Sir John Beddoes was already a familiar figure in the. club. as indeed his finances could bear dolelul testimony.

[ Somewhat apart in the set-fusion of a window-recess. cosily ensconced so as to profit of the warmth of the great yel- low fire. sat three gentlemen. A fourth chair remained vacant at their liltllf‘; and from the impatient glances which two of the party now and ;;::in turned upon the different doors. it was evident that the arrival of its expected occupant was overdue. The third gentleman.i who bore a stamp of a distinctly foreign race,â€"-altlimigh his hair. which he wore but slightly powdered. was of a fair hue, and his face rather sanguine than darkâ€"seemed to endure the delay with complete indifference. His attention was \vhollly given to the shuffling ot‘ a pack of cards. which he manipulated with exereme dexterity. while he listen- ed to his companions’ remarks with iinpassive countenance. He was a hand- some man. despite a bulk of frame and feature which almost amounted to coarseness; hardly yet in the prime of life. with full blue eyes and lull red tips. which took. when he spoke or smiled. a curious curve. baring the canine in almost sinster fashion. The (thevaliw de Ville-Rouge. introduced at White's by the Prussian Ambassador. as a distinguished officer of the great Fred- erick visiting England for his pleasure, had shown himself so daring a player as to be welcomed among the most not- ed gamblers. He had lost and won large sums with great breeding, and had in his six weeks‘ stay contrived to improve an imperfect knowledge of an alien tongue in such fashion as to make in- tercourse with his English companions ‘ quite sufficiently easy. 1 The tenth hour of an October night had rung out owe: a fag-swathed Lon- don; yet, despite the tin» of your, un- tnshionablc for town life, despite the unpropltious weather, the long card- ronm at \Vhila’s was rapidly filling.

All 3 turned to greet him, and poor Sir John found his feelings once more subjected ' to a shock. ’ 'l‘he vauaintances of Basil Jennieo were accustomed to find his brow charged with gloom, to see his cheek wear the pallor of one who sleeps little and thinks much. But in his demeanour to-night was more than the usual sonihreness, on his countenance other than natural pal- lor. As he stood for a moment respond- ing absently to the Chevalier’s hearty greeting, and Carew’s bantering salu- talion of “All hail!" it became further apparent that his dress was discolored, that his ruffles were torn and blood- slained, that his brocade jacket was jaggedly rent upon the left side, and al- so ominously stained here and there. “Gadzooks, man!” exclaimed Carew, his bleared grey eyes lighting at the prospect of a new wholesale scandal for his little retail shop “What has hap- pened thee? Wounded? How? Ah, best not inquire perhaps! Beddoes, lad, see you he has got reasons for his delay. Who knows but that you may have a chance to-night after all.

Ah. sad dog, sad dog! 1 will warrant thou hast had the balance nevertheless to thy c1"- dit. Now do I remember a little lady was casting very curious looks at you at Almaek’s last night.” Basil had flung himself into the chair that had so long waited him. and seem- ed to lend but a half-appending ear to the pratller on his left, who. as he leant towards him. was hardly ahle to re- strain his eager hand from lingering the hurt so unmistakably evidenced. On the right the Chevalier as uiisumesslnl- ly‘ pressed him with earnest queries, manifesting. it would seem. a genuine ‘ anxiety. But while he cud'relied his brains for an explanation of this sudden humor ii‘ :1 man who was neither “imiei nor loser by Basil Jennieo’s appearance, the face of Ihe Chevalier resumed its wonted indiIferent expression and duiness of hue with a rapidity that altogether con- founded the observer. ,. i Sir John Beddoes‘s’ wiis were none of the sharpest, but. it was clear even in him that the emotion thus expressed “as one of furious disappointment.

A despatch from Santiago says: Some of the horrifying details of the terrible disaster came here on Wednesday in the first mail that has been received since the earthquake began. Fifty chil- dren in one house were crushed and three Catholic nuns. who were attempt- ing to rescue those-m the ruins. were kilied by another shock, which brought the remainder of the building down. Order is being maintained with the utmost. severity by the military. police and armed eitizens' patrols. who are empowered to shoot. on the spot. The authorities are showing the utmost en- ergy in the protection or property. With the tirst terrible shock of the earthquake buildings collapsed, their walls fallingr with tremendous noise. The inmates in many cases were unable to escape. The shock was followed at- most immediately by a fierce storm. the wind pi‘ostruting walls that had been weakened by the earthquake. and these broke trolley wires. which flashed in- cessantly. 'l'lie set-0nd shock was even heavier than the tirst. SLlGllT SHOCKS CONTINUE.

The Chilean representative‘s op- timistic prediction as to trade was fav- orably seconded by several merchants who do business with the stricken city, though they did not believe that the damage done by earthquake and tire could be repaired in the time set by the Consul-General. ’ l SUN] The loss of life by the earthquake or Thursday, August 16. probably will not be short. of 3.000, while tho properly deslmyod is estimated at $1(XJ.OOO.(ML and possibly is far in excess of lha! our“ , 777V.-.J --“)IIUJ| U0 The people are still camping surrounding hills and llm sire plazas, and mo calm and com turning.
