The band of the French Opera

wind instruments except the

others were strings. The bell room

phosphorescent fires, incandescent
in serpentine forms, were seen rising
from the sea like shadowy monsters.

distinctly audible at intervals in the
blackness and gloom an unearthly
moan fronwtbe depths of the sea.
The women became seriously
frightened, and the men realized
that Nature was in one of her most
unusual and marvelous moods-

danger. There had been gTeat
storms before. This was but the

the dance. Women clothed them-
selves for the evening’s ball, aided
by dett-banded maids, but wtth
hearts ill at ease. Other thoughts
than those of conquest were filling
their souls with dread of what
might come. But they would go;
perhaps the gay dresses, the brilliant
lights, the soft, sweet dance music
might drive away the vague fears
that oppressed their souls.
At 10 o’clock t&e dance was at its
height. Outside the storm was
