Aboard the liner the last gooGbys
were being said. Some of the more
cautious among the home stayers had
already gathered at the end of the
G. to wave farewells cut short on
one deck through the fear of being
carried off, and others were trooping
down the gangplank.
Now and then a couple of cabin
stewards rushed up the gangway bear
ing the steamer trunks and parcels of
some belated arrival, and from the
pier the sharp exhaust of the donkey
engines punctuated the farewells as
the busy drums coiled and uncoied
the ropes by which the last of the hold
luggage was being rushed to the cav
ernous depths OF the huge ship.
Busy little tugs pulled about the end
of the pier to assist in turning the
huge bulk of the steamer, and man
in rowboat padded about the stern
to be on hand in case of an accident.
To Nella Wynn the scene was decid-
edly novel. Only the day before she
had arrived in New York from her
inland home for the purpose of sem
barking, and for the first time she had
realized what a steamer really was
Now she could scarcely believe that
presently this great black vessel would
slip down the bay and SO out to the
broad ocean beyond the sight of land
For time she was absorbed in watch
ing the crowds, but the very presence
of this crush of humanity presently
began to weigh upon her spirits.
1t had been hard to raise the funds
to send her abroad. so none of the
family had been able to accompany
her to New York. She had no ac-
quaintances in the city, and she was
absolutely alone in this mob of leave
takers. There was no one to stand on
the edge of the pier and wave farewell
no one to give her a friendly farewell
kiss. She was even more alone than
the little crowd Of returning emigrants
huddled on the lower deck forward.
Back in Cressyile it had seemed a
great thing to be going to Paris to

sure that if he asked her now she
would gladly abandon her career and
go back to Crossville with him. but
Harry was with the rest of the dear

who was lying asleep across the
track near Reuters mill, midway
OF his body, almost scvcriug it and
killing him instantly.
1t appears that he and some other
young men had been canning beer
and drinking near the saloon close
to the Flat River station Of the H.
linois southern. About ten O'Clock
he and young friend nomed Joe
NARROW started home and sat down
on the track AT the dirt road cross
ing near Reuters mill and fell
asleep. When the special came
along and slowed up at the crossing,
NARROW got up in dazed, sleepy
condition just before the train
passed. After the train passed he
took hold Of Harry Rapp's leg and
said "Get up, Harry, let's go
home,' when he discovered that
Rapp had been run over by the train
and killed. NARROW went home. sat
down on the side Of his bed with his
clothes on andfellasleep withouttcll-
ing anyone about the affair.
AT the coroner's inquest the next
day lac said he was with young
Rapp, but didn't remember anything
about how he was killed. The inquest
was adjourned over to Tuesday
morning, and on Monday he told his
father tn" story related above, and
testified to the same before the cor
oner on Tuesday. He said he had
told the first story about not rcmem-
bcring anything of the circumstan-
ccs for fear that he would be ne
cuscd of being IN some way respon-
sible for his friend Rapp's death.
