  APPENDIX。
  WEATHER　FOR　USE　IN　THIS　BOOK。
  Selected　from　the　Best　Authorities。
  A　brief　though　violent　thunderstorm　which　had　raged　over　the　city　was
  passing　away；　but　still；　though　the　rain　had　ceased　more　than　an　hour
  before；　wild　piles　of　dark　and　coppery　clouds；　in　which　a　fierce　and
  rayless　glow　was　laboring；　gigantically　overhung　the　grotesque　and
  huddled　vista　of　dwarf　houses；　while　in　the　distance；　sheeting　high　over
  the　low；　misty　confusion　of　gables　and　chimneys；　spread　a　pall　of　dead；
  leprous　blue；　suffused　with　blotches　of　dull；　glistening　yellow；　and　with
  black　plague…spots　of　vapor　floating　and　faint　lightnings　crinkling　on
  its　surface。　　Thunder；　still　muttering　in　the　close　and　sultry　air；　kept
  the　scared　dwellers　in　the　street　within；　behind　their　closed　shutters；
  and　all　deserted；　cowed；　dejected；　squalid；　like　poor；　stupid；　top…heavy
  things　that　had　felt　the　wrath　of　the　summer　tempest；　stood　the　drenched
  structures　on　either　side　of　the　narrow　and　crooked　way；　ghastly　and
  picturesque；　under　the　giant　canopy。　　Rain　dripped　wretchedly　in　slow
  drops　of　melancholy　sound　from　their　projecting　eaves　upon　the　broken
  flagging；　lay　there　in　pools　or　trickled　into　the　swollen　drains；　where
  the　fallen　torrent　sullenly　gurgled　on　its　way　to　the　river。
  〃The　Brazen　Android。〃…W。　　D。　　O'Connor。
  The　fiery　mid…March　sun　a　moment　hung
  Above　the　bleak　Judean　wilderness；
  Then　darkness　swept　upon　us；　and　't　was　night。
  〃Easter…Eve　at　Kerak…Moab。〃Clinton　Scollard。
  The　quick…coming　winter　twilight　was　already　at　hand。　　Snow　was　again
  falling；　sifting　delicately　down；　incidentally　as　it　were。
  〃Felicia。〃　　Fanny　N。　D。　Murfree。
  Merciful　heavens！　　The　whole　west；　from　right　to　left；　blazes　up　with　a
  fierce　light；　and　next　instant　the　earth　reels　and　quivers　with　the　awful
  shock　of　ten　thousand　batteries　of　artillery。　　It　is　the　signal　for　the
  Fury　to　springfor　a　thousand　demons　to　scream　and　shriekfor
  innumerable　serpents　of　fire　to　writhe　and　light　up　the　blackness。
  Now　the　rain　falls…now　the　wind　is　let　loose　with　a　terrible　shrieknow
  the　lightning　is　so　constant　that　the　eyes　burn；　and　the　thunder…claps
  merge　into　an　awful　roar；　as　did　the　800　cannon　at　Gettysburg。　　Crash！
  Crash！　　Crash！　　It　is　the　cottonwood　trees　falling　to　earth。　　Shriek！
  Shriek！　　Shriek！　　It　is　the　Demon　racing　along　the　plain　and　uprooting
  even　the　blades　of　grass。　　Shock！　　Shock！　　Shock！　　It　is　the　Fury
  flinging　his　fiery　bolts　into　the　bosom　of　the　earth。

  Away　up　the　gorge　all　diurnal　fancies　trooped　into　the　wide　liberties　of
  endless　luminous　vistas　of　azure　sunlit　mountains　beneath　the　shining
  azure　heavens。　　The　sky；　looking　down　in　deep　blue　placidities；　only　here
  and　there　smote　the　water　to　azure　emulations　of　its　tint。
  〃In　the　Stranger's　Country。〃　Charles　Egbert　Craddock。
  There　was　every　indication　of　a　dust…storm；　though　the　sun　still　shone
  brilliantly。　　The　hot　wind　had　become　wild　and　rampant。　　It　was　whipping
  up　the　sandy　coating　of　the　plain　in　every　direction。　　High　in　the　air
  were　seen　whirling　spires　and　cones　of　sanda　curious　effect　against　the
  deep…blue　sky。　　Below；　puffs　of　sand　were　breaking　out　of　the　plain　in
  every　direction；　as　though　the　plain　were　alive　with　invisible　horsemen。
  These　sandy　cloudlets　were　instantly　dissipated　by　the　wind；　it　was　the
  larger　clouds　that　were　lifted　whole　into　the　air；　and　the　larger　clouds
  of　sand　were　becoming　more　and　more　the　rule。
  Alfred's　eye；　quickly　scanning　the　horizon；　descried　the　roof　of　the
  boundary…rider's　hut　still　gleaming　in　the　sunlight。　　He　remembered　the
  hut　well。　　It　could　not　be　farther　than　four　miles；　if　as　much　as　that；
  from　this　point　of　the　track。　　He　also　knew　these　dust…storms　of　old；
  Bindarra　was　notorious　for　them：　Without　thinking　twice；　Alfred　put；
  spurs　to　his　horse　and　headed　for　the　hut。　　Before　he　had　ridden　half　the
  distance　the　detached　clouds　of　sand　banded　together　in　one　dense
  whirlwind；　and　it　was　only　owing　to　his　horse's　instinct　that　he　did　not
  ride　wide　of　the　hut　altogether；　for　during　the　last　half…mile　he　never
  saw　the　hut；　until　its　outline　loomed　suddenly　over　his　horse's　ears；　and
  by　then　the　sun　was　invisible。
