
nnd I must try once more. After nil, the
mother of my beloved can do no wrong."
"People might bo safe away up there
on tho Morne d'Orange," sho said, fear
fully, "but you must pass to and fro
through tho city!"
-Gently he turned her fnco from the hid
den city. "Look yonder Into the splendid
night!" he whispered. "Feel the sting
of the spray. Hear the bows sing! It's
nil for us, Lara, the gilded track to the
moon, the loveliest of earth's distances
nnd the sky afterward! We can't leave
this grent thing undone. Listen, dearest ;
when tho dawn comes up the Madame
will be lying seven or eight miles off
shore. I'll tnke the launch Into the har
bor, and climb the morne once more to the
big plantation house, bringing your love
nnd mine to the mother-bird whom I
owe for all things good. If she will not
come with me, I shall command Uncle
Joey to take her to Fort de France.
After that "
She was clinging to him and sobbing.
"After that?" she repeated.
"Wo steam for Fort tie Franco then,"
he said, "and Father Damien must spare
us an ..hour from his labors. After that,
beloved, you and I and the honeymoon
out on tho swinging seas !"
Just now Denny Macready appeared on
the bridge.
"Lara, I want you to know this Den
ny," said Constable. "I found him in n
stoke-hold, and haven't been able to get
rid of him since. He's my steward at
sea, my butler ashore, and Tours solid'
anywhere. Denny, I'm going ashore at
dawn "
" 'Tis crool t hear, sorr."
"That point is pretty well covered, ben
ny. I want you that is, I'm leaving
Mss Stansbury in your hands."
"Sh-sh wait till I putt on me gloves."
"How are your charges faring, Denny?"
Constable asked.
"Is ut th little wans, you mane?"
"Yes, the natives."
"If I on'y had some goats, sorr!"
"Why goats?"
"Sure, I've been potherin' with lime
wather an sea wather an' wather straight
an' sugar av milk whin goats could do
ut all, an' betther."
Macready went- below, leaving a laugh
on the bridge which was no little thing.
The Madame crept in to the edge of the
smoke. The gray ghost of morning was
stealing into the hateful haze. The ship
found anchorage. The launch was in
readiness below. It was six in the morn
ing. Pugb, the new third officer, was
just leaving the bridge. Constable and
Lara were standing at the door of his
cabin. '
"I know that you could do no greater
thing than this for me," she told him;
"but when a woman comes into her own
es I have it is terrible to be left alone
bo' soon. There are warnings in the wind,
menaces in the silence, dangers in every
thing. It cannot bo that I have found
you, my lover, only to lose you again. Oh,
come back to me quickly, dear!"
"Three hours shall see us on our way
to Fort de France," he answered blithely.
"Trust me to hurry back to you. Pelee
is still now. It may be that the pressure
is eased "
"There, kiss me, and don't wait! The
very name of Pelee Is horrible!" She
moved with him to the ladder. "I thought
I would be braver than this, Pierre Va
lour !"
He whispered a last word and descend
ed. Ernst had been relieved, and another
sailor was in tho launch, one for whom
preparations had been made in the dim
hall. Constable was happy. He waved a
kiss at the pale, mute face leaning over
Bide, and the fog rushed in between.
CIIAPTEIt XIV.
The launch -gained the inner harbor,
and the white ships at anchor were seen
vague phantoms in the vapor French
steamers, Italian barques, and the small
er West Indian craft all with their work
to do and their way to win. Constable
beard one officer shout to another, in
quiring if Saint Pierre was fn the usual
place, or bad switched sites with Hades.
The day was clearing rapidly, however,
and before the launch reached shore the
haze was so lifted that Pelee could be
seen, floating a pennant of black out to
sea. In the city a large frame ware
house was ablaze. The tinder-dry struc
ture was being destroyed with almost ex
plosive speed.
"Wait for roe here," Constable said to
the sailor, as the launch 'scraped the
Sugar Landing.
A blistering heat rushed down from the
expiring building to the edge of the land.
Crowds watched the destruction. Many
of the people were in holiday attire. This
was the Day of Ascension, and Saint
Pierre would shortly pray and praise at
the cathedral. Even now the bells were
calling, and there was low laughter from
a group of maidens. Was it not good to
live, since the sun shone again and the
mountain did not answer the sainted
belia? It was true that Pelee poured
forth a black streamer with lightning In
Its folds; true that the people trod upon
tho hot gray dust of the volcano's waste ;
that the heat was such as no man had
ever felt before and many sat in misery
upon the ground ; true, Indeed that voices
of hysteria came from the hovels, and the
breath of uncovered death from the by
waysbut the gala spirit was not dead.
The bells were calling; the mountain
was still; bright dresses were abroad
for the torrid children of France must
augb.
Constable fell In with tho procession
on the way to the cathedral. Reaching
there, he climbed to n huge block of stone
In the square, and hurled broadcast the
germ of flight. Many bad seen him be
fore, when his face was haggard, no
was smiling now. Tbero was color In his
kin, fire Jn his eyes, a ring In his voice.
Fear was not in him.
A carriage was not procurable, so be
Wtivd toward the Morne d'Orange. It
was seven-thirty, nnd tho distance was
two miles to the plantation house. At
eight, o'r soon afterward, ho would bo
mere eight on tho morning of Ascension
Day; nt nine, In tho launch again, speed
ing out to the smllo of tho bride!
Twenty times a minute she recurred to
him as ho walked. There was no waning
uor wearing save a wearing brighter,
perhaps of the lmnces sho had nut In
his mind. The night had' brought him
pniaces ana gardens nnd treasure houses:
everywhere he turned, new riches broke
upon him. That her face had lain be
tween his hands; that his hands had
brought that face to his own; that her
whispers, kisses, confidences, her prayers
and passions nnd coming years, all found
their center nnd origin in himself, like
bright doves that had n coto within his
heart these thoughts lifted tho poor man
to such heights of pralso and blessedness
that he seemed to shatter the dome of hu
man limitations, and emerge crown nnd
shoulders into the iilimitnblo ether.
The road up the morne stretched blind
ing white before him. Panting and spent
not a little, he strode upward through
the vicious pressure of heat, holding his
helmet free from. his head, that the nlr
might circulate under the rim. At length,
upon the crest of the morne, he perceived
the gables of the plantation house, nbove
the palms and mangoes, gold-brown in the
dazzling haze.
Pelee roared. Sullen and dreadful out
of the silence voiced the monster, roused
to his labor afresh. The American began
to run, glancing back at the darkening
north. The crisis was not
paused in favor of peace. Tho holiday
was darkened. The Madame would fill
with refugees now, nnd the road to Fort
de France turn black with flight. These
were his thoughts as he ran.
The lights of the day burned out one
by one. The crust of the earth stretched
to a cracking tension. The air was beet
ling with strange concussions. In the
clutch of realization, he turned one shin
ing look toward the sea. Detonations ac
cumulated into the crash of a thousand
navies.
On the porch of the plantation house,
twenty yards away,, stood the mother of
Lara, her eyes fascinated, lost in the
north. At the steps he fell, caught her
skirt, her waist, in his hands. Across the
lawn, through the roaring black, he bora
her, brushing her fingers and her fallen
hair from his face. He reached the curb
ing of the old well with his burden,, crawl
ed over, and grasped the rusty chain. It
candescent tongues lapped the cistern's
raised coping, and running streams of red
dust filtered down.
It was eight in the morning of Ascen
sion Day. La Montagne Pelee was giv
ing birth to Death.
CHAPTER XV.
When the launch entered the dpnser
cloud and faded from her slsbr, Miss
Stansbury retired to the cabin. Over all
her thoughts of the unhallowed parting
from her mother the night before, and the
clean, valorous act of her lover now, hung
the defined terror lest Pelee should inter
vene. She heard Macready'a step at the
door; the calm voice of an officer on the
bridge; the morning bells.
The pale winding sheet was unwrappud
from the beauty of morning. Thrju:;h a
port-hole Bhe saw the rose and gold on
the far, dim hills. Her eyes smarted from
weariness, but her mind, liko an auto
matic thing, swept arcmnd the great cir
cle from the ship to the city, to the
house beyond the morne and back again.
She saw him in the launch, In the midst
of native groups xn the shore, in the
plantation house, begging her mother to
listen. Importuning Uncle Joey to take
her to Fort de France, returning through
the streets with people following the
crowded launch, and then the joy of emp
ty arms filled. But sometimes Pelee
would burst into the deepening channel of
thoughts, effacing the' whole, and leaving
her, a shrieking, dishevelled creature, In
tha midst of a chaos which would not an
swer. She went on deck. Laird, the first
officer, Invited her to ascend the bridge.
He was scrutinzing through the glass a
blotch of smoke on the city front. "What
do you make of It, Miss Stansbury?" he
asked.
The lenses brought to her a nucleus of
red in the black bank. The rest of Saint
Pierre was a gray doll settlement, set In
the shelter of little gray hills. She
could see the riven and castellated crest
of Pelee, weaving his black ribbon. It
was all small, silent and unearthly.
"That's a fire on the shore," sho said.
"Exactly," said Laird.
Shortly afterward the trumpetlngs of
the monster began. The harbor grew
yellowish-black. The shore -crawled deep
er Into the shroud, and was lost alto
gether. The water took on a foul look,
as if the bed of the sea were churned with
some beastly passion. Tho anchor chain
drew taut, mysteriously strained, and
banged a tattoo against the steel-bound
eye. Blue Peter, drooping at the fore
mast, livened suddenly into n spasm of
writhing, like a hooked lizard. The black,
quivering columns of smoke from the fun
nels were fanned down upon tho deck,
adding soot to tho white smear from tho
volcano. Lara felt Macready pulling at
her arm.
"l'o musht go below, miss. Ye know
me ordbers."
. She rebelled with sudden vehemence,
declaring that bIio would smother down
there.
"You can do no good here, sure. Don t
make It crool fur me?"
"Make haste below, miss squall com
ing 1" commanded Laird. Gentleness and
jollity were gono from the largo red face.
She suffered herself to bo drawn- down
the ladder, crushed by the officer's words,
and the Iron fingers of fear closing about
her heart. A hot, fetid breath charged
the air. Tho water danced, nllve with the
yeost of worlds, The disordered sky in
toned violence. Pelee bad set the foun
dations to trembling.
Lara drifted Into the open polar region,
Despair. These jaen were all bl friends.
Sho must not hinder them. They had much
to uo. Her part wns self-effacement In
tho dnrkcnlng passageway sho heard
Lnird shouting orders nbove, heard him
command tho native women to "tumblo be
low," nnd tho sailors to seal tho ways
nftcr them, henrd tho deep sen lnngungo
and "barometer" "Constnblo"
There wcro running feet, bells
below, cries from tho nntlvo "women, quick
oaths from tho sailors. Tho ship rose and
settled llko n feather in n breeze.
Sho wns incapublo of swift notion
Macready lifted her Into the cabin nnd
slnmmcd tho door, rushed to tho ports nnd
screwed them tight with lightning fingers,
led her to n chnlr and locked It In Its
socket.
"That's the deere." ho said breathless
ly. "Shud so much ns n shpnrk from tho
mountain rnlso so much ns n bloosh upon
your cheek, suro I'd nlver bo nblo f face
Mr. Constnblo ngaln, but go on sthokln
foriver an Ivor."
"It's very good of you," bIio answered
dully.
She sat very still, not daring to relax
tho rigid tension of her fnce, her hands,
or her brnln, lest tho scream of madness
break forth. From out tho shoreward
darkness thundered vtbrntlons which ren
dered soundless nil that had passed be
fore. Comets flashed by the port holes.
Tho ship shuddered nnd fell to her star
board side.
Eight bells hnd just sounded when the
grent thunder rocked over tho gray-black
harbor, nnd the molten vitnls of the mon
ster, wrapped In n blnck cloud, filled the
heavens, gathered themselves, and plunged
down upon the city nnd tho sea. As for
the de Stacl, eight miles from shore nml
twelve miles from the craters, she seemed
to have fallen from a hnbltahlo planet
Into the flrc-mlst of nn unfinished world.
She heeled" over like a biscuit tin, dipping
her bridge nnd gunwnlcs. She wns del
uged by blasts of steam and molten stone.
Her anchor chain gave way, and, burn
ing in a half-dozen places, sho was sucked
iu-shore.

FLO'S PHOTOGRAPHS..

"Don't you think Kent Hampton's
Inst photograph Is n splendid one?" Flo
Davol naked, carelessly.
A swift color flnshetl across Rnchcl
Hill's fnce. Sho tried to make her
voice Indifferent, but tho hurt would
show n little.
"I lmveu't seen It," Bhe replied.
"Hnven't seen It?" Flo echoed, "now
queer, when you are Buch friends! I
have It somewhere here "
She began hunting through the pho-
tocrnnhs crowding her desk. They
were nearly all photographs of boys or
youne men. nnd Kent's wns elenriy m
sight, ns Rachel, with n flash of con
tempt, saw nt once, although it wns
several minutes before Flo npparently
discovered It Then she handed It to
Rachel. Her whole elaborate, over
dressed little figure betrayed her de
light In her pretty triumph.
"It certainly Is queer thnt he didn't
give you one," she repeated, "but the
boys are nlwajis giving things to nie.
Renllr, I don't know what to do with
half of them!"
As Rachel walked homo through the
September' afternoon her eyes were full
of bitterness. Why wns It, she wonder
ed, that girls like Flo got so much more
than their share of good times nnd
things? She would not have cared
about the others, but Kent Hnmpton,
who had been her playmate ever since
she could remember, nnd was going
away to college In two days. Oh, Flo
could have had anything else If sho
only hnd not spoiled thnt dear ok'
friendship.
That evening Kent came over with
his chum who wns nlso Rnchel's
cousin Tom Cnlvcrly. Usually the
three hnd the hupplest of evenings, but
this time something wns plainly wrong.
The boys kept up their nonsense, but
It did not "go" ns usual. Finally 'row
remarked of -something:
"It's dend easy ns easy ns ono of
Flo Davol's photographs eh, Kent?"
Rachel crew red. then pnle. "l

cried, facing them Indignantly,
The boys stared nt each other In per
plexity.

It's contemptible!"
Kent's lips tightened, but Tom whis
tled softly. ,
"Look here, Ray," ho naked, "don't
you know, honest?"
"Know -what?" Rnchel inquired.
"The way she getB those pictures.
She cets them by asking that's how.
She nsks so thnt n fellow can't refuse

Dairy Idol.
Cows becomes favorites with their
owners not altogether by renson of tho
milk they produce. We have known
cows thnt their owners thought n great
deal of because of tho kindly disposi
tion of tho nninmls. Ono cow that tho
writer remembers gave but a fow
quarts of milk n day, but she was a pet
of tho family. She would prefer the
company of members of the family
rather thnn that of other cows, it tno
cows wero being taken to pasture sho
would Insist on walking by the side of
the ono In charge of tho herd. It Is
hard to order a cow of this kind sent to
tho butcher, nnd many ncoplo will not
do It; Instead, tho animals nro kept
for a dozen yenrs, nnd not only allowed
tn nf llti flirt nrrtt-rmilor without rC
turning a compensation for It, but nro
alowed to ndd to tho herd more cows
nftor their own ability not to produce
milk. These may fairly 1k, called dnlry
Idols. Their owners claim grent things
for them without being able to substnn-
Mate tho truth of what they say.
But the fnml v net s not tlio only
brand of dairy Idol. There are tho gen
eral purpose cows that quite generally
have the entire confidence of their own
ers as to their great value. They nro
idols that the single-purpose cow men
hnve demolished again nnd again, to
their own satisfaction, but they are still
to be found nil over tho hind.
The dalrv Idol is a thine that enn be
dlsiKHised with to tho advantage of
tho owners of the cows. Tho wnrfnro
ngnlnst them will bo kept up, and little
by little tho factors wo are warring
against will disappear. It may, how
ever, take about as lona to cllmlnnto
them ns It took Christianity to drive the
idols out of the pagan world. 1 armors

IUk in Drenched Cottle.
Doctor David Roberts,, State Veteri
narian of Wisconsin, gives this advice:
Perhaps tho best way of demonstrating
tho dnnger of drenching cnttlo Is to ad
vise the reader to throw back bis head
as far as possible and attempt to swnl-
low. This you will find to bo a diffi
cult task, and you will Hnd It moro
difficult nr.d almost Impossible to swal
low with the mouth open. It Is for
this reason that drenching cnttlo Is a
dangerous practice. However, if a cow's
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by tho drenching
bottle or horn, n portion of tho liquid
Is very apt to pnss down tho windpipe
Into the lungs, sometimes causing In
stant death by smothering, nt other
times causing denth to follow In n few
days from congestion or lnflnmmntlon
of tho lungs. Give nil cattle their
medicine hypodermically or In feed. If
they refuse fowl give It dry on the
tongue. The proper method of giving a
cow medicine Is to stand on tho right
sido of tho cow, placing the left nrm
around the nose nnd nt the snmo time
opening her mouth, nnd with n spoon in
tno right hand place tho medicine,
which should be In a powdered form,
back on the tongue ; she can then swal
low with snfety.

may also be fed. Give no green stuffs,
