Otherwise in her agitated frame Of

her everything about the major. She
spent most of the night studying time

Pearl sat alone in her unmadc berth

went out and the car began 10 pitch

world seemed 10 stand still, she heard
the crash Of glass, steel demolishing
steel, an explosion or two and an out

she climbed out Of the debris Of her
coach and leaped unframed to the
railroad tracks below.
Below her appalled, gaze lay the
gnarled. twisted and ~telescoped ruins
Of the luxurious train. Fires were
breaking ou and in the rising steam
she caught glimpses of d~isfigured dead,
dying and wounded travellers aud part
~ clad people running about wildly.
She realized that she was in the
midst of a 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 trajnmen with Ian
terms.
A thunderstorm which had been pre-
vailing now ceased, but the night re-
manned inky black. illumined only by
the confiagration Of the wreck. After
a fruitless hour the bodies Of first one
