Recovering himself. he jumped from
his van and alighted on his feet, but
was struck by a fragment of some
his feet again, though suffering from
wounds in the head, hand an knee,
and saw sight the like of which he
had never seen before. With his keys
in his hand, he ran up and down the
line, hardly knowing what he was
doing AS soon as he began to get
his senses back, which had been pref
ty well knocked out of him.. he I'M
locked all the doors of the carriages
that he came to, though they were
already unlocked on one side. After
he had done all he could, he went and
sat down by the side of the line, for
he began to turn faint and dizzy.
While he sat there he saw a tall,
rather thin, elderly gentleman max
ing his way slowly towards him, who
limped little as he walked. AS this
latter came nearer he recognized him
as being the same individual who had
given him the tip, and told him to
keep anyone else from getting into
the carriage.
Witness noticed that his face was
CHASTITY, and that he breathed like a
man who had been running a race,
but naturally put it down to the ter
rible shock and the fright caused by
the accident. AS he came up to him,
he (the guard) spoke to him and
said. "Glad to see you're safe, sir!
hope the other gent is the same"
But he only stared at him in a queer.
dazed sort of way, without making
any answer, and passed on down the
line.
At last, after some debate. the YER
dict agreed upon was:
"Wilful murder against some person
or persons unknown"
Ted Burritt and his friend the doc
tor left the place together.
What will be your next step in
the matter?" asked the latter.
First, to take my fathers body
home-then to look for his muir

dedicated to the flowing bowl and the
promotion of social intercourse.

position, appearance and subsequent
removal to the vestry of the old
church, and his examination of the
Misunderstanding in the discovery
Of a wound, with two orifices, showing
that the bullet which had caused it
had traversed the head completely.
Other scientific evidence followed,
which is suppressed.
Mr.. Edward Burritt was then called.
and went through the form of identi-
tying the deceased as his father, Mr.
Silas Burritt, merchant, of Timber
Lane, City, aged so. He entirely mega

stating that his father, to his certain
knowledge, had not only never pos
sessed anything in the shape of fire.

gentleman who had been shot as the

He both could and would; except
that there had been a sort of a smile
on his face then and he looked very
different now. In fact, he had struck
him (the guard)-in spite of the tip
which the other party gave him--as
being by far the agreeabler and most
pleasant-spoken gentleman of the two
and he had been most uncommon sor-
ry that he had, on recognizing the
body, because, you see, he had quite
made up his mind that he had es-

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That 0r.Wiliiams' Pink PiIisl

Digestive OrQans.

Loss Of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, n feeling of utter
Meakness--these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary DOCTORS
treatment serves but to weaken the dis

The new tonic method of treating dis

work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
MP the weakened organs, so that they can
do the work that nature intended.

arms, but had always been remark
able for an unusual amount of nerv-
BUSINESS, almost amounting to horror,
with regard to anything of the kind, in
consequence of an accident, with
tragical termination, which he had
once witnessed. DR.. jeremiah Cart
wright, recalled at this juncture, here
stated his firm conviction that the
wound had not been self-infilcted,
which he proceeded to prove, to his
own satisfaction and the entire be-
wilderment of everybody else present.,
by the aid of great many polysylla-
bic expressions and torrent OF pro-
fessional phraseology, which swept
everyone off their feet, but which, on
being filtered down for the benefit OF
the unlearned, merely amounted TO
the following facts. viz, that the edges
of the wound, by which the bullet had
made it's entrance, were torn and
lacerated, as well as blackened and
burnt by the action of the gunpow-
der. that the skin in the vicinity OF
the wound was blistered, the bleeding
slight, and chiefly from the orifice OF
exit, and the two openings in the
scalp nearly opposite each other
DR.. Cartwright, having brought his
evidence to a conclusion, now gave
place to another witness, and one in
whose power 1t might be to help to
unravel the mystery. This last was
the guard of the 4;3o train-an in
telligent looking man, who, with q
bandage round his head and one arm
in a sling, bore tokens of the injuries
he had received in jumping from the
train while it was in motion.
On being questioned as to what he
knew of the matter, he replied, with
out any hesitation, that he remem-
bered the fourth carriage from the
engine we'll, and the passengers that
1t contained in that particular COM
partment
was he sure that there was more
than one passenger in that compart-
ment of the carriage referred to-"
Sure and certain he was. There
were two of them. He could swear
to II. Didn't one of them, the taller
Of the two, tip him handsome to lock
them In so that they might have the
carriage to themselves for the jour
ney?"
"And did you lock them in, and are
quite sure that they were both to
gether in the carriage when the train
started?"
Certain sure he was. He see then
both together in the compartment as
the train passed him, Just before ht
swung himself into his van"
