 Rumors of the disaster spread rapidly. Its full significance was realized when motor trucks, piled high with blanketed forms, rolled through the loop district to nnorgpes and undertaking establishments.

 Women and children by the hundreds caught and the scratched faces, torn clothing and bodies of the dead bore evidence to the despera ton with which they had fought for life.

Policeman Henry H. sesher, one of the first to go to the rescue. gave a vivid description of the accident
 t'I saw scores of men and women many of them holding children, plunged into the water. I jumped into a rowboat and pulled out to the drowning. I think I got about fifty ashore. The freboat and tugs hur- rfed to the scene and picked up more than a hundred people.

afternoon was fair, but the farm path
leading up to. the house was muddy.
From the porch, however, Pearl made
urgent gestures, apparently directing
the attention of Merrill to a package
on top of the letter box.
Merrill saw that It exactly re-
sembled the one he had delivered to
Miss Blake two days previous 1t
felt soft and fluffy and he decided
1t was some article of feminine adorn.
ment, lace collar. Sn embroidered
handkerchief, or the like. Merrill had
heard that the elder sister of Miss
Blake was about to be married. This
new parcel he theorized, might be
contribution to prospective linen
shower.
At all events he took 1t up, waved
1t at Pearl to indicate that he under.
stood. and his pulse heightened as she
vigorously bobbed her pretty head
and smiled radiantly.
At the last delivery point Merrill
had picked spray Of forget-me-nots.
He released the tiny thing Of beauty
from his buttonhole and placed II be-
tween two letters directed to Pearl.
Then he went on his way.
The next afternoon he sighted
Pearl again on the porch. He hoped
she would come to the road in person
for the mail. Merrill even waved the
letters intended for the house invit-
ingly.
But coy Pearl betrayed an inexpli-
cable shyness. She made a gesture
and half hid behind a post. On top
OF the mail box was fine bouquet of
red roses
'Ah, another errand to Miss Baker"
soliloquized Merrill, taking up the
pretty flowers. He raised them to in
hale their delicate perfume Then
his heart beat fast Was it fancy?
Could it be reality? Pearl had waited
him light kiss with lighter cooling
: laugh. and had flown into the house
as II hiding some conscious guilt in
breach Of decorum.
Miss Blake stared strangely at Mer.
rill as he handed her the bouquet.
: She looked at him as if misunder-
standing Then she smiled quietly,
but she took the flowers and thanked
him.
BY this time Merrill was head over
heels in love with Pearl. His heart
fiuttered as he hoped that she was in.
