drew the water, and held up the cup; but
instead of taking it as she approached, she
brushed suddenly past me, opened the door, and
rushed out upon the platform.

There was a rush, a tumult hustle. | was

"Jumped off the express train. Well" !" said
the CONDUCTOR Struggling his shoulders, "she

child, as you call her, is Atilla Burton, mar
ried woman, twenty-six years of age, who last
night murdered four persons in cold blood, and
was trying to escape to Canada. That's what

The train was stopped, and q party of us,
headed by the conductor and detective went
back to search for any trace of the beautiful
young creature, whose lovliness and apparent
innocence had appealed to my sympathes. Nor
was it long before we found her, lying quite dead
beside the track, frightfully mangled by the
force of the fall and mutated almost beyond
recognition.
"Wel she's escaped justice in this world, if
not the next" said the detective goomiy as he
stood looking down upon her remains.

without much injury; women are unrea-
soning creatures. But never dreamed of such
insane folly or should have taken prompt meas

They lifted up the dead fair thing and carried
it to the nearest place of refuge-a lonely farm
house among the frozen hills, and returned
to the train, reaching Bayswater only few min-

When you meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As a thing of evil fame,
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word Of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detracton
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
Working out his own undoing
With his recklessness and sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would a kind word be in vain2
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win the back to truth again2
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad.
Better have al act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with dsdain,
Than by Judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain,
