Ted Burritt stood bareheaded be-
side his new friend, the doctor. Sud-
denly there was a commotion among
the crowd at little distance and he
heard a sharp cry. Then the crowd
opened, as though to make way for
some one, and he saw young man

recognized as the widow, whose hope

Ted had no difficulty in finding out
the house. The door was opened to
him by an elderly woman servant,
who, as Ted thought, seemed to re-
gard him with a certain amount Of
suspicion. Howbeit, she babe him
enter. From an inner room a voice
hailed him.
"Hullo,-that you? That's right

until I've finished poisoning of the

door came the clink Of glass and the
sound Of liquids being poured from
one receptacle to another.

Simple Explanation.

An old man wandered into one OF
the hospitals of an Eastern city. His
eyesight was rather bad, and he had
come in the hope of securing relief.
He was turned over to young doc
tor, who adjusted large frame in
front Of the patients eyes and placed
in 1t couple of strong magnifying
glasses. He then held a printed card
some distance away.
Can you read that?" he asked.
mo, sir" replied the old man.
The doctor then put in stronger
glasses and brought the card nearer.
WELL" he inquired, "can you read
it now"
The old fellow shook his head, say
ing, mo, not a word"
After repeating this performance
several times the doctor was about to
turn him over in despair to his more
experienced superior. when the old
man quietly explained:
You see, doctor, never learned to
read"

Dr.. jeremiah at Home.

The inquest, which took place at
noon on Monday, was held in the
school house. The jury, having been
sworn in, proceeded to view the bodies
and on their return from this mel
ancholy duty the coroner made an
unexpected announcement, which
caused a great sensation among the
closely packed audience.
st having been brought to my no
tice that one of the supposed victims
of the late disastrous affair, instead of
losing his life, as was concluded at
the time, through the accident in
which SO many have, unfortunately,
persisted, has come by his death
through foul play, it Is my intention to
hold a separate inquiry upon the body
at the same hour tomorrow. | shall
now proceed with my inquiry as to
the manner in which the other pas
sengers met their death. Call the first
witness"
Later in the day hundreds of people
gathered in the churchyard to witness
the interments.
The body of Silas Burritt had been
taken back to the vestry, where 1t
would remain until his son fulfilled
the promise he had made and brought
it home. Earth to EARTH. ashes to

himself.

He whispered the rest in his ear.
The station master replied, with a
glance of curiosity and sympathy COM
bined at the young man, who was the
Doctors companion, that the carriage
or the remains Of 1t had been left at
the side of the line, about one hundred
yards farther down. They soon found
1t.
"Ah, yes" said the doctor, this is
the very carriage. You see, 1t Is a
good deal damaged; but think, for
all that, we may be able to find what
we are looking for The first COM
partment is the one that concerns us. "
One door of this had been smashed
and beaten in by the force of the con-
cussion; the seat had been splintered,
and showed that The fire had caught
1t in places, and the flooring was torn
up. The other end of the compart-
ment, though less wrecked, had re-
ceived more damage from the fire, the
cushions had entirely disappeared, the
woodwork was black and charred, and
what remained Of the door hung from
a single hinge.
Now" said the doctor, taking on
his coat before clambering in, you
had better stop outside; there isn't
room for two of us in here at once.
Il was in this corner"-indlcating that
end of the carriage which had re-

CHAPTER x.-continued.

Long before the service was over
there were sounds of lamentation and
wailing from many of those present,
and several were compelled to quit the
church from the violence of their emo
tion.
AT last it was over and the numer-
Gus and variously compounded congre-
CATION broke up.
After partaking of a frugal meal,
Ted sat down to await the arrival OF
DR.. Cartwright. He hoped that moth
ing unforeseen would occur to cause
him to put off his visit, for he was
beginning to rely good deal upon
the energetic little man, who had
shown himself at once shrewd and
kindly in his dealings with him. He
could scarcely believe he had met
him yesterday for the first time-and
here he became aware of brisk and
familiar voice below.
1.How do you find yourself to-day,
Mrs. Jinman, and how's your lodger?
Hope you're looking after him well;
giving him plenty of new laid eggs
and cream and that sort of thing?
There's nothing like good living to
soften the effect of bereavement
Ted heard the voice gradually
mounting the stairs and the next mo-
ment the doctors head was put in
side the door.
"Hullo!" was his greeting, there
you are. Well, how are you getting
on?"
Ted said that he felt pretty WELL
"Glad to hear it" was the next
remark, as the maker Of it allowed
the rest of his body to follow his
head. "By the by, saw you in church
this morning. Sad spectacle-very!
Shall we be OFF,"
They left the cottage and made
their way in the direction of the sta
ton.
When they came in sight Of the line
they saw that there were still parties
of men at work, searching among the
heaps of rubbish for money or jewelry
or anything else that might have sur
vived the general ruin.

the next inquiry, accompanied by a

His visitor expressed approval OF
his surroundings, which certainly we're
we'll worthy of the appellation "snug"
bestowed upon them by their owner.
At the same time there was an air OF
compactness, of severe attention to
detail, which was suggestive of the
fact that the present occupant had, at
one time or other, been restricted in
the matter of elbow room.
Eyes, I'm pretty comfortable" the
doctor went on. 1--WE got very

chief fault is that she's so confound-

you? The fact is, she's in mortal
terror of my getting married."

my dear fellow, she's suspicious OF
everybody. She's jealous of every
woman, single or married, because
the single ones, being single, are open
to offers, while the married ones are
liable to lose their husbands at a mo-

be more to be feared than the others.
