San Francisco. March 20.—The steamer Newport, which has just arrived from Panama and way ports, was severely shaken by an earthquake while at sea. So pronounced was the shock that most of the passengers and many of the crew believed that the steamer had run on a reef. It was shortly after 3 o'clock on the morning of March 11 and while the vessel was about eighteen miles off the coast of Corinto that the shock was felt. Several of the passengers, aroused from their sleep by the force of the quake, rushed on deck tn their nightclothes. Engine Was a Sight. Evansville. Ind..

“What you have said is the only approach to a rule for knowing and doing the right I have ever heard. Now what do you think of me as a flatterer? But it will do no good. The bad is in me too strong. It always does itself before I can apply any rule or even realise what is coming.” And again she shook her bead, with a bewttchlng Mt tie look of trouble. “Pardon me. your highness, but there is no bad in you It has been put on you by others and is all on the outside There is none of it in your heart at all. That evil which you think corccs out of you simply falls from you. Your heart is all right or I have greatly misI judgtri you.” He was treating her al most as if she were a child. “I fear. Master Brandon, you are the most adroit flatterer of nil." said Mary, shaking her head and looking up at him with a side glance. "People have deluged me with all kinds of flattery— I have different sorts listed and labeled —but no one has ever gone to the extravagant length of calling me good. Perhaps they think 1 do not care for that, but I like it best I don’t like the others at all. If I am beautiful or not. it is as God made me, and I have nothing to do with it nnd desire no credit, but if I could onlv lie good it might be my own doing perhaps, aud 1 ought to have praise. I wonder if there is really I and truly any good in me and if you have read me aright” Then, looking up at him with a touch of consternation. "Or are you laughing at me?" Brandon wisely let the last suggestion pass unnoticed. “I am sure that I am right. You have glorious capacities for good, but. alas, corresponding possibilities for evil. It will eventually all depend upon the man you marry. He can make out of you a perfect woman or the reverse.” Again there was the surprised expression in Mary’s face, but Braudon’s serious look disarmed her. "I fear you are right, as to the reverse at any rate, and the worst of it is I shall never be able to choose a man to lielp me. but shall sooner or later be compelled to marry the creature who will pay the greatest price.” “God forbid!” said Brandon reverently. They were growing rather serious, so Mary turned the conversation again into the laughing mood aud said, with a haif Righ: "Oh. I hope you are tight about the possibilities for good, but you do not know. Wait until you have seen more of me.” "I certainly hope I shall not have long to wait." The siup.-ised eyes again glanced quickly up to the serious face, but the answer earner "That you shall not. But here is the queen, and I suppose we must have the benediction." Brandon understood her hint that the preaching was over. and. taking it for his dismissal. playfully liftesl his hands in imitation of the old bishop of Canterbury and murmured the first line of the Latin benediction. Then they both laughed and eourtesied, and Brandon walked away. CHAPTER IV. A LESSON IN DAM I NO. Kyi LAT’GHED heartily w ben Jane 1 ] told me of the tilt between SJI Brandon and Prim •si M iry tin- latter of w I tn w . t - I habit of saying unkind things and be1 ing thanked for them. Brandon was the wrong mnn to say them to. as Mary learned. He was not hot tempered -in fact, just the reverse —but be was the last man to brook an affront aud the quickest to resent in a cool headed, dangerous way an intentional offense ' He respected himself and made oth--1 ers do the same, or seem to do so at | least. He had no vanity, wiiicli is but au Inordinate desire for those qualities j that bring self respect and often the re 1 suit of conscious demerit, but he knew himself and knew that ho was entitled to his own good opinion Ho wa« every inch a man, strong. Intelligent and I brave to temerity, with a reckteM dis regard of consequences, which might have been dangerous had it not been tempered by a dash of prudence and caution that gave him ballast. I was not surprised when I beard of the encounter, for I knew enough of him to be sure that Mary's high handedness would meet Its counterpart in my j cool friend Brandon. It was, however. ! sn unfortunate victory, and what al) | Mary’s beauty am! brightness would have failed to do her honest, open acknowledgment of wrong, following so I quickly upon the heels of her fault, ac I j complisl-.cd easily. Jt drew him within I the circle of her fatal attractions, and when Jane told me of It 1 knew his fate I was waled mid that sooner or later bis i untouchet! heart and cool head would ' fall victim to the shafts that so surely winged all others. it might and probably would be “later," since, as Brandon bad said, he was not one of those who wear the heart upon the sleeve. Then he had that strong vein of prudence and caution which, in view Mary's uuatttilnabieuvss, woultl probably come to ills help. But never was man's heart strong enough to resist Mary Tudor's smile for long. There was this difference between Brn talon and mo»t otbere—he would |>e

now to love, nut wnen lore should once feirly take root in his Intense nature he , would not do to trifle with The night after the meeting Mary I cuddled up to Jane, who slept with her, and whispered, half basbfullj -Tell me all ah>n» 1«”>- * 11111 interested in him. I believe if I knew more persons like litin 1 should be a ■ better girl, notwithstanding he is one of the boldest men I ever knew He says anything he wishes and, with all his modest manner, is ns cool with me ' as if 1 were a burgher's daughter. Ilia I modesty is all on the outside, but it is pretty.'and pretty things must lie on the outside to be useful. I wonder if . Judson thought him modest." Jane talked of Brandon to Mary, who was in an excellent humor, until the girls fell asleep. When Jane told me of this. I became frightened, for the surest way to any woman's heart is to convince her that you make her better and arouse In her breast purer impulses and higher aspirations. It would be bad enough should Brandon fall in love with the princess, which was almost sure to happen, but for them to fall in love with each 1 other meant Brandon's bead upon the block and Mary's heart bruised, broken and empty for life. Her strong nature, filled to the brim with latent passion, i was the stuff of which love makes a i conflagration that burns to destruc- | tion. and should she learn to love Bran- | don she would move heaven aud earth to possess him. She whose every desire from childhood up had been gratified, whose every whim seemed to her a jairamount necessity, would stop at nothing when the dearest wish a woman's heart can coin was to be gained or lost. Brandons element of prudence might help him and might forestall any effort on his yrrt to win her, but Mary had never beard of prudence, and man's caution avails but little when set against woman's daring. In case , they Imth should love they were sure ' to try' for each other and in trying were equally sure to find ruin aud desola- , rion. A few evenings after this I met the princess in the queen's drawing room. She beckoaad me to her and. resting her elliows on the top of a cabinet, her chin in her hands, said: "I met your ■ ■ "I met wur friind. Did he tell vctiF’ friend. Captain Brandon, a day or two ago. Did he tell you?" “No,” I answered. "Jane told me. but he has not mentioned it.” It was true Brandon hud not said a word of the matter, and I had not ' fqiuken of it either. I wanted to eee I bow long be would remain silent con- . cernlng an adventure that would have ; set most men of the court ixMstlng at a great rate. To have a tilt with the ever victorious Mary aud to come off victor was enough.
