looked at each other In startled ques-

all, darkness; blackness so intense
that it seemed almost palpable to the
touchl
There was a single shrek, and a
nervous laugh verging on hysteria.
The shrek was from Arly, and the
laugh from Lucille. There was a cry
from the forward end of the car as of
someone in pain. A mans yell of
fright; Gregory the general man
ager. A strong hand clutched Calls
in the darkness, firm, reassuring. The

Allison, crisp, harsh, commanding.

He and the engineer made their
way back into the parlor compart-

motor well in the floor, and in a few
minutes they replaced it. From the
sounds they seemed remarkably
clumsy.

Allison. THE next thing is to dig"

engineer.

Gail felt the rector's hand suddenly

refuse heaps. While preparing for the
construction of the present church and

the northernmost of the two smaller
arches was found intact. adjoining the
large one. Several feet below the pres.

made of large thick stone slabs well
laid was uncovered. Ten years later.

sewer, more of this pavement was
brought to light.
