IHE VESDV1AN TERROR. Vivid Description of Grrat Erup tion Which Rirtls 2jm pcii' Destruction. The Famous Italian Novelist, Marion Crawford, TelU o( tho Terrors of the Big Volcano History of For mer Eruption. Tbe whole world looked on. awe struck, at the rocnt nerve outbreak of stupendous and devastating force In the Bay of Naples. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius Is believed to be the most destructive since the days of IVm peil. A. D.. 79. Ths whole story of the eruption of 1906 Is a sorrowful tale of stricken vic tims, devastated vineyards, ruined hcJtaes and terror-stricken, filing peo ple. and It is hard to realite that the same w-cnes have boen enacted there so many times before. Pliny, tbe noted ancient historian, described the eruption of Vesuvius In the year "79. in a series of letters to Tacitus. This letter described a dark cloud rising In a single pillar from the crater of the mountain and from this a column spread, and upon it rested a great roof, built by Invisible carpen ters. Resting ever on Its single pillar, like a great mushroom, this roof shut out the sky from all those wide acres extending sixteen miles away. The light ashes of the fire from Vesuvius descended like snow upon Potnpeil. burying it to great depths. Hercu laneum was drowned In a sea of vol canic mud. Those who have read the letters of Pliny And similarity in the description written by the noted novelist. Marlon Crawford. There Is probably no other American living who Is so well ac quainted with conditions as they exist in Italy. He has taken up his per manent abode in the Italian hills. The VESUVIUS I.N life, customs and mannerisms of the Italian have been pictured by him In stories which have made him famous. In bs cabled description to the New York Times Crawford stated that the recent eruption of Vesuvius had been grumbling for many weeks before the outbreak which did the Incalculable damage. Smoke Two-Miles High. "An enormous volume of black smoke rises to a height of two miles above the crater," he wrote. "Incandescent masses of stone are thrown up 3,000 feet. A continuous southeasterly wind carries the ashes over Naples, which is so completely enveloped in darkness that for three days our communications by sea have been cut off. "Fissures have opened far below the cone, emiting many Etreame of lava, one of which has completely destroyed the town of Boscotrecaee, which had 10,000 inhabitants. Another las reached the outskirts of Torre ck-1 Greco. Others have destroyed thousands of acres of . fertile cultivated land, with farmhouses and Btock. "The great cone of Vesuvius col lapsed with awful thundering and flames, and the cable railway, the ob servatory and the large hotel near It were all totally destroyed. The lava carried vast masses of burnt stone and 6ulphur on Its surface like dross on melted lead, and nothing was visible toward EoBcotrecase but endless acres of dark scoriae, broken here and there by the greenieh curling smoke of sul phur. I "At one point we found a great pine ! tree, torn up by its roots and turned to black charcoal; the air was almost unbreathable; the heat intense. Tne faces of the people who crowded upon the edge of the arrested Htream ex pressed terror of exhaustion from re cent panic. Feeble Attempts of Man Useless. "When the 6tream of fire threatened Boscotrecase 6oldiers dug a wide ditch across its patch in the hope of divert ing its course, but the molten stream advanced like a colossal serpent of fire, turning its head to the right and left as a snake does, but keeping it3 general direction toward the fated town. It was not till it reached the first house, sending up great showers of sparks, that the people finally fled for their lives. "I saw men, women and children, and infants whose mothers carried them at the breast or in their aprons. Dogs, too, and cat6 were on the carts, and sometimes even chickens, tied togeth er by the legs, and piles of mattresses and pillows, all white with dust under the lurid glare. We ourselves could hardly breathe." This dispatch corresponds exactly in detail to Pliny's letters. The same flaming mountain and shaking earth, the same stifling smoke and ashes, the same terrifying darkness and the Baroe helpless, distracted crowd stretching vain hands to their gods for succor. Originally Vesuvius was in the form of a single cone. Later eruptions have broken down the southern side of the original crater, leaving the northern seml-olrcle, which Is called Monte Somma, A smaller central cone had grown op within the ancient ruin. Ir is this inner cone that bad its top blown off. Before the recent eruption the height cf the mountain t?hs about 4,000 feet. Hit w1 V In prehistoric days Vesuvius was probably t M as high, the top having been blown off centuries before ths eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Sines the year ltol Vesuvius has never been wholly at rest In that year 1S.000 lives were lost. Tbe clouds of steam that came frooLthe rush of water into the hot mass below the surface condensed and fetl in a boiling rain that scorched everything with which It came In con tact. The very sea drew back the skirts of its dark blue robe and then srpt forward again far beyond Ut o!d limits. The last of the great convulsions be fore the recent one occurred In 1ST. Then, like this one, there was a great lava flow, together with throwing up of burning rock and the fall of ashes upon the surrounding country. Vesuvius Is one of a group of similar mountains In the Mediterranean Sea. Its comrades being .Ktna, Strom boll and Vuttano, which Inst gave the name to all mountains of this kind. That, In turn, was called after Vulcan, the god who made the armor for the fighting deities of the ancient world aud forged the very thunderbolts of Jove himself. His workshop was under Mount .tna. There the inhabitants of the hillsides heard him shaping great masses of iron with his terrible hammer stroke while the nameless slaves of the forge, dimly imagined creatures of that old day, blew the gigantic bellows and held great bars In place, while the master worked. The Greeks with even their learning, did not Inquire Into the scien tific reasons for the mighty utterings of the mountain; they knew what the awful roar of those volcanic mountains meant. And our wise men. with their figures and books, know little of what is going c in the fiery caverns under the earth's thin ctust. Nature soon heals her scars. Al ready, we are told In dispatches, spots of green hare appeared on the black ened sides of Mount Pelee. and It will not be very long before the olive and the Tine and the clustering Tillages will find their way back again to the slopes ol Vesuvius. - ERUPTION. TO RENEW OLD MISSION. San Juan Caplstrano Will Uve Again After Long Years of Silence. All who have heard of the picturesque old Franciscan Missions of California will be interested to learn that San Juan Capistrano, the most poetic of all these ruined structures, which contrib ute so much to the foreign look of "our Italy," is soon again to be made the centre of religious activity, and that after nearly a century of neglect its buildings are to be restored to their original estate. This mission Is on the railway line between Los Angeles and San Diego, and by reason of being visible from the railroad is to Eastern travelers per haps the best known of all California missions, except Santa Barbara and San Gabriel, which are among the regulation eights for visitors to South ern California. With the restoration of San Juan Capistrano and the re sumption of residence there by the Franciscan Brotherhood, it, too, will no doubt soon become a tourist resort The Urn year of the American In dependence saw work begun upon this ancient edifice in what was then a vast wilderness, inhabited only by Indians. The site is in a lovely, sequestered val THE QUADRANGLE ley, which, beginning back in the can yons of the coast range, winds among grassy knolls and great treeless hills out to the Pacific, upon which It opens, three miles west of the mission. With the aid of the Indians, over whom the padres exerted both temporal and spir itual dominion, the Franciscans estab lished here the most pretentious of all the California mission churches. In stead of being constructed of the cus tomary adobe brick of the country, it was built of stone, laid out in the form of a Latin cross, with a great, cloistered quadrangle adjoining. Here, besides administering to the spiritual welfare of tbe Indians and gathering them into the fold of the church, the fathers set them to the care and the cultivation of the land, which yielded great wealth cf cattle, sheen, gialu. Kiaues and olives. i'' w ' " ' Destroy J by aa Earthquake On the morning of December 8. ISIS, all without warning, came a great catas trophe. While the church was crowded with kneeling worshipers a, shock, of earthquake visited the valley and top pled the great stone tower over upou the roof, crashing through which It buried the congregation beneath the wreckage of bans. tiles and stones, and upward of forty human beings lest th ir Uvea in the twlukling of an eye. This earthquake ranks in sever ity with that of Charleston. In ISStJ. So great was the disaster that, although the mission contluued to be conducted -' III 3Nj THE OU) WKIL IN THE COURTYARD. for twontr-tttn rein lsinira nx at. tempt seems to have been made by the padres to restore the church edifice, and It and Its adjoining buildings and cloisters have remained to this day an imposing and beautiful ruin. Touched gently by Time s hand, dignified in out line and rich In color. It Is replete with subjects for the artist and is the ad miration of every traveler. With the restoration of the buildings the In tention Is to create here a college for the priesthood as at Santa liar bar a, and to make of San Juan Capistrano an important factor in the work of the Itomau Catholic Church In Southern California. THE LOVE OFAIARIC. Beneath the out flung branches of a mighty oak tree, a giant who had stood sentinel In that lonely dip on tne woius ior twice three hundred years, two men were standing, their figures nude more or. less distinct by the rays of a .Mg.'contcal lantern of antique, pattern that tho elder of the two carried in his gnarled and blood less fingers, a figure strangely 'akin to the giant tree beneath which he stood. An aged man was Zachary Dcy. bis back bent by years of hard labor such as few of the modern generation of la borers know; a man who had been an experienced farmhand, while the man beside him, his master, was still a puling Infant The old fellow set down lis lantern on the iron-bound earth. Ills quaver ing voice stabbed the silence. "Now. do 'ee harken unto me, Master Alaric." he said slowly. "I've served 'ee faith ful, you and your feyther afore 'ee, for nigh on fifty year, and I tell 'ee master, that what 'ee do purpose for to do Is again all right and reason. This yere oak tree the Klngscote Oak, as all the country-side do know her for to be ha' bin here as a land mark and a pride for longer than us poor bouIs can reckon. To cut her down do mean, as I be right well as sured, that Klngscote luck will fall wi 'un. If so he " Alaric Klngscote broko In upon his garrulity with a forced laugh. "If Klngscote luck could fall lower than it has, Zachary," he said bitterly, "you need have little fear that I would touch bark with axe. Now, hear me, old friend. This tree represents the last thing upon the farm that, can bring in the money I must have to tide over the bad times in store. The merchants have offered me two hun dred pounds for the tree. There's only one rotten limb upon it. They'll come tomorrow with their carts and take it away." He laid his hand upon the old man's shoulder. "Get you home to bed, Zachary," he added gent ly. "You can do nothing here. I ts 9 o'clock now. By midnight, with OF THE MISSION luck, the Klngscote Oak will be down." The old fellow looked wistfully in to the handsome face of his young master. "Master Alarlc," he eald hoarsely. "I've fifty-five 'pun, three shlllln and fl'pence 'apenny laid away in a hole In the floor o'my cottage. If ho be as that'll fsave th: Klngscote Oak, why "Go home with you Zachary," Broke In the young man roughly, though his roughness hid an emotion almost too deep for any words "Go home, and Cod bless you, old friend." Zachary thrust his roughened hand across his eyes. Without another word, a strangely pathetic, bowed old figure, he turned and sbantsied off across the field toward the sMle Into the lane that led to the little thatched cottage that had been tils home for so many years, lie never once looked back, fur a few seconds Alarlc King cote stood looking after hlru, then, with a strangely tierce irwtturo, the young fellow flung off hta rough tweed coat, removed the Cardigan waistcoat that covered the breadth of his chest, and turned up. the sleeves of his coarse flannel shirt. At tho foot of the onlc lay the wood man e huge axe that was to be the Itt trum"U of death, that was to cut short tho growth of centuries. Alarlc Klngscoto swung the great weapon aloft, and the cold starlight ran kwg the shining steel. Like some Viking warrior of old like the re-rtnbodltnent of ono of his Saxon forebears. Alario brought down the tool of destruction with a blow that gashed deep Into the corrugated skin of the oak. The doom of the Klngscote Oak had been proclaimed. As he stood braced up for the second stroke, the bulging sinews of his fore arm responding to tho generous rise of chest and thUh muscles, a curious !onn1 from behind him caused him to twins round with a faint cry. Then he lowered the axe with auiaxlng gen tleness. Another figure had appeared upon the sceno the figure of a woman, clad in a cloak of fur that hid the coutour of her form. "Dumarls.' Tho word fell from tho young man's lips like a caress. II. "So you've come,- ho said softly. "You see I am aa good as my word. The Klngscote Oak must go. It Is the last link between mo and the work housefor it almost comes to that." It was evident that the relationship between these two was something more blndlug that the ordinary ties existent between casual acquatutauccs of opposite sex. Kach seemed to ac cept the situation as Inevitable. Then tho girl went on. hurriedly: "You'll catch cold. Alarlc. dear, if you stand still without your coat In this bitter cold. Let mo hold the lantern :or you while you work." She snatched up the light. He, obedient to her Injunction, applied his weapon with renewed vigor. The lamplight threw a warm glow over his weather-tanned face and muscular arms. For a tlmo ho labored on. his wholo' being concentrated on the performance! of his herculean task. After a space he iwused to rest. A great wound on the mighty bole of the oak showed how sure had been his strenuous endeavors. When he ceased she broke l.ito tiiiitrf tir-isri -4..i e'v "It seems incredible." she murmur ed, "that you. a Klngscote. of tho same race, the same blood as ourselves, should be forced to toll like this like a common laborer," The man camo quickly forward, and iluug his arm around her waist. Their Hps met In u kiss that could not be mistaken for a mero cousinly snlutlon. "DamarU Klngscote," he Bnld, steadily enough, "let us be frank one with the other. What are the facts? I am tho poor relation the blot on the family 'scutcheon of the squire, vour father. He resents my proximity; loathes the very Idea of our hrvc; therefore he has brought his batteries to bear upon me and mine. All that he could do to ruin me ho has done, and heaven knows that ho had been successful enough. Tho girl's eyes brimmed over with tears. Alarlc was quick to note her ready sympathy and. he gripped his axe anew, the sllenco vibrating once more with tho ringing cadence of his rhythmic blows. Presently he rested once araln. "Damarls," he said, "did you ever hear the legend that runs in our branch of the family, that but for some strange whim of chauco 1 should have been In the squire's place today, the ruler of the destiny of Klngscoto Glebe Farm? From father to son the tradition has been handed down that Nigel Klngscote, the cavalier, Juggled In some unknown way with the laws of succession that It wns not tho son of the eldest son who was your own fa ther's ancestor, but mine: that could the truth only be known aright I should be reigning ut Kingscoto Manor In stead of being what I ara-a pauper,, fated to cut down the family tree to raise a pitiful sum of money that must bo procured. Damarls stood speechless and Alarlc once more resumed his heavy taBk. Finally, after long and weary toil, the end came. With a cry to the girl, Alaric flung down his axo and leaped backward. His hand sought hers. Side by side drawn apart from the tottering giant, they stood as though spellbound, the only spectators of the end of so many hundred years of silent, strenuous majesty, And even as the mighty tree went shuddering to its tremendous fall, n crack as of a pistol shot, foreshadow ed its overthrow. The noise came from the one rotten bough that the tree had possessed a IniRe limb some half-way up Its stem, which now ne tachlng first from it parent crashed down at tho very feet or the wonder tr.tr con ole. Nor was that all. A metallic tinkle accompanied the crash. Damarls was the first to recognize the solution of the nuzzle, It was a metal canister a long, time-stained box of rusted tin, closed at both ends a thing of mystery, of untold possibilities. She picked It up, and as she did so one end ren away. Tho canister contained nothing but i stained yellow piece of parenment, anon which something was written in a close and crabbed caligraphy, archaic, hard to decipher, Alarlc swung the lantern up from ihn eround. "What is it, Damarls?" he asked hreathleeslv. Slowly, laboriously, the girl read out the following amazing declaration "Mayhap a day will come when that which I, Nigel Klngscote, do boi down here In writing, m tne year oi uraco 1647, and do hide in the hole of the Kinescote Oak. may be sete out in the cleare light of day. And even as Esau of old did sell his birthright, bo do I, Nigel Klngscote, head of the bouse of Klngscote. renounce my right and the right of those who come after me to be the true and lawful pdSSeBB ors of the falre lands of Klngscote Manor. "Yet not voluntarily doe I this, but for the life of him, my son. Know, thpn that I muBt flee the country Cromwell, the regicide, hath dcreed w i hnii die. Therefore, have I IUUV - . given my Infant son to my younger onnncr James, nu bring up my son as his ow n.

"And that this be true, aud that Nigel, supposed younger son of James Klngscote, of Klngscote Mauor. be really the eldest son of Nigel Klngs cote, eldest son of Alario Klngscote. father of Nigel and James and there fore h'lr to' the Manor of Klngscote.

Coherent speech, he could not find. Tho girl ralK.M her head. "It Is tnt. It U true!" sho said brokenly. "Wo, father aud I. are the usurpers! Klngscote Manor la yours, and we are paupers!" "Not paupers, dearest, but partners," answered Alnrlc, and In his eyes there was that which told her how Klngscote love stood wind and weather as steudtly as Klngscoto Oak. Squire Klngscote now sleeps with his fathers In the little llerkshlre churchyard. Hut ere he died his do cllulng years were brightened by the generous forgiveness of "tho undesir able poor relation."
