CHAPTER VI Continued.
"A dreadful railway accident ban
taken place on thn Southeastern rail
way. A goods train from Ixindon to
Maidstone, which contained two wng
ons loaded with petroleum burrols,
through some mistake In tho signals,
ran Into tho I: CD up irnln from Ho
ver, at tho (mint wheie tho lines cioss.
Tho engine, tender, and three first
class carriages have been furnished up
and burnt by tho petroleum. Twenty-three
pnssengoiH are either dead or
dying."
The persplrntlon stood upon his
brow as he read this this grim and
ghnstly paragraph- over and over
again.
"How could I possibly let them neo
this?" ho groaned to himself. "They
would go out of their minds with thn
horror of it. And yet," the thought
struck him, "what Is to prevent them
from rending it all, and moro beside.
In tho morning papers? Though, ef
course, thero is hope thero must bo
a gler.m of hope! Home must have
escaped! How slow this train Is. Ami
yet, why should I want to travel fast
er? How do I know what awaits me
nt my journey's end?"
When the train renehed London
Hrldgo, n littlo before ten. he found
nil was bustle and confusion. Tho
news of tho accident hud jmroad like
wlldllre, mid n momentarily Increas
ing throng of agonized friends and
rolatlvoa besieged tho tifflclals, at
tacked tho telegraph ofllco and hurried
hither and thither, backwards and
forwards, In seurch' of something defi
nite In tho shupc of Information.
Ted Hurrltt forcod himself through
tho crowd which was gn'hcred round
some person In authority, and put
tho same questions which burst from
so many lips nt once.
"Was anything moro known about
tho accident? When would the lino
bo clear, and when would n train be
nllowcd to run to tho scene of the
disaster?"
"What's that7
And tho answers, repealed over
and over again, and passed from
mouth to mouth, wero:
"No further details of the accident
hud bean ascertained, nnd no names
of tho victims had yet been published,
as tho telegraph lines had been brok

run as soon us tho lino was clear, and
that could not bo for somo hours long

craved to know whnt might bo the
fnto of some of their nearest nnd denr
est, could do nothing but wait, hour
after hour, every minute of which
seemed nn age, nnd each separate
hour an eternity.
And so, ut last, tho hours wore
nvay, and very early In tho morning
a train stuited, bearing Its weary, hag
gard load of men nnd women, each
hoping that God hud at least been
merciful to him, or her, whoever else
He might have bereaved.
Ted Hurrltt sat In his corner of the
carriage, and let his thoughts wander
where they would. All at onco the
thought occurred to him, What had
become of tho friend? Thu friend
whom his father wont to meet, and
who was to return with him? Hut
what did it mutter about him? Why.

would hnve taken place all the same,

lino they saw drawn up somo of tho
ruined carriages. Another moment,
nnd tho train drow up nt the pictur
esque little country station, which
had now been eonvorted into n tem
porary dead-house. Tho mournful,
wild-eyed cavalcade, which alighted
at tho platform, were met by tho stn
tloninnstor, who merely motioned with
his arm, and said, "In there."
Tho whole crowd, with ono accord,
poured In tho direction Indicated.
A dreadful sight met thoir eyes. In
tho waiting room nnd booking ofllco
n dozen chnrrod remnants' of humuii
beings wero laid out on tarpaulins

Ted Hurrltt approached and looked
down upon one; then staggered and
nearly fell.
"Are these nl.?" ho nsked, in n
dreadful whisper. Tho mnn who wns
In charge of this ghnstly detnehment
answered, briefly. "Thero be a heap

CHAPTER VII.
In the Vestry.
Thero wns very littlo sleep for any
one at Mngnollu Lodge that night.
Mrs. Hurrltt was nt Inst persuaded to
go nuil Ho down upon her bed, where
she wns ministered to by her daugh
ter and tho cook.
Ho in lamentations mid torturing
suspense, together with brief intervals
of broken rest, tho night wore awuy.
The servantH, with scurod fnecs, crept
about the house and prepared tho
brenkfast, which nobody touched.
May Hurrltt enmo down stairs about
eight o'clock, and the llrst thing that
she i:;iw was the dully paper lying in
Its accustomed place beside tho urn.
"Ah!" she gasped, "now to know
tho worst!"
Tho uceount she sought was un
signed the most prominent position,
and wns headed in large capitals,
'Terrible Huilwny Accident! Thirty
two lives lost! Numbers ronsted to
death!"
She read the brief paragraph, into
which so much horror was condensed,
nnd stood as though turned to stone
Then coming bank to herself, she mur
mured: "Mother must never see this,
It would kill her!" And she left tho
room, taking tho paper with her.
"After all, though," she ventured to
hope, "there have been somo saved.
Why may not ho bo among them?
Surely Ted will send a telegram soon.
Poor boy! I wonder whnt ho Is do
ing?" A Utile later In the morning, when
Run, May, and see!"
Mrs. Huiritt wns just being coaxed to
take a littlo beef tea, thoj fateful
double knock onco moro re-ooliocd
through tho house. "
"What's that?" cried Mrs. Hurrltt,
sitting bolt upright. Perhaps bo's

nnd sec."
The housemaid mot her on the
stairs, bearing a yellow , envelope.
"Tho hoy Is waiting to know IT thero
is any answer, miss," she said, and
lingered in tho expectation of hearing
something of tho contents.
Tho girl seized It and toro it
open !
To loturn to her brother, who had
been told that there wore yet many
moro bodies in tho church, for which
room could not be found elsowhero,
and who, accompanied by a- detach
ment of other seekers, thereupon left
the stntlon for tho sacred edifice. It
was a relief to find themselves ngalu
in tho open air. after the ghnstly
sight that had just met their eyes.
tint theie was horror In the thought
that they wero only exchunglug ono
such scene for another.
"Could ho hnve been ono of those?"
was the awful thought which pursued
tho young man "one of those fearful,
indescribable objects! And was It
such n thing as thnl thut ho must
take homo with him, if It should provo
by nny means possible to soparato tho
idontity of tho one tioin tho other?"
Ho camo In sight of tho church,
which was not far from tho station.
Arriving nt tho porch, tho foremost of
tho purty discovered that tho door
was locked. Hero wns a sudden check
and thoy begun to consult together ns
to where tho key might bo found.
As they did so, a window of ono of
the littlo cottages opposite tho church
wan thrown up, and an old man, in a
quaint, old fashioned nightcap, stuck
his head out.
"I bo a-comin'," ho cried; "yo must
Jest bldo a bit, and I'll bo with 'ce."
This was evidently tho clerk or sox
ton; at any rate, ho was tho individual
required, and th;ru wus nothing to
do but to "bide," as ho had desired
them.
At last tho churchyard gato clicked,
and a shriveled, bent figure made Its
appearance, dangling a bunch of great
koys in ono hand. Ho threw tho great
door open with n clung, and tho peoplo
entered tho church. It was very dark
Inside Tho windows wero most of
them of colored glass and high up, and
tho old fashioned paws nnd tho thick
squat columns which supported tho
roof Fcomcd to swallow up whut littlo
light there was.
"They've put 'cm all Inside the chan
cel rails," said the old man, who had
constituted himself a no:,! of ghoulish
Minster of the ceremonies.
No ono seemed to caro to he the
first to approach thnt part of tho holy
edlllco.
At Inst Ted Hurrltt, with a grim
determination, approached tho railing.
Inside, tho bodies, or what had once
been bodies, were disposed In two
rows,
Those on the right hand lay In cof
fins which had been hastily gathered
from nil pnrts of tho neighborhood;
thoso on tho loft were moro groups
of nshos collected together on pieces
of turpuulln.
Ted Hurrltt began at tho rlght-hnnd
side. Tho other peoplo followed his
example, and tho old clerk ncted ns
cicerone.
"This 'un." he suld, indicating the
terrlblo contents of ono coffin, "is sup
posed to n-bln n young femule, as
they found n thlmblo nnd a bit of a
dress nmong tho ashes. Thlmblo 'ad
tho nnme o' 'Lizzie' scratched on It."
A mnn who yn craning his neck
over Ted Hurrltt'.i shoulder gave a
sharp cry: "That's my girl! That's
my Lizzie! And her mother waiting
for her at home, and won't believe as
anything can have happened to her
Oh, Lord!" nnd ho broke out Into wild
outcries.
Somo of the others, forgetful of
their own concerns for a momont,
gathered round him and made an at
tempt nt consolation.
"At lenst you know which she Is
that ought to be n little comfort to
you."
"Hut I thought she might have been
saved. She was such a good girl
and look at her there!" and ho gestic
ulated towards tho open coffin.
"I can't stand much moro of this,"
murmured Ted Ilurrltt, as ho wiped
tho great drops of perspiration from
his forohend.
They left tho borenved parent moan
ing over his child's remains and ngaln
pnssed on. Tho next thrco coffins
were oxnmlued, shuddered at and left.
Tho mutilated corpses which they con
tained possessed neither bond, feet
nor hnnds. They could never havo
been taken for anything human had
not tho fact been established beyond
nil doubt. Was either of thoso his
father?"
Thero ouly remained ono or two
moro belonging to that row, and they,
too, wero unrecognizable. After that
nothing was left but the poor heaps of
ashen on the other side
''rjhls Is all, ladles and gentlemen,"
snhi the old man, with a sort of charnel-house
cheerfulness, " 'sides ono

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN HAIR.

Wearing fnlso hair Is a very wide
spread custom. In the language of
tho tradesman, hair grown on tho
heads or northern nations is tho most

fineness aad glo3s nnd its color. Ger
many and Sweden provide the most
valuablo hnlr, especially If It bo
