I bnd felt that the air was growing
hotter and hotter, but nobody seemed to
notice it until the moon went out and a
urning hot wind began lashing toe
orange troes with a sound liko the noise
of'be ana. Before wo knew where we
were the duat storm wah on us, end every
thing was roaring, whirling darkness.
The aupper-tnhlo was blown bodily into
tho tunic, We were afraid of staying
nnywhero near tho old tomb for fear it
might be blown down, bo we felt our
way to the oia»ge trees, where our lionet
were picket??, ana waited for the atorm
to blow over. Then tho M ile light that
w as left vanished, and you could not see
your hand before your face.
The storm lulled slightly after the first
half hour, and I heard a despairing little
voice close to my ear, saying to itself,
quietly and softly, as if eorae lost soul
were Hying about with the winds: “O
my God!” Then the younger Miss Cop-
l#iuh stumbled into my arms, saying:
‘Where is my hone? Get tnv hone! I
want to go Louie! Take me home 1”
1 thought that the lightning and the
black darkness had frightened her; so I
said there was no danger, but siio must
wait till tin- storm blew over. Who on-
awered: “It is not that! It is not that!
1 want to go home! Ob, take me away
from here!”
1 said sbo could not go till the light
came; but I felt her bruali past me and
go nway. It was too dark to are where.
Then the whole aky was split open with
one tremendous Hash, as if thr end of the
world were coming, and all the women
shrieked.
Almost directly after this 1 felt a
man’s hand upon tuy shoulder and heard
tsaumarez bellowing in my ear. Through
the rattling of the trees and tho howling
of the wind I did not cntcli his words at
once, but at last 1 heard him sat: “I've
proposed to the wrong one! what shall
l do?” Saumarez had no occasion to
toake this confidence to me. I was never
a tricud of hi*, nor am 1 now; but 1
fancy that neither of us were ourselves
just then, ilo was shaking with excite

of anything to cay except: “More fool

not made until after that km^ was *4**-

Frederick Leuj-, I’rinceot Wales, Tho
nurrl orcf tile lota remain unchanged
until this day.
Georgs III. made grants to many t er-
sons Tlie conditions upon which grants
w#re mads in those days seem very pe
culiar now. When a grant wa* made,
papers were drawn up in which the p- r-
