happened.> She sat down on the arm OF Flor

against the touch of her. And yet she was
beautiful How could any one so beautiful be
wicked?
Well, it began like this" said Florence;
AMI she described her adventures, emitting, to
be sure. Braine's part in it.
She had reached that part where they had
been rescued by Capt. Bannock when thun-
dering, grinding crash struck the words from
her lips. The three Of them were flung vio-
lently to the side of the car amid splintering
wood tnkling glass, and the shrek of steel

died away as the car careened over on its side
The three were rendered unconscious and were
huddled together the floor, under the up
rooted chairs.
yroon had escaped with only slight cut on
the hand from flying glass. He climbed over
the chairs and passengers with a single object
in view. He saw that all three he was inter
ested In were insensible He quickly examined
them and saw that they had not received seri
Gus injuries. He had but little time. The
princess and Norton would have to take their
chance with the other passengers. Resolutely
he stopped and lifted Florence in his arms and
crawled out of the car with her. 1t was q
difficult task, but he managed 1t. Outside, in
the confusion, no paid any attention to
him. So he threw the unconscious girl over

quite obliyious to the peculiar interest they
aroused among the other passengers. This

soiled jersey; this beautiful young girl, IN
a wrinkled homespun, her glorious blonde
hair awry; and the way they looked ut each
other during those lulls in conversatio Pc

the other passengers with the idea that
something very unusual had happened TO
these two.
The Pullman conductor was not especially
polite; but money was money, and the stock

conductor paid them no more attention than

happened to cast an idle glance, and he saw

eye.
