Twelve Injured.
Kansas City, May l5.-It is believ-
ed none of the twelve persons injured
will die as a result of the wreck of
the Buffalo Colorado limited passen-
ger train, west bound, near Randolph,
Mo, six miles east of Kansas City
last y ,gh..
The train was one of the first to
be used i'll the combination Union Pa
cific and Wabash transeontinental
service just recently inaugurated 1t
crashed into the bridge spanning
what is known as Bush creek one
mile north of Randolph. The bridge
piers had been undermined by the re-
cent high waters and the fact that
the train was proceeding at such a
slow rate was all that prevented a
greater disaster.
The engine, baggage and mail cars
crashed into the bridge. The engine
was nearly clear of the trestle when
the structure gave way. The mail and
baggage car folded together and
hung suspended. The first coach was
thrown off the track and stopped the
others.
At the first creaking, Engineer w.
p Carlisle and Fireman Ira lies, Of

In the first coach eight passengers
were hurt and one hundred others

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
BRAVEST IN EARTHQUAKE

(Translation for the Detroit Times)

Women, particularly mothers, and
children made much better showing

that laid waste the garden OF Italy
The mothers seemed TO have no

sands, were crushed TO death shield

their parents bravery and unequalei
generosity, These mothers received
on their own backs, their heads and
shoulders the pieces OF masonry aud
beams about to- Kill those they loved
pest In the world And dying, they
had the happiness of clasping them 10
their bosom.
AT Last rations were distributed-a
piece OF bread no larger than the
palm OF ones hand for each starving
adult. Then we saw mothers OF babies
chew their own portion and stuff 1t in
the mouths OF babies for nourishment
without retaining a single crumb for
themselves.

throughout the ordeal than their

The thought filed her with
adherence, but there was
something about the man In his mis-
fortune that compelled her admira-
tion.
In addition TO this. there was her
conception OF wifely duty, her pride
OF race, that made her resolve TO stand
by the side OF the man whose servants
would desert him. But she still could
not believe that the move made by
Brachard had been impulsive.
1T is impossible. Jacques, that you

Anne Marie still wondered. She was
touched by the devotion OF the man
who wished 10 cling TO her after she
had apparently violated all the ethics
OF her social life, and when all the
world was ready TO rend him.
For the first time her heart warmed
TO Brachard. She was weary Of the
hypocrisy. the stupid prejudice of her
caste. She longed 10 throw herself
into his arms. TO find refuge there. But
she was still uncertain OF his love.
