A ($TX ENCAMPING.
Tim earthquake which had oc-
carred at 8.23, Wednesday morn-
ing, had a dis:•atrous offeot,although
it was not so severe as to injure
materialiy the buildings already art
shattered. It nip;.ed hope and
growing confidence in the bud.
Multitudes had left the square for
their homes, a large portion with
the immediate purpose of obtaining
raore clothing. Many would have
been comparatively naked were it
'Lot for enveloping blankets, and
the loan of articles of apparel from
,,the more fortunate. With the con-
fidence which the meriting and the
continued quiet of the earth ivapir
ad, there bad been a general move
from the square. Some hastily
dressed tbemseives, snatched up
bedding and food, sand returned to
the open square immediately, others
breakfasted at borne, and some had
the heart.to begin the task of put-
ting their houses in order. The
shock drove them forth again with
all their fears renewed and increas-
ed; for the homes, which may have
been a refuge for generations, were
now looked upon as death-traps,
'" -°- Threatening to mangle. and torture
as well as destroy. Tho love of
gain, the instinct to preserve pro-

the question in all hearts, "What

. dread suggestion.
The fear among the educated had
become definite and rational. Not
that they could explain the earth
quake or its causes, but the sad ex•
s)eriences of other regions n'cle
known to them. These experiences,
however, had varied so greatly in

of Ella and Mara wdo.,ore este by
co:rrpaiison! They had been tauglkt
in the salmi of adversity. From
childhood they bad been taught to
think of others first rather than
theoiselvee. Miss Ainsley would
have been reaplendant and at ease
in a royal drawing -room, these two
girls maintained womanly fortitude
and gave themselves up to unseI•
flab devotion, in the presence of a
mysterious power which would lev-
el an empetor's palace as readily as
a negro's cabin.
Clancy saw the difference—no
one more clearly—and bis very soul
recoiled from the woman he had
purposed to marry. He patiently

superstitious negroes, t'o whom
scienceexplained nothing. To their
excited minds the awful phenomena
was due directly co the action of a
malignant personal devil, or of an
angry God. While many of the
poor ignorant creatures inevitably
indulged in what was justly termed
"religious orgies," the great majority
were well-behaved and patient, find-

able comfort and support.

Bodine was not astray in think-
ing that his note would relieve
Mara's mind. Sad and humiliated
as she was, his words had taken her
from a false position, and wotild
enable her to give Mm the filial
love and homage with which her
heart overflowed. Even if Clancy
escaped from his entanglement,

that both should pay the penalty of
their errors in long pronation.
As the afternoon• wore away Mrs
Willoughby and Mrs Bodine took
some- much needed rest. Clancy
went down town to look after his
own affairs. Mr Houghton bad a
consultation with his confidential
man of business, at which George
was present. Then the young fellow

know when her father could active,
she gave away to4:all kinds of fear
and the deepest dejection. She in-
sisted that Clancy should remain
with her, with embarassirg pestis•
tinacity. Even to others it was
apparent,th it her fears rather than
her affection led to her desire for
his presence so earnestly. He had
once wondered what kind of a wo•
man was masked by ber culture
and reserve, so perfect that it
seemed frankness. The veneer now
was stripped away. After her o •vn
fashion she was almost as abject in
her terror as I'Incl t Strobl', who

father easy chairs. hugs wore
spread on the grass, and the rude
shelter became positively inviting.
Ella and Mrs Willoughby made
themselves so useful that at last
Miss Ainsley so far recovered from
het panic as to assist. She detested
Mara, and Mrs Hunter's ghastly
face and white hair embodied to
her mind the terror of which all
were in dread. Tho bright sune
fI line and homely work were sugges-
tive of rural pleasures rather than
of dire necessity, and helped, for
the time, to retire the sp'eotre of
danger to the background. The
coining and going of many aegnvin-
tances and friends of our characters
also helped to gaily ber spirits, and
to incite her semblance of courage.

Mara, had staunch friends who had
