CHAPTER VI.-Continued.

"a dreadful railway accident has
taken place on the Southeastern rail-
way. A goods train from London to
Maidstone, which contained two wag-
ons loaded with petroleum barrels,
through some mistake in the signals,
ran into the 80 up train from Do
ver at the point where the lines cross.
The engine, tender, and three first
class carriages have been smashed up
and burnt by the petroleum. TWEEN
ty-three passengers are either dead or
dying"
The perspiration stood upon his
brow as he read this-this grim and
CHASTITY paragraph-over and over
again.
"How could | possibly let them see
this?" he groaned to himself. They
would go out of their minds with the
horror of it. And yet" the thought
struck him, what is to prevent them
from reading it all, and more beside.
in the morning papers? Though, OF
course, there is hope-there must be
a CLEAN of hope. Some must have
escaped! How slow this train is. And
yet, why should | want to travel fast
er? How do | know what awaits me
at my journeys end?'
When the train reached London
Bridge, little before ten, he found
all was hustle and confusion. The
news of the accident had spread like
wildflre, and momentarily increas-
Ing throng of agonized friends and
relatives besieged the officials, at
tackled the telegraph office and hurried
hither and thither, backwards and
forwards, in search of something def
mite in the shape of information.
Ted Burritt forced himself through
the crowd which was gathered round
some person in authority, and put
the same questions which burst from
SO many lips at once.
WAS anything more known about
the accident? When would the line
be clear, and when would train be
allowed to run to the scene of the
disaster?"

room, taking the paper with her.
After ALL though" she ventured to
hope, there have been some saved.
Why may not he be among them?
Surely Ted will send telegram soon.
Poor boy! | wonder what he is do
ing?"
A little later in the morning, when
Mrs Burritt was just being coaxed to
take little beef tea, the fateful
double knock once more re-echoed
through the house.
What's that?" cried Mrs. Burritt,
sitting bolt upright. Perhaps he's
come back safe after ALL Run, May,
and see."
The housemaid met her on the
stairs, bearing yellow envelope.
"The boy is waiting tc know if there
is any answer, miss" she said, and
fingered in the expectation of hearing
something of the contents.
The girl seized it and tore it
open!

been told that there were yet many
more bodies in the church, for which
room could not be found elsewhere.
and who, accompanied by a detach-

was a relief to find themselves again
in the open air, after the CHASTITY
sight that had just met their eyes.

that they were only exchanging one
such scene for another.

the young man-"one of those fearful,

and over again, and passed from

The first train to Bannock Bridge,

craved to know what might be the
fate of some of their nearest and dear
est, could do nothing but wait hour
after hour, every minute of which
seemed an age, and each separate
hour an eternity.
And so, at last, the hours wore
away, and very early in the morning
train started, bearing it's weary, bag
gard load of men and women, each
hoping that God had at least been
nerciful to him, or her, whoever else
He might have bereaved.
Ted Burritt sat in his corner of the
carriage, and let his thoughts wander
where they would. All at once the
thought occurred to him, What had
become of the friend? The friend
whom his father went to meet, and
who was to return with him? But
what did it matter about him? Why.
but for him, though the accident
would have taken place all the same,
1t would have had nothing to do with
that pleasant, peaceful home at Dull
witch!
BY the time he had recovered him
self little he saw that the day was
beginning to dawn. Surely they must
be very near the scene of the disas-
ter.
Even in the faint early light, which
was all they had to illumine the
scene, signs of the recent catastrophe
began to appear BY the side of the
line they saw drawn up some of the
ruined carriages. Another moment.

CHAPTER VII.
In the Vestry.

There was very little sleep for any
one at Magnolia Lodge that night.
Mrs. Burritt was at last persuaded to
90 and lie down upon her bed, where
she was ministered to by her daugh-
ter and the cook.
So in lamentations and torturing
suspense, together with brief intervals
of broken rest, the night wore away.
The servants, with scared faces, crept
about the house and prepared the
breakfast, which nobody touched.
May Burritt came down stairs about
eight O'Clock, and the first thing that
she saw was the daily paper lying in
it's accustomed place beside the urn.
"Ah!" she gasped, now to know
the worst"
The account she sought was as
signed the most prominent position.
