Helen jumped to the top of the box
car underfoot.
Scrambling up from the deck she
ran to the end, hurried down the side
ladder and getting between the two
cars, she cut off the air and pulled the
pin.
The train torn abruptly in two, sep
arated the head end Jerking on toward
the Junction crossing, just ahead
while the hind end slowed down. Num-
Der Eight had already whistled for tho
junction and as the front end Of the
parted local dashed over the frogs, the.
heavy passenger train swept swiftly
across almost at right angles to it.
Fast as it went, it's observation car
barely cleared the hind end of the
local as this followed over the cross
ing in pursuit of it's severed head.
The local engineer, looking back
saw what had happened and applied
the air. AS he slowed down, the pas
sengers now awoke to what had hap
pened, turned out of the coaches and
ran forward. Helen fell fainting from
the side ladder; she lay unconscious
on the ground as the passengers
crowded up.
Seagrue, who had followed to the
Junction in his car, ran toward Helen
but as he approached, an arm shot
out before him as barrier. George
Storm whirled him half way around
and himself kneeling, lifted Helen
from the ground.

eyes slowly on her surroundings.
Helen-while Storm anxiously asked
if she was hurt and reproached her for
leaving him-gradually pulled her
senses together.

INJURED family. Who are all these
people? What has happened?'
At Storms elbow, while he tenderly
cared for and redoubled his efforts to
revive Helen, stood Spike, like q
watchdog. He kept the circle of pas
sengers from crowding in and when
Seagrue again attempted to interfere
Spike escorted him over to his ma
chine and invited him in such un-
mistakable terms to continue his jour-
ney that Seagrue thought best not to-
Returning hurriedly to the focus or
interest about Helen, Spike continued
to push the passengers back. When
Helen spoke to Storm again, as she
soon did, she was able to rise to her
feet and those passengers who re-
fused to leave the young couple to
themselves were hustled away by
Spike to give privacy to the little
scene being enacted between Helen.

She looked up into his eyes. Wheth-

into the pocket of his waistcoat and
drew out her ring. Before we start,

again to his throttle.
Half mile beyond where Helen and
Seagrue were now speeding, the rail-
road and the highway part company
abruptly and all hope of making the
engineer stop came to an end. AS the
train pulled away from the road, the
motor car was halted and Seagrue and
Helen got out. Helen felt keenly dis

and away they went on the new hope.
Aboard the train, no one had any
idea of the excitement outside. Storm
upset by the outcome of the day, was
talking with others in the coach and
so absorbed that he caught no sight
of Helen on the vanishing highway
But by pressing their car to the utmost
speed, she and Seagrue reached Bur

in aid of destitute Belgian lacemakers

North American.
II is virtual impossibility to de-
scribe the beauties of all the pieces
but there are some striking ones that
are worthy of description. For in

Droochel wedding veil II was made
for an aristocratic Belgian family The
Veil was made especially for one of
the grand danes of this Brussels fam
ily in 1900 and has been worn by every
bride in the family for more than a
century.
The center of the veil is of the finest
net. and the edges and corners hold
delicate designs sparingly arranged to
get the full beauty contrast of filmy
net and close lace work There is a
long story threaded In the mesh of this
veil. One would expect 1t to be prop
erly yellowed with age. but it just
shows tinge of creamy tint.

to 1850. is founce OF odd Flandre'.

most beautiful specimen and was evil
