The rescue party, at work by lantern

For this reason, II Is not now expected
that any of the men buried in the big
heap Of debris win be removed alive.
All those taken out still living were
rescued Immediately after the crash
last evening. For those now buried I'M

held out.
During the morning the rescurers sue

Half Of the fourteen injured who were
taken from the debris Immediately after

THE RUNAWAY PLACE
CHARMING NEW BOOK

Tho same charm which makes Barrie's
Little White Bird a delight for grown
up children fills the pages OF a new book
by Walter P Eaton and Elise ". Tn

~ Holt & Co.
The Runaway Place is Central Park
in New York, where a youth and &
maid meet By chance and play together
in the May sunshine. One seems to be
always waiting for Peter Pan and con-
fdently expects the BrushWood Boy.
But this youth and this maid have all
the wisdom of Peter Pan, of wood and
field. and summer breeze. and much
more beside. They have lived in ths
world that knows books and music and
Rodin. But they must runaway out OF
humdrum work and everyday living TO
ind themselves and each other and
touch hands W.Sh their dream people.
Exquisite huulCr creeps into the story
-idyIl that IL is OF summer days. There
is pathos and gentle philosophy. There
are pictures of peaceful sunsets and
stirring moonlights-all done by grace
fui craftsmanship. Here are two work
ers familiar with their tools. One may
find restful happiness II he can shake
off a few score years or less or more
and follow them past the Sherman
