I -understood Jack Marryatt well
enough to know he'd kick me out of

side came a grinding, shattering, roar
ing,, like a hundred trains crossing A
hundred bridges.' Then followed the sil
very rattle of breaking glass, the thun
derous crash of walls, wild screams
tnat grew feeble, eeased, then silence.
I ran to a window, but could Bee
nothing but dust dust It shut out the
day and the boon. I groped back into
tne room. Jack was standing In the
open door, twisting and untwisting his
sort zeit nat.
"Earthquake! : My Godr he cried In
a hoarse whisper.
I tried to speak, but my tongue was
irosen. I reached out my hand and
touched his coat I felt the warmth of
his body and langhed like a child that
reeis tne pressure or its mother's kiss
in the dark.
He clutched my arm. "Comer he
cried. "Comer' It was a savage cry,
yet trembling with agony.
"Where?" I asked. I was frightened
at my own voice.
"Amy!" he cried. "Merciful God,
Amy!'
We went down the stairs stagger
ing, falling, struggling, we went down
the stairs. Be was the first In the
street I after him. He led the way,
and I followed. Over plies of brick
and iron, through dust that choked
and blinded, we ran. The streets were
full of people, running like we were.
But there was no word spoken, save
only the cry, of soma one under a wall
or the crooning of a mother to a chUd
in her arms.
I was beginning to oreatne once
more and to get a new grip on life
when again came the rumble and roar,
and the earth trembled in its agony.
Tall buildings leaned till they all but
touched. I could see but a narrow
line of sky between. I thought they
would fall and crush me, bnt I dldnt
care. I didn't care for anything. I
wanted to laugh. I thought if I dldnt
laugh I'd die. But I dldn't-I ran. I
could hardly keep on my feet I
seemed to be stumbling over ridges of
earth that sank out of sight when I
stepped on them.
Jack kept right ahead of me, bnt
presently be stopped so suddenly that
I ran into htm.
"Oh," he said, "I can't leave them
there!" His face was pale as death.
Anxiety burned in his eyes, but a
great pity trembled In his voice.
"Can't leave whom?" I gasped, but
already he had turned back.
I followed, and we came to a frail
woman sitting on tho curbstone. In
her arms was a baby. At her knes
was a little girl. The girl was crying.
On the woman's face wns the paleness
of utter exhaustion, on her Hps was
a prayer, nnd In her ejus, resting on
her children, the deep palD with which
love embitters despair.
"Madam," he said, "you will let ns

Sho looked at him, In her eyes a

He clasped the baby in his arms and
motioned for me to take the girl.
Then, with his strong band grasping
the woman's arm. we hurried away.
Three blocks distant a man bolted
into ns a large, broad shouldered man
with grime on his bands and grease
and dirt on his face that shone pale
Deneath. The woman threw her arms
about the man's neck and sobbed, and
the man took Jack's band and held It
for an insti.nt, then reached forth his
arms for the babe. Jack kissed the
child and handed it to him and stood
looking at it wistfully until they wore
awallowed by the throng.
We Dassed a church. The door waa

How utterly God forsaken she looked!
Bnt when she saw Jick she paed
and stood like a stag at bay, her head

voiceless, the color coming and going
