Gilpin observer., 1917-02-01

who, dismayed to find herself mixed
up with Payne, had delayed her de-
parture for the Paso del Norte with
the packet and locket pending further
developments. Nor did Bertha know
that the girl, to marry whom Major
Brent sought to silence her, occupied
the drawing room in the coach ahead.
Otherwise in her agitated frame of
mind she might have gone and told
her everything about the major. She
spent most of the night studying time
tables and wondering what secret the
packet in her travelling case contained,
Pearl sat alone in her unmade berth
until very late hour, unable to re-
strain natural curiosity concerning
the import Of the message she carried
from the president to the disgraced ex-
officer.
She was in sense glad for the
train ride for it gave her an oppor-
tunity to relax. She found herself
taking passing interest in scenes and
incidents noticeable from the car win
dow. Her mind began to grow slug
gish and her eyes to droop and she
was on the point Of calling the vesti-
bule porter to prepare her bed.
Then to the swiftly-speeding "iyer"
came series Of terrific shocks, hurl-
ing her to the floor just as the lights
went out and the car began to pitch
and roll.
A portion of the top berth fell bare
ly missing where she half lay, half
frnn
world seemed to stand still, she heard
the crash of glass, steel demolishing
steel, an explosion or two and an out
burst Of human cries. A little later
she climbed out of the debris of her
coach and leaped unharmed to the
railroad tracks below.
Below her appalled, gaze lay the
gnarled, twisted and telescoped ruins
of the luxurious train. Fires were
breaking out and in the rising steam
she caught glimpses of disfigured dead,
dying and wounded travellers and part
ly clad people running about wildly.
She realized that she was in the
midst Of frightful railroad catas-
trophe.
Immediately she thought of both
Payne and Toxic and began a frantic
search for the former, blindly follow
ing the lead of trainmen with Ian
terms.
A thunderstorm which had been pre-
vailing now ceased, but the night re-
mained inky black, illumined only by
the confiagration of the wreck. After
a fruitless hour the bodies Of first one
and then the other of Payne's guards
were found lying fully cars length
apart. At this point Pearl discovered
a woman seated on some broken
Gilpin observer., 1917-02-01

trucks. Her clothing was torn; her
hair was streaming; and she was act
ing queerly. In one hand she held
something taken out of small trav-
cling case. Pearl saw her stuff it into
the bosom of her shirtwaist and
caught the CLEAN of gold locket
dangling at her neck.
1t was Bertha Bonn. Pearl won
dered where she had seen this person
before.
Then in the avalanche of junk be-
hind the woman, Pearl, n man with a
lantern hitherto unnoticed, and Toxic,
who suddenly appeared from some
where, simultaneously saw n huddled-
up form in army clothes. Pearl ut
tered a little cry. Toxic muttered
something unintelligible. The woman
rose and following their stares, stified
choking sound. Pearl, drawing near
to the still figure seeing in 1t the only
too familiar outlines, gave n little
shudder.
The stranger with the lantern stern
ly waved her back, but too late. In
the fitful light she observed hideous-
ly crushed and unrecognizable bearded
face.
She stopped trembling and examined
the mans clothing, jerking slip of
paper from the coat pocket.
Her eyes filed, for the penciled
scrawl she read with the lanterns aid
was In the unmistakeable handwriting
of Ralph Payne. And its signature
was genuine.
TO MY EXECUTORS:
I die innocent of the crime of which
have been made the Victim OF others un-
known to me. 1 leave my entire fortune
| to Pearl Dare rs sole trustee, to use In
unearthing tho criminals for whose dis
covery and punishment make my last
prayer.
A solemn silence fell upon the
tragic scene.
"Too latew breathed the stricken
girl. Her eyes met Toko's for the first
time. Hes dead!"
II have already telephone Colonel
Dare to come for you," he said gently.

Indigo In Southern India.

A primitive but effective method of
obtaining indigo in southern India is
practiced by the natives. The plant is
tightly packed the day it Is cut, in a
large vat. into which water is run, and
boards are then placed over the top
and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours, during
which time heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid is then drained off
into another vat, after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole is then allowed
to settle; the clear liquid is drained
off. and the residue is boiled in COPPER
vessels. 1t is then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market.

to investigate.
AT that moment Adams recovered
consciousness and staggered to his
feet, watching her go. There was
something half humorous, half pathet-
ic and altogether mystifying in his
demeanor. He grimaced Mt the corpse
and broke into mirthless laughter,
Struggling his shoulders. Then hear
ing noises, he stiffened. A couple of
men carrying II stretcher appeared.
They had come for Payne's remains.
Adams strobe away.
Temporary shelter had been provid-
ed for the wreck survivors In n track
gangs cabin, for the nearest habita-
tion was several miles to the north.
Hlther Adams proceeded gazing into
the sleeping silence of the countryside
as he walked wrapped in impenetrable
thoughts.
