The word- painting is vivid arul inspiring, the inci dents powerful and exciting, the characters strongly delineated. W ill L evingto M C omfort , the author, is well known for his superior literary talent, and in the present instance he has selected a theme admitting of intense de lineation. No story of recent years has covered a theme more interesting than that of the eruption of Mont Pelcc. The serial has al the coloring and charm of the beautiful surroundings of Saint Pierre, and there are touches of perfection in the descriptions of scenery and incidents. Peter Constable and Hayden Breen, young Americans, v sit Saint Pierre juit before the I’elee volcano scattered death and destruct on over the ill-fated island. The hero of the story, Constable, save» the life of the beautiful Lara Stans bury at the time of the eruption, and the scenes on that occasion are thrillingly descril»ed. A | through the store are incident* "f the molt fasc in ating character. They include a touching love romance of Hayden and the g rl to whom he is devoted, and the horror and fate that reigned at the moment when the island was engulfed in doom and disaster. This brilliant and mas terly narrative of the crash at Martiuique—with a man and woman standing clear against the Fequence of events — rivals "The Last l>ajs of Pompeii” in pictorial and dra matic power. The story should have a very cordial recep tion, it will interest.all readers, young and old, and may be classed among the very best terials of its class that have been written in recent years. ¥— Í . ■ .1 « «V «• » >* . !

"I want you to go, of course. What la the airopiest way to manage thia?“ “How Boon do you aall?** Constable went to the speaking tube and called Captain Negley. A moment later he turned to Breen with the in formation that the Madame was just ready to clear, and would be put off as quietly and quickly as poMible.

It was plain that Brera was badly wanted, and equally plain to Constable that be was running Into the danger of entang- ling hlmself In the meshes of the law. but he waa stoutly disinclined to give op an admirable companion for the voyage The pro«r««s of clearing went on quick ly. The Ma«tame's prow was tnrned out Into the harbor, and the signal given to free the aft cable. At this point the Insistent stranger raise«I hia voice and struggled with the dock man to prevent him from slipping the rope.
