Mi AFTER THE STORM CHAPTER I THE WAR OF THE ELEMENTS. TO June day ever opened with a fairer ptot-Le Not a single cloud flecked the sky, and tht sun coursedonward through the azuresea until past meridian, withoutthrowing to the earth a single shadow. Then, low in the west, appeared something obscure and hazy, blending the hill-tops with the horizon an hour later, and three or four small fleecy islands were seen, clearly outlined in the airy ocean, and slowly ascendingavant-eou- riers of a coming storm. Following these were mountain peaks, snow-capped and craggy, with desolate valleys between. Then, over all this arc- tic panorama, fell a sudden shadow. The white tops of the cloudy hills lost their clenr, gleaming outlines and their slumbrous stillness. The at- mosphere was in motion, and a white scud began to drive across the heavy, dark masses of clouds that lay far back against the sky in mountain-like repose.

At the window ofa house standing picturesquely among the Hudson Highlands, and looking down upon the river, stood a maiden and her lover, gazing upon this wild war among the elements. Fear had pressed her closely to his side, and he had drawn an arm around her in assurance of safety. Suddenly the maiden clasped her hands over her face, cried out andshuddered. The lightning had shivered a tree upon which her gaze was fixed, it rending as she could have rent a willow wand. God is in the storm, said the lover, bending to her ear. He spoke reverently and in a voice that had in it no tremor of fear...
