The rich people began to make arrangements to get away, but before they could carry them out awful confusion fell upon them; day was turned to night, the clouds of dust fell thickly and chokingly, stifling men as they ran; volumes of lava poured forth, sweeping like fiery serpents down the mountain-side; they rushed over Herculaneum, which was not far from Pompeii, so that while the one city was boiled the other was smothered.

I can see, I know it." "No, no!" said the boy, quickly, "it's not that, Uncle Richard! I was only thinking of of papa, that was all." "What about him?" queried Trafford; "I never knew that you mourned before."

Lass, with the queer intuition that tells a female collie when her master is unhappy, whined softly and licked his clenched hand. "I aw, PLEASE, Ma!" he begged chokingly. "PLEASE! It's it's my birthday, and everything.

He had awakened the Missioner, who was sitting up, staring at him. "Tavish ..." cried David chokingly; "Tavish is dead!" and he pointed to the end of the cabin where they could hear again that tap-tap-tapping against the log wall.
"Does the light hurt your eyes, and is that the reason why you didn't want the lamp?" asked Mrs. Brigham kindly. "I always like to sit in the dark," replied Rebecca chokingly.
