she was bring tip to 'em—but dere's
nuff woman in my honey lamb to
make a tousan lib dis yere limpsey
slimpsey one."
Clancy clenched his hands in
mental distress as he listened to the
hard sense and unerring judgment
of the sagacious old woman.
"I'm in terrible perplexity," he
said, "for there is so much truth in
your words. How can I escape the
consequences of my own acts ?
Think how Miss Ainsley stood by
mo in my unconsciousness. When
1 revived--"
"Dar now Masse Clancy,you'se

Clancy was so ptufoundly raged
by what he had heard that lie turn-
ed away to hide his emotion. After
a moment he said, "You have been
true an' faithful, Aun Sheba. You
.won't be sorry. Please do as I
have asked," and he hastened
away.
"Reckon 1 ptlt-a spoke in dat
hon'ble business," Ann Sheba soli-
loquized. "Like 'nuff I put anoder
in, don' cotch me helpin' 'along any
sich foolishnes. I gibs no premise
an I'so gwine ter make my honey
lamb happy spite herself." Then
she took one of her grandchildren
and soothed it to sleep.
The slow hours dragged wearily
on; the majority of the white •peo-
ple quieted down to patient yet
fearful waiting; crying children one
after another dropped off to sleep;
parents and friends watched over -
them and one another, conversing
in low tones, or praying silently for
divine mercy, never before felt to
be so essential. The negroes were
more demonstrative, and their loud
prayers and singing of hymns con-
tinued without abatement or Lin-
drance. The expressions of some
were so wild and gross as to grate
harshly on alt natures possessing
any refinement, but when such men
as lir Biiiisall exhorted or prayed,
there were but few among the
whites who did not listen reverent -
]y, and in their hearts acknowledge
the substantial truth of the ,words
spoken, and their need of the peti-
tions offered.
Clancy went back to his {watch,
and there wore few inen in the city
more troubled and perplexed than
he, for he had not yet the calmness
resulting from a.detinito purpose, as
was true of Bodine.
Grim and silent the two men re•
mained at their posts of duty, await-
ing the day, or what might happen
before dawn. George lay dove» be-
side his father, and soon slept from
fatigue, while Mr IIoughton, now
so softened and chastened, vowed to
make hire happy.
Ella watched her. father in deep
solicitude, feeling vaguely that his
trouble was not caused wholly by
the general reasons for distress. At
last she stole to his side and laid her
Bead tip his shoulder. The act
comforted and sustained him more
than she knew at the time, for he
was not a demonstrative man. Ile
only kisses} hot tenderly, and bade
her return to her gousin,with whom
she kept up a whispered and frag-
mentary conversation, Mrs Wil-
loughby sat beside her husband, her
lead pillowed against his breast as
they waited for the day.
,,
A. breeze ,sprang lipoid titefresb-
!less of the morning was in it.
Would the sun over ►i. again ?
Was not nature so out of, int that
nothing g ' fn
mllifor
familiar could be I ked
bo
any more ? Tho terrors of the long
night inspired morbid thoughts,
{which come too readily in darkness.
At the appointed time, however,
there wee a glow in the east which
steadily deepened in color. truly,
to the weary, haggard, shivering,
half-clad watchere the sten was an
angel, of light that morning, and
never did fire -worshippers greet his
Om With a deeper feeling of grati-
tilde: and gladness.
There was a general stir in the
strange bivouac; an incrt ased mur-
mur of voice. The hymns of the
negroes gradually ceased and people,
singly or in groups, began to leave
the square for their homes, in order
to clothe themselves more fully,and
to discover what was left to them in
the general wreck.
There had been no shook since
the convulsion at half -past two
o'clock, and there was a general
confidence that the worst was ever.
Hope grew stronger with the bless-
ed light, and fear vanished with the
darkness.
Mr Houghton touched his son,
who immediately awokeand was
bent on deeds of hospitality.
"Father," he said, "our house is
near. Cannot 1, with the aid of
Jube and S inn, got out friends some
breakfast 1"
"Yes, George, and extend the in•
g.itation from too."
"Oh, father., I'm so grateful that
you are giving me this ch incl to—
te--='
"Ton sbalhhivo all the chance
you wish. In fact I'm rather in-'
clined to see what I can do m;self.
I may need a good deal of nursing,"
and the old man's face was lighted
up with a kindly smile, which made
his son positively hippy.
Approaching Bodine he asked,
"Do you think it will be safe for
the invalids to leave the squarer'
"I scarcely think so," was the re-
ply. "A t least, not until more
time ptsses without disturbance.
Frons. what I've read of other and
like instances, our hooses may be
unsafe for days to come,"
"Well, the first thing
to be done
is to sae that you all have some cot
fee and breakfast. Fot•tunately,out'
house is not far, awl, although our
woman servants have fled, I bt.vo
two inen who will stand by Inc.
1'ha fact is, my hunting expeditions
have made me a fairly good cook
myself.' My father cordially ex-
tends the invitation that all my
friends here breakfast with us."
"I will join in your labors,
Houghton,' said Clancy, promptly.
"Having no home, I gratefully ac-
cept your father's invitation."
"We're all shipwrecked a on des-
ert island," said Mrs Bodine cheer-
ily, to George. "You appear to be
one of the friend!y natives, and I
put myself under your protec-
tion,"
"Our"r
custom is 1 r
here," replied the
, P
young fellow in the like vein, "that
after we have taken salt together,
wo become fast friends."
"Bring on the salt then," she an-
swered, laughing, while Ella'a smile
seemed to the young fellow more
vivifying than tha first level rays of
the sun. Mara, Dlrs hunter and
Miss Ainsley were still sleeping,
and also Dr Devoe.
"Houghton," called Mr \Vii•
loughby, "won't you enroll me as
ono of your cooks or waiters?"
"No," replied- George. "I Must
leave you and Captain Bodine in
charge of camp."
"Two many cooks spile de brof,"
said Aun' Sheba, rising from Mara's
side, where she had been watching
for the last hour. "Marse Hough-
ton, you berry fine cook fer de
woods I spec,but I reckon I kin gib
a lis extra tich to do breakfas'."
"Ah ! Auu' Sheba, if you'll come,
you shallbe chief cook, and I, for
one, promise to obey. Mrs Wil-
loughby,I'tn so very glad that I can
now return a little of your kind-
ness."
"I take back what I said about
absolving you,'' she whispered.
"You'd better. If I don't make
the most of my chance now, my
name is not George Houghton. ' Of
course I sba'n't say anything' while
the troubles last.- You understand,
I don't wish anything to happen
which would embarrass her,or make
it bard to accept what I can do for
her and hers, but when the right
time corn es, ''--mgd--11'2'-7rolfYrieal" `latTi'li=-
cantly:
"You are on the tight tack as
you boatmen say," she whispered
laughing.
"See, here, Houghton," remarked
jolly Mr Willoughby, "earthquakes
and secret conferences with my wife
tire more than a fellow cul stand at
one and the same time."
"You shall soon have consolation,"
said George, hastening awav,follow-
od by Clancy, Aun' Sheba,Jubo and
Sam, When the last•natned worthy
appeared near Mr 1 [oughton's barn,
the horses Whinnied, and the two
dogs barked joyously,
"Mr Clancy,' stid George, haul
in; him a pookot-book, " since you
have kindly offered to aid, please
take Jube and visit the nearest
butcher shop fnd bakery. 1•suggest
that you lay it a largo supply, for
we don't know what may happen.
1'leass get egg',, canned delicacies,
anything yon think best. Don't
spare money, ifelp yourself if own-
ers aro absent. I will honor all
your I (1 IT's,"
"All right, ifougllton, but re•
member that I'm an active partner
this catering business, L'ot•tan-
atel y,1 dont need to go to the bank
for money.•'
Aun' Sheba exclaimed over the
evidences of disaster along the'
street, but when she saw what; a
wreck, Mr Houghton's massive
portico had become she lifted her
hands in dismay.
"That don't trouble me," said
lloorge, "since I'm not under it.
I passed beneath a second or two
ltc•fore it fell.;
"Pe I,tawd be praised! . Ors

"It looks that way, ,lysin $te'�a.
Here, Sala, make the kitchen
fire before you de anything else,
Now we must ento.tnage and see
wbaot we can find;" -
Aun Sheba took possession of
the kitchen, and with broom, mop
arid clotbs,'saoil brought order .out
of -chaos. Sam'fotu d,that although
the chimney had lost its top, it for-
tunately drew and the fire is the
range was soon all that could be de=
sired. George ravaged the store
closet until Aun Sheba said, "Nuff
heah already ter feed de squat."
Then be went up and looked
about the pony wrecked home,
meanwhile setting Sam to dusting
chairs and carrying them to the
squat 0. ' Then a table, crockery,
knives, forks, spoons, napkins, &o.,
were dispatched.
Clancy and Jube found that
the proprietors of some of the shops
were plucking up courage to enter
them and resume trade, and so they
eventually returned well laden with
provisions. Then Jube was sent
with wash basins, water and towels
for ablutions; George and Clancy
meanwhile taking a hasty bath and
exchanging their ruineJ clothing
for clean apparel."
"Houghton, you are a god -seed
to us all," exclaimed his friend.
"I suppose the whole affair is a
God -send," was the reply. "I'm
getting my satisfaction out of it
this morning."
As sprightly Mrs Willoughby
saw the appliances for their comfort
following one after another, she
said to Ella, "we may as well make-
believe that this is a picnic."
Ela smiled and replied—I'm bet-
ter dressed for breakfast than you,
fur 1
we on a wrapper, and you
aro in low necked evening cos-
tume."
„
"l'teel as if I could eat a break-
fast all the sante. What creatures
these mortals be! A little while
ago I was in the depths of misery,
and titw I'm hungry and kind of
happy',"
"Oh, you are," said her husband'
"when you may have to take in
washing for a living, while I shovel
brick and•mortar."
"No indeed," cried his wife, "I'll
join the firm of Wallingford and
Bodine, and you can help Atm'
Sheba peddle cakes,"
"That's right, children," said Alta
Bodine, "that's the true, bravo
Wertheim spit it. We are all born
soldiers, seamen rather, since the
land Las been as freakish as the sea.
Now mind, I will send the first one
below who shows the white feather."
Mr Ifoughton lay apart from
this
group, ami, white he felt his
3
isolation,knew that lie was to blame
for it. They also felt the awkward•
Hess of their situation, not knowing
'
Low far he was willing _ or shin to
converse with them.
Mr Willoughby was about to
break the ice, when .Ella forestalled
him. "Mr Houghton, " she said,
timidly approaching, " is there any-
thing wo can do for you? We are
-all so grateful."
"Yes, Miss Bodine. Forget and
forgive."
"Thep seems very little now to
forgive, and we do not 'wish to for-
get your kindness."
"Good Lor !"'whispered Mrs 13o -
dine to Mrs Willoughby,"I couldn't
have turned a neater sentence my-
self."
"Well, Miss Bodine," resnmed
Mr Houghton, "I suppose we shall
have to let bygones be bygones.
Now that sunshine and brightness
have come we should not recall any-
thing painful. I trust that the
worst is over, but our conrage m.ay
be yet sorely trial. I will esteem
it at very groat favor if you and
your friends will accept without re-
luctance whatever my son can do
for your comfort," -
Ella could not repress a little
laugh of pleasure as she replied, "it
is too late now to affeceany reluc-
tance.
tance. We owo him so much that
we. might as well owe him more,"
-Then, ever practical, she arranged_a
screen to shade his face from the
sun's rays.
MriWilloughby now came up and
spoke in a friendly way of the pro-
bable effects of the disaster upon
the city, and so the touch of mutual
kindness began to make them kin.
Mrs Hunter commenced to moan
t and toss, and this awakened Miss
Ainsley, who looked around won-
Ijeringly. Mrs Willougby in low
tones •recalled what had happened,
and explained the present aspect of
affairs. Mrs Bodine performed the
same office for Mara, who also had
been aroused by the voices near.
The girl's habit of self-control served
her in good stead, and she imme-
diately rose, gave her hand to Bo-
dine in greeting, andthen knelt be-
side her aunt. Seeing Marti so near;
Miss Ainsloy quickly rose also, and
moved away in instinctive anti-
pathy. ,.
Mrs Hunter was feverish, and
evidently very ill. Sho,vv'as unable
to comprehend what was" taking
place, but re:loagized Mara; whose
soothing words and touch only had
quiet power ,l to 1 net 11> .

ed "I wish I could (lo as much for

"I darn rou to do it,' said Mrs
'iodine with a mirthful gleam in
her eyes,
Ella caught her spirit, and with•
out hesitation, although blushing
liko a rose, went to Mr Houghton
and asked, "Will you please lot me

"Well, Miss Bodine, I ava learn•

shall have your own way. Yes,
you are a good nurse, and a bravo
and patient one. You kindness to
that poo: creature who died in your
arms touched my heart."
"And mine too, Mr Houghton.
She told me a very pitiful story."
"You shall tent to me sometime
my dear."
' fier heart thrilled as he gently
spoke these words, while George,
striding up with a great platter. of
steak, ahnost dropped it as he saw
the girl waiting on his father as if
filial relations wore already estab-
lished. The old man enjoyed his
look of pleased wonder, and when
he had a chance whispered.—"I'm
gutting ahead of you, my boy. I
don't want your or Jube's clumsy
hands around me any more." Mrs
Bodine put her head under the
blanket and shook with. silent
laughter.
Ella was very shy of the young
man, however. He could not catch
her eye, nor get a chance to speak
to her expect in the presence of her
father, Mrs Bodine, or some one
else. But he posses,ed his soul in
patience, and did his best to be a
genial host. Clancy,Jube and Sam
followed with the coffee and various
comestibles. Miss Ainsley was a
little effusive in her greeting of the
man whom she had deserted in the
street,and again had left to pass the
night as he o,uld, while she sought
oblivion, His response was grave,
kind, yet not altogether reassuring.

arm, and gallantly placed ]ler bo -

Bodine assumed a measure of cheer-
fulness during breakfast. When
newsboys came galloping up with
tho morning paper, Mr Willoughby
rose and waved his hat, joining in
a general hurrah which rose from
-till parts of the square. Eery orae
instantly ret•ognizo.i the heroism dis-
played 'in gathering news and print-
ing a journal during the past night.

confidence than the appearance .of

' "Old Charleston is alive yet,"
cried Mr Willoughby ; "and if the
rest of us have half the pluck shown
. in that printing•housa,we'll soon re-
store everything,"
"Give ale a paper," said Mrs
Bodine. "I'd rather have it than
my breakfast,"
"Yon shall have both," replied
Ella, bringing a littlo tray to her
side:
'('A.h, Cousin Hugh !--xou veterans
never did anything braver. Own

" I do. Most sincerely and
heartily."
Clancy read the journal aloud,and
the coffee grew cold as all listened
breathlessly to a chapter in the city's
history never to be forgotten.
11Ir Houghton was so absorbed
that he suddenly became conscious
that Ella was beside him. with the
daintiest of breakfasts. "You are
spoiling me for any other nurse," he
said.
"It is a relief at such a time to
care for those who are ill and
feeble," she replied, gently. "If
we have to stay here I hope you
will let me wait on you, but I trust
we can all soon go to our homes."
"I have my doubts. • Now give
me the pleasure of seeing you slake
a good meal." '
"Mr Clancy," cried Mrs Wil-
loughby, "in the general chaos wo-
man may obtain their just pre-emi-
nence; I shall take the lead by or-
dering you to lay down that paper,
so that yon and others may have
a hot breakfast."
!Vara could be induced to take
nothing beyond a cup of coffee. In
spite of the sunshine and the gener-
al reaction into bopeftilness and
courage, she felt that black chaos
was coming into her life.
Iler aunt and natural protector
was very ill. After the events of
the night she shrank from her
former relations to Bodine inexpres•
sibly. Indeed, it seemed impos-
sible to continue them. Yet she
asked herself again and again,
"What else is there for mei" Ifo
was very kind, but the expression
of his face was inscrutable,Mote•
over, there was Miss Ainsley acting
as if Clancy were her own natiral
property, and he unable to dispute
her claims. it appeared to her
that poor stricken burs hunter
was iter only refuge, and she re-
solved to remain close by her

went out to smelts his pipe,
$reakfaat was. at last over at the
square, and Mr Willoughby rose
and said to his wife, "I will go to'
the house and get more suitable
costumes for you and Carrie.
Houghton will ,loan you a dressing -
room at his house, for the streets
can be scarcely suitable for you to
traverse yet. I'll bring a carriage
for you, however,as sone as possible.
Serious danger is now over,I hope."
He had scarcely uttered the
words, when, us if in mockery, in
the south-east was heard again the
sound which appalled the stoutest
hearts. On it came,as if a lightning
express train was thundering down
upon them. They saw the tops of
distant trees nod and sway as if
agitated by a gale, men, women and
children rushing again, with loud
cries, from their homes, thou it
seemed as if some subterranean
monster was tearing its way tbroush
the earth. The moment the paralysis
of terror passed Miss Ainsley threw
herself shrieking upon Clancy, .whq•
was comlilled to support and soothe
her. Mara covered her face with
her bands, trembled • violently, but
uttered no sound. Ella co lid not
repress a cry, as she hid her face
upon her father's breast; a cry echo-
ed by Mrs 'Willoughby, as she and
her husband clung together. George
knelt,holding the hand of his father,
who looked at his son with the feel-
ing that if the end had come his boy
should be the last object on which
his eye- rested. Mrs Bodine was
as composed as the veteran himself,
and simply looked heavenward.
There, was something "o terrific in
the immeasurable trowel' of the con-
vulsion,
on-
V al tlsuggestive -
ul o so of immediate
and awful death, that few indeed
could maintain any degree of forti-
tude.
There was one, however, a few
rods awav,who scarcely noticed the
shock. Kern Watson, at hist re-
leased from' duty, sat on the ground
with Lis free buried in the neck of
his dead child. He did not raise
his head, and trembled only its the
qu'veting earth agitated his form.
