S.MlWIIlliDs O.N TOAST. The Latest Dnlnty Served Up to Tickle the Kplenre'n Palate. From Oit Chicago Tribun.. 1 Hunting snowbirds on South Stato streot and tho avenues is a more piontitblo employ ment than hunting ducks in tho Indiana uiavhhus. Hut fowsjiertons oro familiar with this fact, but it is true nevertheless. Tho palate of tho opianro must bo tickled in some v.ny; duck and roedbirds aro too common, but tho snowbird, it would appear, fills tho toug.felt want. There aro millions of thorn on tho South Side, and thoy aro being shot and trapped at ovory opportunity. Tho small boy does considerable towards supplying tho flints of proprietors of robtaurantB, but tho business has so suddenly developed that grown men have turned snowbird.hunters, mid with reasonable good luck can nmko from l iM.GO to 8'2.60 per day. The birds aro wholo. B.ilud at CO conts per dozen, and four of them go to mnko a meal, which costs tho purchaser 59 conts. Tho restaurant man, It will bo seen, has a profit of $1 on an investment of CO cents. So it is apparent that there is money in tho business for every ono dirootly interested. In a restaurant window on Stato streot tho sign, Snowbirds on Toast," was scon yos terday. Tho proprietor was asked if thero V09 much of u demand for such gamo. Ho said thero was at present, as there always is at this season of tho year. Tho birds ore plump as can bo, juicy and whole, some, but that a workiugmun would oat a hundred of them at a meal without having his appetite appeased. "Dudes and well. fixed rounders aro the only porsons who make a breakfast on snow birds. Thoy havo been out the night before on a bit of a lark, and result is that their innards aro sensitive. Thoy could not masti cato a ohop or steak, but can readily pick tho tender flesh of a snowbird to pioces and feel satisfied. I bollovo it was a man from across tho water, as ho callod it, first asked for on ordor of snawbuds on toast, He didn't got them, and loft with but a poor opinion of Chicago restaurants ond customs." The birds food on the grain that falls from cars and vehicles. Tho hunters oro in tho immediate vioinity ond eithor kill the birds with guns or trap thorn. They go in flocks of hundreds, and a shot firod into thoir ranks brings down ot least n dozen. Thehuntor has n bag at his side and into it aro tumbled fthe victims. Tho supply is enormous; and as long as tho demand is kept up so long will tho South Sido hunters continno to make a good living. Thero aro not half a dozen in the field at prebent, but whon tho snow comes down for keeps tho ranks will bo considerably augmented. That a man can mako a good day's wagos at tho business is ovidont.

Heath Traim In Florida that Hwrallo Un. anspoctlnar Traveller In a Twinkling. (Von Jbl.lo JJIJ. A few days ago tho Blade had on account of tho dropping of tho ground over a sink holo at South Lakowclr, Fla., carrying down the kitchen ottachod to tho rosidenoo of Oscar Shogroin and taking with It his daughtor and on old colored woman. Hhnoks woto heard os thoy wore hurlod down tho holo, but soon all was silent, and a lino let down into tho holo 200 feot failod to roach tho bottom. An engineer of this city who recently ro turned from Florida, and who had road tho artiole in tho li'adt referred to, told a repro sontatlvo of this papor that tho sink holos in Florida are tho most treachorous and dangor ous thing imaginable. Thoy aro from 20 to 1,000 foot in circumforonce, and have tho ao peuruuee, to one not schooled in tho surface of tho country, of being porfootly sofo to walk on. The natives are cautions and un dorstand pretty woll how to avoid thoso death-traps, yet whito men somotimes, and negroes frequently, loso thoir lives by en doavoring to cross them. At tlmos several colored mon will go on a hunting expedition for alligators, and it is no groot Mirpnso when one or two of thoir num. her aro missing on their roturn, having mot death in dreadful sink holos. A woll-known Now York goutlemon named Webb went to Florida last spring with his cousin, an Englishman, to hunt. Thoy had a colored man as guide When thoy reached tho hunting ground, tho guide told tho Eng. lish gentleman not to bo too hasty or attempt to go in nihanco of him, as he might fall into a sink holo, but ho did not hcod tho warning in his anxiety to find gamo, ond kept in od vanco of tho guide. After proceeding for somo diBtanco tho Englishman was seen to drop his gun and grasp Wildly about him, but ho quickly dis appeared. Mr. Wobb and his guide went as near as possiblo to where tho hunter had gouo down, and to their dismay thero was a largo holo in the ground, and looking down thoy saw ot a Uistouce murky, bubbling water, in which tho huntor was struggling among a great number of horriblo, writhing snakes. Tho water kept gradually receding, and as tho huntor was last seen passing down tho drop, dark abyss, his face was turned heavenward, and a largo repulsivo-looking roptilo was drawing its long, slimy longth over his face, which had assumed a ghastly oppcaranco, Tho Toledo onginocr and other mon woro summoned to recover tho body of tho Eng. lishmau. Thoy hurried to the spot with ropes, itc, and sot to work, but oil thoir of. forts were unavailing. A rope on whioh was a sinker was let into tho holo. Down, down it went into the dark gloomy holo, but no bottom was reached. Everything in it was silont. Man and snakes had gone forovor into the unfathomable dopths. Mr, Webb throw his gun into a lako near by, and said ho would novor hunt again. In somo of -tho holes the water reaches nearly to tho surfaoo of tho ground, while others are covered over with a thin layer of sod or marsh grass. In tho North there would be no hesitanoy in crossing such look, ing places, but in Florida death lurks in tho thin covering ovor tho holes. FiSHEKMEN'S RACK, It vt-IU Probably he Postponed Till Earl 7 In tho Spring-. From tho Jiotton atobo.) It sooms to bo tho general opinion among tho leading yachtsmen that it would bo in advisable to get up a fishermen's race this season. Tho original proposition was for a race about Christmas timo, but the chango from a warm oifico to tho dock of a fishing sohooner in what might bo tho coldest weather of winter does not hold out on allur ing prospect. Thero is general intorest In a fishermen's race, and undoubtedly a good ono could bo gotten up, but it would probably be advisable to wait till spring. By tho new law tho vessels cannot soino mackerel till the middle of Juno,, ond n race could bo or raiigod for tho lust week in May which would not lio open to tho objection of extreme cold weather. If the prizes were largo enough, entries would probably bo received from Gloucester and Portland, as woll as from Boston boats. Tho thrco leading ri ids in tho Boston fleet aro tho Sylvester Whelan, John H. McManus and the now Burgess boat CarrioE. Phillips. Tho Wholan is two foot longer on tho water line than tho Phillips, whilo tho McManus is eleven feet shorter. Tho flshermon would liko to havo tho boats measured according to tho Eastorn Yacht Club rule, and allowonco computed by that club's timo scale. Thero is plenty of timo to got up tho race and ar rougo tho conditions, and the contest would be a very interesting one. The Bay of the Ilend In Mexico. From tho San FrnncUco CKronUU.

Many of our girls who were ut work upon tho manu. script of Dr. Fulton woro also Protestants. Thoy woro tho first to object. You boo, tho manuscript kept coming in by instalments.

From tX Xonttmv AdrertUtr.l Conductor 11. M. Pool, who runs o Louis vlllo and Nashvillo passenger trnln between Montgomery and Nashville, tells n thrilling story of n romorkoblo Inoidont that occurred 011 his train n few nlghte ago of how a young lady walked off tho train in her sleep tulil was afterward rescuod safe and sound. On tho night spoken of among tho passen gers who camo out of Nuahvillo on Conductor Pool's train woru un uldeily ladv and several children, ono ft daughtor of sevonteen or eighteen years of ago. Boon ofh r thoy got on tho train tho ladv complaided of being un well. Tho conductor fixed her up as com forlubln as possible and shu soon went to sleep. The young lady also went to sloop. They woro in tho regular passenger coach. The train stopped to take water afft tank about thirty tulles this side of Nashville, and the conductor went into tho sleeper to "oheek up "with the Blceping-car conductor. Tho train left tho tank and had run fivo or six miles when tho newsboy asked tho conductor if a lady did not get oil at tho tank. Tho conductor replied no; that ho had no passen gers for that place. Tho newsboy said he saw a lady get off tho train whilo it wan stoppod at tho tank that Bho was bareheaded niul had a water cup in her hand. These statements roused nn investigation and it was discovered that tho young ladv was missing. Tho conductor waked her mother and told her that tho young lady could not bo found. Tho lady was greatly shocked by tho startling intelligence and Hnia at once that her daugh ter lmd walked off tho train in her sleep. Nothing could bo done, however until tho train reached tho next station, about ton mile h from tho tank. Thero was telephonic connection between tho station and a mill at or near tho tank whero tho young lady had disappeared. Tho conductor telephoned tho men at tho mill and asked them if they hod seen or heard anything of tho missing young lady, They answered that the young lady was safo that after tho train left tliuy found her walking near tho railroad track. Sho was still asleep and did not wako until ono of tho mon caught hold of her. Tho distressed mother was put off at tho station and woitod until her daughter was brought to her on the next freight train. Tho young lady was not injured in tho lcabt. llUILDING A RAILROAD. It Dovkn't Iteqnlre Much Cnpltnl If One Knows the Wny la Cu at It. IFrom In. rMad.lphia Ntut. Talking on this subject of railroad build, ing by pcoplo who have no money, reminds me of tho expericnoo J. J. Burns had at it. Ho is now Prcsidont of tho Denver, Memphis and Atlantio Company, but tlireo years ago he was editing o littlo country weekly paper In Hollo Plaino, this Stato. Ho conceived the gigantic scheme of building a railroad from tho Atlantio Ocean to Dcnvor, Col. Now Mr. Burns probably didn't havo ovor $5 of surplus capital outside of his littlo print. ing oftico, worth probably $1,000. That littlo obstuclo didn't deter him long, however. Ho interested soverol mon In his scheme, who combined woro worth a fow thonsand dollars, and a preliminary survey was mado from Baxter Springs, in the south eastern portion of tho btate, to a point about two hundred miles west. Ho then personally started out with his horse and carriago and visited tho various oounties through which tho proposed road was to run. Ilq had an indomitable will, n smooth tonguo and an unequalled cheek, and ho succeeded, nfwr many trials and tribulations, in voting or having the peoplo of the difforont counties and townships tto vote almost a million dollars in bonds to his proposed railroad. He succeeded in doing this by assuring tho pooplo that ho was hacked by a syndicate of Eastern capitalists, which, of oourse, was not true. After tho boudB were voted almost a year und many of them were about to expire by limitation, ho finally succoadod In in teresting mo weaiiuy rauroua construction company of Fitzgorald fc Mollory. Thoy proceeded to build tho road and thoy havo now built a continuous lino almost from the eastern border of Kansas, through tho Stato aud about fifty miles beyond toward Denver, which point thoy hopo to reach this year. Sovorul months ago tho portion then completed wor turned over to Jay Gould, and is now operated asa portion of tho great Missouri Pucifio system, whilo Mr. Burns, on account of several miscalcu lations, did not mako as much out of tho deal us ho had hoped to und otherwise would havo. Ho is worth at least i?200,()00, and will not bo conipolled to resume tho publication of his country pupor for a living. The Ilo Uadscr Btory.

It was a meritorious aot to kill thoso mon, anyway. Why meritorious f Hould your tongue.man," shoutcdlossa. Don't bo talking. Evory Englishman going to Iroland to govern Irishmen for England doserves death, and until Irishmen kill thorn or frighten them out of Ireland it is nonsenso for thorn to bo talking of freeing Ireland. I don't take any stook in Paruollism or In any movement for Ireland's freedom which has not physical, manly force at tho root of it. As to tho dynamite boing storod in Lon don. I'll say nothing."

Thero are numbers ot women in New York known to possess jewels worth thousands of dollars, the cut, setting and appearance ot which are perfectly familiar to aoolety people, to thieves and to a great many peo ple who cannot be reckoned In either of those classes. These gems are a regular psrt of thi en tertainment guaranteed to the purchaser of sn opera tlckot, and the holder ot the same woejil feel that Implied contraot had been vlolatedBf their wearers stayed at home or neglected to spread a travelling show-window over their velvet corsages In the great gold casket of the auditor ium, with Ita horaeahoe onrvea of boxes full of the customary benoh show of prlio dames, damsels and beaux. And yet the gems not tho women are frequently absent when wo tnluk them there. 1 saw the fac simile of a pretty well-known dia mond necklace at a Jewelry counter a tew days ago. "All rhlmntones," I was told. "Thero Is a new method of cutting; and mounting them which bring out greater brilliancy and makes It possi ble to dispense with the solid filling at the lac, which used to distinguish the stones at once from real gems. These are nafer things to wear. They relieve the mind from anxiety shout losing or stealing, and so Indies are having duplicates of the oontents of their Jewel cases made up In mine atonea and tho genuine articles locked away from danger In safe deposit vaults.

That is tho sort of animal they havo in Madison Bqtiaro Gnfdon now. When a Wonm rcportor went In thoro yesterday afternoon ho heard n chorus like tho Wal kure. Tho fostlvo roosters wore In full cry. Somo of them had just been unpacked, and nfter tho inconveniences of n tedious railway journey, on which thoy took nothing with them but their combs, thoy rovollcd in tho luxury of a wired cage, sawdust and pro spective admiration. Tho preparations that wero going on so actively wero for the first annual exhibition of tho Now York Poultry Kichango, which began to-dny and will last until tho 21st of this mouth. Tho ntibociution is n duly incor porated stock company, thoBo objoct is to advanco tho intercuts of poultry and poultry men. It has n capital of 10,000, nnd wishes to havo a membership nmdo up from every State and Territory in tho Union. Madison Squtiro Garden has had 60 many kinds of shows in it that it can't toll whether it Is n menngerio or an opora-houso. Long tables aro covered with wire cages, in which tho fanciest of fowls exhibit thoir points. Tho entries nro numerous and varied. Hens, ducks, pigoous, swans, pot cats, pot dogs, turkovs, pheasants, owls, guinea pigs, rab bits, squirrels nnd tho liko will havo placo In tho week's show. Tho poultry iucludo Asiatic, American, Spanish, Hamburg, Polish, Dorkings, French, game, bantams and n miscellaneous class. Kacli gonus in this gallinaceous con gress embraces n dozen species. The roportor's curiosity wns nwnkoned by mention of somo Goldon-lacod Wyan dottos," thoy woro suoh a tony named fowl, but he did not strike anything in the Wyan dotto lino. A cage full of goldon pheasants was somo compensation, "That is a good sot," ho said, pointing to a family group of flvo onormous creatures.

He was a dandy. Five bronzed turkoys thrust their heads in an agitatod way out from their cagos as tho roportor passed by. Ono woighod only forty pounds. Ono of his "drumstioks" would supply a family of children with a good Thanksgiving dinner. Ono of tho turkeys was nt largo, calmly posing on a tablo for the benefit of a random artist. Thcro were several jail deliveries, and tho movements of n man who was trying to cor rnl an emancipated hen wero full of vicissi tudes. Theru was no difficulty in striking tho trail, because tho lien was only three yards off. But that was the distanco she liked to bo. Sho was a modest, virtuous hen, and made her frantlo follower keep his dis tance. Finally, through mistaken tactics, tho hen thrust nor loft log In tho man's right hand. He had tho key to tho combination. Thoro will bo a zino tank deep 'enough for tho aquatic beasts to swim around in without thoir legs dragging on the bottom. In this tank among other curiosities will bo black swans and Pekin duoks. Theso ducks are oreamy-whito creatures and look as if they woro fresh from u bath. There will bo sovoral curiosities. The Balm ay chickon is one hatched from an egg found in tho basket of tho murdered girl.

II., Dec. 14. Thcro is a young business mau horo to-night mourning the loss of Q200 and a promisod wife. Ho has a companion in misery mourning for tho somo pair of trumps in Burlington, Va. Neither over saw tho objoct of hlB affections and neither expect to bco his cash again. j Tho Milford man is a pleasant-faced man of f' about twcuty-slx yosrs, in buslnoss with rela- fives on Union streot, and moro than com. fortubly well off in this world's goods. Liz A snmplo copy of a small matrimonial sheet rM called tho Heart and Hand, fell into tho hands J of this susceptlbld Milford man four months Jjrj ago. Ho rend thoso "nds" sotting forth in plowing torms tho many prizes to bo drawn 3? by thoso matrimonially inclined. Ono in I particular struck him t V T ANTED Male correspondent t object, matrimony VV am 22, healthy, plump, chearful, called hand- norae. and would mako a lovlna; wife; American only, yV lily Montaomerr, letter-box New York City. fwas short, to tho point and as a busi- J18 i man ho admired it. br So did a retail clothier in Burlington. ell Both men enclosed their buslnoss cards as proof that thoy woro acting in tho best of faith, nnd photographs of tlio loving Lily v wero asked in return. M A gushing lottor w as roccivod by oach in a ho fow days, enclosed in which wero finely fin- rri ished photographs of a handsomo young j; lady. It has sinco been learned that tho one tho Milford man rcccivod wns ono of UlHo Akor. strom, tho actress. Tho Milford man and tho I Burlington coat-fitter were alike charmed with tho cardboard vision of graco, modesty and beauty, and opened at onco a livoly correspondouco with a viow to matrimony." ei Things went on swimmingly for a fow wooks. V, Tho IcttoTS woro filled with lovo and tho Fl cheerful Lily was soon tho promised wifo of B both. Then slowly sho began to put in hints of c her poverty of her being unablo to pi como to her darling for want of cash. w "It wounds my prldo to speak of it, V dear," sho wroto. but wo will hide nothing J from each other." 7. At last in tho cheery dnys of October, sho asked hor futuro husbands he of Burling- ton, Vt., and he of Milford, N. H., to send i hor a small check,' so that sho could bury hoi u head in his loving bosom. At once 8150 of a retail clothing profit was whirled down to H hor in her metropolitan homo, but Milford 1 b raised him $50, and $200 went to fit out his I brldo. v Not n word have they heard from hor since, v Ncithor has her head boon buriod on thoir f loving bosoms up to dato. 1 Tho Now Hampshire man waited a month f and then opened a correspondence with tho c managor of tho private letter bureau in New 1 York. He didn't get much consolation, but 1 ho succeeded in learning that ho had been i duped, but not alono. A letter of inqulr i about tho sanio fasoinating young lady had been received from tho Vermont man, and tho manager f orwardod it to let him knowhovr t ho had boon duped. Neither young man will again approach matrimony in this way. t HER RED LIFS TEMFTED HIM. An Uptown Young; Man's Audacious Condnot on Dowltnsr Green.

Just around the cornor the immlgrnntn mot a small delegation of friends, who from their dross and generally improved appear, ance seemed to have beon in America for somo time. Almost instantly tho immigrants and their welcoming friends fell to kissing ono anothor. Tho uptown young men were much interested. 1 hat's an uncommonly pretty girl," said ono of the young men, a London drnmatio author. "Look at that mouth 1 Talk about your pomegranates.

"Ill do it 1" f, Tho London young mih pushed his way into the crowd and seized tlio protty girl's hands and drew hor away from the clasp of a buxom immigrant.

THIS fWKD.) EVENINO, TWELFTH NIGHT. Deo, ltf, Mr. and Mra. W. J. Florenoe. Never beforo was my heart a prey to suoli anxiety. All the men bad gathered at tho windows to witness the terrifying spectacle without, Wo turned towards the centre of the room, and with a sad smile gazed on the softened light of the lamps that fell on tho table before us with tho sweetness of fading sunset. I recalled to mind the pleasant winter evonings when we used to bo all seated around tho same table. It was still the samo room, glowing with tho warmest affection. But while peace reigned within, I could hear behind mo the sullon roar of the unbridled river, evor rising higher and and higher. Louis," whispered, my brother Piorre, tho water Is only threo feet from the window; something must be done." I nudged his arm to keep hlm'silont. But the dangor could no longer be concealed. The cattlo wore dying in the stablos. Wo could hear their plaintive bellowing and bleaU Ing in the stalls, and the horses were utter, ing those frightened snorts one hears when there is danger at hand. "My God my God I" cried Aimeo, who Bprong from her seat, pressing her temples with her hands and shuddering as she spoke. All tho others now rose and we oould no longer provent them from rushing to tho windows. Thoro they stood, silent and motionless, in an agony of terror. A deeper twilight had fallen. A dim light hovered over the turbid expanse of water. Clouds of mist hung on the verge of tho horizon. All was enveloped in haze. It was tho closo of a frightful day, slowly sinking into a night of death. And not a human sound nothing save tho rumbling of tho spreading sea, the bellowing of the cattle and tne neighing of the horses. "My Godl my God!" exclaimed tho women in trembling aooonts, as if afraid to speak above a whisuor. Just then n terrible crash was heard. Tho maddened beasts outside had burst tho doors of the stables. They passed Gus on tho tawny billows, whirling and spinning around In tho angry currents. The sheep were tossed like withered leaves and sucked boncath tho whirling eddies. Tho cattle and horses struggled, plunged and then lost their footing. One largo gray horso especially made a gallant fight for life; he reared, plunged and snorted madly, but tho resistless waters onveloped him at last and closed over him in quiet triumph. Then wo uttered our first lamentations. Thoy could no longer be suppressed. Wo hod cause to lament indeed. With our hands stretched out towards those dear animals, swept away beforo our oyes, wo all gavo way to our pent-up griof in a burst of sobs and tears. Ah I this was ruin indoed; our harvest lost, our stock drowned, our fortune ohongod in a tow short hours. God was not iusti wo had not offended him, and yet ho hod tokon everything from us. Tho water was still rising.

Emerging from my stupor I Bhrugged my shoulders, saying i Monoy is nothing after all. Bo long as wo aro all saved, wo'havo no cause for regrot. Wo hove only to go to work again to regain what is lost." Yos, yos. You aro right, father," rcpliod Jacquos, nervously, and we aro in no dan ger. The walls are. strong. We will go out upon the roof." This was now tho only rofugo left. The water, which had climbed the stalrcaso step .by step, with quiet stealth, was now pouring in at tho door. Wo all rushed to tho garrot, urgod on by that need ono fools in tho hour of danger of keeping closo togcthor. Oyp iou had disappeared, I called him, and saw nim return from ono of the adjoining rooms, his face sadly overcast. Thon.whon I mentionod tho absenco of our two servants and expressed my intention to wait for them, ho looked at me strangely and whispered: "Dead I Tho corner of tho shod under their room has Just been swept awav." Tho poor girls must navo gone to get their little savings that thoy kept in their trunks. Ho told me that thoy had used a ladder for a bridge to gain on adjoining building. I told him to say not a word about it. A cold shud der thrilled through my frame. Death had entered the house. Luokily the roof was broad and not vory steep. Wo reached it by a skylight, near which stood a sort of platform. It was hero that our party now took ref ugo. Tho women seated themsolves upon it. Tho men began examining tho roof, oven the two lofty clnm noys at oithor end. I remained leaning on tho edgo of tho platform, eagerly scanning tho horizon.

Jacques and Cyprfeu were looking with sad faces out ou the rising watorB, while Qasnard, with clinched hands, paced tho roof as If Booking some clan of escapo. The silent, shivering womou sat at our feet, their faces hidden in their hands to shut out tho awful sight.

Voroniquo, with her face hidden in hor hands, did not movo. Aunt Agathe, pule and trembling, re peated a fervent prayor. The sceuo around us now was ono of sovereign grandeur. Night had fallen, but the heavens rotained all tho transparency of a clear summer evening. Tho moon had not yet risen, but the sky twinkled with countless stars, set in so pure a blue that tho air was filled with an ozuro light. The twilight still seemed to linger on tho verge of tho distant horizon, and the vast expanse of wator spread out bonoath this tranquil sky, shining with a ghastly phosphorescent brightness that lit up the tiny bubbles that pluyed on tho crest of each breaking wave Tho earth was no longor visible Tho ontiro plain was submorged. At times I forgot our danger. Ono evening at Marseilles I had thus beheld the sea, and I stood gazing at the sceuo filled with admira tion. Tho wator is rising, the water Is rising," repeated my brother, crunching his pipe stem between his teeth as boforo. The water was now within threo feet of tho roof, and was beginning to lose its tranquillity. Cur rents wero setting in. After the water hud reached a certaiu height wu wero no longer protected by tho rising ground that lay in front of tho village. In less than'au hour tho water grow threatening, turbid, dashing vio lently against tho houso, and whirling dis ioiutod timbers, broken casks and tufts of lerbago around and around in its boiling eddies. Jacques, maddened by tho sobbing of the woman, exclaimed Wo cauuot stay hero longer; something must bo dono. lather, I beg you let us try to do something." Yi's, yts," I muttered, let us try to do somnthing." But none of us know what. Gospard offered tn take Verouiquu on his back and swim with hor to some place of sufety. Pierre talked of a raft. That was folly. At lust Oy prion sulci i "If wo could only reach tho church." Tho church, with its Uttlo square belfry, still remained abovo tho water. Thoro wero seven houses between it and us. Ono houso whloh stood at tho edge of tho villago adjoined a higher building, which whs in turn con nected with a neighboring house. Perhaps we would bo ablo to roach tho presbytery by clambering along tho' roofs, and then we could easily outer tho ohnrch. Many poople had already taken rofugo thcro, for tho neighboring roofs worn vacant, and wo could hear the sound of voices in tho belfry. But how many dangers should wo overcome before reaching it I It is impossible." said Pierre Tho Rainboau houso is too high, wo should need laddors." I'll try it anyhow," answered Cyprion.

I lot him ro. Ho was right. Ho was now compelled to attempt tho imvossiblo. He had succeeded with the aid of an iron cranio hook, fastonod to tho chimney, in reaching the roof of a uuiphboriug houso, when his wifo, Aimeo, raiHing her head, saw that ho was no loueor with us. Whoro is ho?" Bho cried out, Ho shall not lcavo mo. Wo aro togother and we will dio together." When she saw him on the roof of tho houso she run aloiiK tho tiles towards him, still cliiiRinx fabt to hor babes. Cyprieu," she shrieked, wait for mo, I am Koinu with you j I will dio with you." Hho insisted. Leaning over the roof, ho entreated her to stay, promising thnt ho would bo back immediately, and thnt wo would all bo saved. Hut sho only shook her head, aud in a frenzied voice again cried I'm going with you." Ho was obliged to takn tho children from hor. Then hu helped her to clamber up to him. Wo could now see thorn picking their steps along tho edgo of tho roof. Tliey ad vanced slowly. Bho had takou tho children in her arms again, both of them crying piteously. At almost every step Cyprieu turned around to encourago her. Bring her to a place or safety and return nt once," I shouted. I could hoo him ao his hand, but tho ronr of the waters smothered hiR voice. Boon wo lost sight of them en. tiroly, Thoy had descended to another tool thnt was lower than the first. In about ilvo minutes thoy reappeared ou tho third house, tho roof of which muat hao been very steep, us they were dragging thum selves uloug it on their knees. A sudden fear boi.ed mo. I put my linndri to my lips and shouted with all my might Comu back, como back!" 1'ierro, Jucques, (raspard and all tho others cried out to them also to return. Our Miicos arrested them for au mutant, but they imme diately continued to advance. They had now reached tho angle of tho street in front of tho ltainbeau bonne, a tall building, the roof of which was at bust three font higher than thnt of uny of its neighbors. They hes itated for an iusuuit. Then Cyprlen climbed up a chimney pipe with tho agility of a cat, Aimeo. who was compelled to wnit for him, remained standing on the middle of the roof. Wo could plainly see her, iirciwlug her children to her bosom, hor dark form stand, ing out clearly In the dim light. It was then thnt our frightful misfortunes began. Tho ltainbeau house, which had been originally intended for a workshop, was vory unsubstantially built. Moreover, tho resist, less current that swept down tho open street was dashing ugainst its front. I imagined that I could boo it tremblo under thn osbuults of tho heaving waters, and in dumb silence I followed Cynrlen who was making his way across tho roof.

JM moon had risen a round, full moon, whoso yellow rays lit up tho vast waste around with tho vividness of a hugo lump. Not a single detail of tho catastrophe was lost to us. It was the ltainbeau houso that had just been swept away. Wo uttered a terrible cry on seeing Cyprieu disappear. When the crash took plnco wo could seo only a tremendous splash and a whirling vor-, tex whero tho debris of the roof went down. Then all was tranquil. Tho wntors resumed their lovol for an instant as tho ends of tho shattered limbers rose abovo tho surface. Thoro was n mass of tangled rafters and beams, disjointed, broken and in inextricnbln confusion. And in tho midst of this muss I fancied I sa a moving object, something making superhuman efforts to free itself. "Ho lives!" I cried. All I God be praised: ho lives I There, abovo thnt whito aheot of water, shining iu tho moonlight i" Wo laughed nervously. We clapped our hands with joy as if wo ourselves Lad been suv ed. Ho is climbing up said Pierro. Yes, yos, seo!" exclaimed Gospard; ho is trying to catch that beam on the loft. But our laughter ceused. Wo did not utter another word; our tongues woro paralyzed with horror. ,Wo had just realized tho terrlblo situation in which Cyprieu was placed. Iu the full of the houso his feet had got caught between two biams, and there ho hung, head downward, a few inched from the water uud utterly powerless to free him self. His agony must have been frightful. Aimeo was still standing ou the roof of tho adjoining house with her two children. Bho shook with a convulsive shudder. She was looking at her husband dying a few feot iwlou her, never once moving her eyes from tho uuforttiuatu man. Sho uttered a pierc ing veil that froze our In arts with horror. We cannot let him dio like that," said Jacques, half detracted. Como, wo must go to Ids rohcue." We might, perhaps, ho ablo to clambor along the bcauih," answered Pierre. Wo could then release him." They wero hurrying towards tho adjoining roof when tho second Iioiihu crumbled away. It was imK)ssib!o to reach him now. A cold shudder nhot through us. Wo grasped each other's hands mechanically, and stood terror btrieken without the power to take our eyes from tho frightful spectacle Cyprieu had at first tried to btiffen aud con. tract his limbs. With extraordinary strength ho thus managed to keep ubovo tho water, maintaining his body in au oblliiuo position. At last fatigue overpowered him. Hut ho struggled bravely, trying to grasp tho beams from whicli ho hung and llinging his hands around him iu ft desporate effort to clutch anything within reach. Thou, accepting his fato, ho fell again and hung motionless abovo thotreaohorous llood, but death was slow in coming. Tho water was now touching his hair and still slowly rising, HautuVhavolehltu rtet'brtaUf'0B;n-foii head. A first wave now dripped against his face. Then tho water rose above his eyes and slowly, slowly, wo saw his head disap- tfU pear. wM Tho women at our feet buried their faces 'M in their hands. We fell upon our knees with M uplifted arms, weeping and besieging heaven .S with prayer. Aimeo still'stood on the roof ,9 pressing hor babes to her bosom, her shrill iB shrieks piercing tho stillness of the night. I cannot toll how long we remained in this U state of stupor. When I came to my senses rV again tho water had risen alarmingly. It had AS now reached tho tiles, and the roof was only StU a narrow island rising abovo an immense sea. 9 The houses to the right and left of us must -tofl have all crumbled away. The water was 'tffim u ery whero. 4al9 Wo nro moving," whispered Bose, who was crouching ou the tiles. Al Indeed, wo did feel a sensation like that 9M caused by tho rolling of a ship, and it seemed as if tho roof was changed iiito a raft. C9 The great swelling waves appeared to whirl ansa us along. Hut when wo looked at tho tower 'a of the church standing motionless in front of mm us tliis dizzluees ceused, and wo found our- .J91 selves btill iu tho same spot, with the waves ltfM surging around us. -f9 Tho waters roared moro furiously. Bis I flocks of foam wero flung around our feet. rm Wo could hear the dull groaning of tho Jffl water-tilled house and the creaking of the B partition walls as the llood burst through. ?KW At times when the attack boeaine more fierce) JfUm aud the timbers struck the building end JM foremost, it seemod to us that all was over, lfl that tho walls woro rent asunder and that wa wero plunging into tho abyss through tho dUM yawning breach. jjla Uaspard had ventured to the very edgo of 'im tho roof.

Pierre helped him. I onrsed tho old 'age that had robbed me of my $M strength and left me weak as a child. The V defense began a duel between three men WM and an angry river. Gospard, holding the 'm beam boforo him, averted tho timbers that -fl tho current turned against us and broke their j3B force a short distanco from tho walls.

K1JNG LO,, THE "LEADING" ClOTBHERS, ADVERTISE TOY It is amusing to observe the parrot-like fashion with which some puerile and inconsiderable clothing concerns at tempt to imitate our advertisements and OUR ORIGINAL MODERN METHODS of liberal dealing with the public. The trouble is that while these fellows copy our advertise- I ments thev don't copy our FACTS," nor imitate our goods 1 in quality or value. Now our GREAT "TEN-DOLLAR SALE," which will take place THURSDAY, DEC. 15, is a SOLID FACT in the Clothing Business that never has -been, and never will be, du- plicated. Wehall, as usual, fulfil our advertisement to the 1 letter. The goods are ready for your examination to-day. Como J and see them. t T&E LEASING CX.OTHIERS, 52; 620 iMHY, MM BLEESKES. ST.
