Dolores nud Moray had almost reached tho group of sycamores when tho first eartii.ptako shock was f. They had loitered, with the iudif- j fereuco of lovers us to the lli.'ht of time, on their slow (tad win din ; wed!;; nud it was the purplo dusk of the California twilight, soon to bo pierc.'d by tho silvery splendor of aa ia;lv risiug moon. Uut as yd no lui oa was visible; thtio was a strange, still oppressiveness ill the air; the liusliy twilight seenteu to deepen ami tliicaen, ami Dolores suddenly stopped and clung to tho arm on which she had been leaning, while n slight shudder, as of some impending cidaaiity, shook her from head to fool. j "What a curious night! There is I something vaguely threatening and j awful in this atmosphere. Tho moon I is surely very late iu showing her fair, bright face to-iuglit." , "She is always kind tc lovers," said Moray, laughingly, and stooping to press hit lips on tho rippling, silken hair that was being blown ogaiust his face. A slioht br,ezo had riuon suddenly, but it was not cool; it seemed, Indeed, hut and laden with a sulphurous odor. "What is that sound?" asked Dolores. "Do you hear ii. Harold? It is liko some heavy weight pounding tho ground." "Yes, it is. Perhaps tho ghost walks to-night. This is her anniver sary," he answered lighlly. "But i'-ho" cau hardly bo digging a grave, t hosts aro moro inclined to gotout of them. That is surely tho sound of a piek-uxc." "Oh, Harold! Harold !" Dolores gave a quick, sharp cry of midden irrepressible terror, and her lover's arms closed around h-r with the instinct of protection; uad then, for what might have been a miunto or .m hour, they stood clinging to each other, whiio tho ground seemed no longer solid earth, bat u quaking bog. It shook, it rocked, it trembled aa I then slowly it settled into quiet uu.l was still awfully still, leaving on iho minds of those who had felt tho shock a provoking impulsion of hav ing suffered from somo huge, practical joke. "I suppose this is what you call an earthquake, in this ustonisiiing coun try," said Lord Harold, presently. "Y'es," said Dolores rather tremu lously; "I don't think it is over; it will como again." Tho words had scarcely passed her lips when a second shock almost dung them off tho grouml. It was much more violent than the first. There was it wild coiifasn u m the air; spots of light seemed to dart like ilectrio flashes, to and fro; preat trucks and fissures opened in the ground; there was the crush as of croes uprooted. And through all tin.. noisy outbreak of nature's hi. Id "i passions i-iniic the sound of v. il.l, i x cited, human voices, and ono pro longed thrilling shriek. After that, another long silence. Dolores did not speak for many mi i utes, nor did her companion; but in held her, calmly, clo icly. slion;ly I his breast, and though she tremlih '. it was only a iierv ::i tremor, li' knew that sho was not itfr iid.

This tendency to nbainlnii arat'le for crass hind Is ono that is going to h- inteiisuied by cxlPt Ing eooinnnie causes.

Smile farmers think there Is mulling gained by raising iiumpkitrs miming corn, because l hey appropriate t'nrt of fli - fertility wmcn snnum jro to the corn, and i hereby lessen the val.' of tho corn more iliau the woltlj of the pumpkins. Tnis may be true where iho bind is too poor to supply iioi-.risliii.i nt eiiuuah for the corn; but such land should never be planted with corn, rast, west, north or south, for m uiatier how thor ni:li th tillage may be a paving crop of corn can never be l' lisi d nil pour land unless It is Well lii'iinu id.
