for the passengers. Look alive, jump

Mr.. Murgatroyd persisted. He
reached the bridge. The bank beside
was trampled into steps, and the rail
ing torn down. BY this way had those
who had escaped uninjured from the
wrecked train left the scene of the nc
cident, and by this way had those been
removed who had been hurt and killed.
A red lamp glared like an evil eye upon
the place where the great disaster had
occurred, and as threat TO the banker
that he must expect the worst. He was
resolved i'm mind that his son had

rection. If so, by this time he was safe
in his mothers arms. But there was
the chance that he had suffered, that he
was lying in one of the refugees opened
hastily for the accommodation OF those
injured, and before returning home he
must make sure whether this were so or
not.
On the bridge a party of carolers
were walking. shouting out snatches OF
the Christmas hymn:
christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour OF the world was born"
1t was evening, night rather, not
morning, not approaching TO morning,
but that did not concern the singers,
who saw nothing inappropriate in their
song.
The banker ran after the carolers,
accosted them, and inquired where tho
injured persons were.
There's some at the Horse and
