When Jones set such a charming
example Of mans nobility, by rushing
hither and yon, pulling unlucky pas
sengers out Of their predicament, the
younger man, urged on by similar mo-
tives, started in the other direction.
He worked like a Trojan, for the
cries that came from the lips of fright
ened women gave him the impression
that the catastrophe might be even
more serious than as yet appeared.
Among the women was one who
seemed more deeply interested in
watching the quick, nervous actions of
young Merrick than in lamenting the
loss Of her f1nery, as some Of the other
1amsels were doing.
Chis self-possessed young person
was petite in figure, and wholly angel
ic in appearance-in fact, she was no
other than the girl from the Trans
vaal, the owner of unnumbered dia-
mond mines, Little Miss Millions.
OF course Merrick was doing his best
to make the ladies comfortable.
He invaded a carriage, secured all
he could, and having logged it to the
fire, demanded an owner, who eagerly
put in claim.
All was proceeding well when for
the first time he set eyes upon the face
Of Constance Dare. l
AS before, when he had seen her In
the Parisiain carriage. her appearance
gave him o shock. for he stood quite
still, holding his breath, and passing
one hand over his forehead as though
In doubt whether he were really awake
OF dreaming.
