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.

When they reached Mrs Hunter's home, Bodine groaned inwardly, "How the polar girl mita have suf- fered!"

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- ing in their simple faith unspeak- able comfort and support. One fact, however, wasclear to all, that the place of immediate and greatest danger was near or benenth anything which might he prostrated by the recurring shocke.

He is very resolute, and in a mat- ter of this kind you could not move him a hair's-breadth. Please do just what he asks now, and let time make future duty clearer." 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, which she mud!) a'oubtecipnhe felt 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 busied himself in perfecting the camp appointments and securing hors provisions. Kern Watson and his family, Ann' Sheba and her husband, with Ole Tobe and a few friends and neighbors. knelt around t he remains of little Z flet as Mr Birdsall offered a prayer.

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.
