The speaker bent aver the lifeless form as be uttered these words, and tried. ono more to pour a little stionelaut be- tween the pallid lips. The scene Was one of indeseribable coniosion. A col- lision bad eceurred between the Chester - nam express and a geode train, just A short distance from Chesterton:It dame. tion. Five of the carriages were wreck- ed. Fortunately three were empty; tend the other two conteinea ouly three pas- ihhIne—a, man, 'olio, with his arm bound. up, wits already starting to walk to the town; a boy, badly cut about the head, leaning pale and faint pertion of the broken woodwork; ann, lastly, a. woman, wbo lay metionless on the bank, n tlilek shawl spread between her and the cold damp earth, On die - coveter she had been removed from the debris, laid on the bank, and forgotten in the excitement and. terror. The rest nf the paasengere had euatained only a severe shaking aucl bruises; and loud. were their grumblings andexpressions of self -sympathy as they clutitered to- gether on the bank, shivering in the gray autumn mist. A. doctor who had been summoned from Chesterham ran hie eye over the aiteembled people, strap- ped up the boys head, and skilfolly set the broken arm of the man, It was white doing this that his glance fell on the prostrate fame lying on the grass; and the sight of the pale, bloodless face immediately brought a frown to his brow, "What is the matter there?" h,e asked anamingporter. i "Lady n a faint. sir," The doctor fastened, the last bandage, and with hurried •stepa approached the woman. A crowd followed him, .and gathered round so closely, as to •cause hint to request them to -` stand back." His eyelets produced the desired effect, and the by-standers moved away and watched with breathless interest his fraitless efforts to restore animation. The frown darkened on the (lector's brow; there was something more than an ordinary faint here. He raised the woman's head for another trial, and the mass of red -gold hair already loosened fell in gloriouswaves round the beau- tiful pale face, bringing a murmur of admiration from the beholders. The sud- den action caused one limp cold hand to fall egaittet the doctor's warm one, and at the contact he shuddered, He raised the heavily fringed eyelids, gave one look, then gently laid the wornan's head down again,And reverently -eovered her face with his handkerchief. "I cando nothing," he said tersely, as if speaking to himself; "she is dead!" The crowd back involuntarily; some hid their faces, while others gazed at the slight form in its dark brown dress ne if they doubted the truth of his state - moot. Suddenly, while the doctor stood thoughtfully drawing on his gloves, one of the porters appeared in the crowd. Ile held a child in his arms—sucha pret- ty child—with hair that matched the red -gold masses of the lifeless form on the bank, eyes that shone like sapphire stars from beneath the curling lashes,. and a skin of.. cream white, with no warmth of color in the face save that of the small red lips. She was dressed in a little gray coat, all vovered now with dust; in her tiny hands she clasped. a niece of broken woodwork, holding it as thought it .were treasure, and she gtanced round. at the by-standers with an air of childieh piquancy and assur- awe." "Whose child is this?" inquired the porter, lookinge from one to another. There Was a pause; no one spoke, no one owned her. The porter's honest faee grew troubled. "Where does she come from?" Asked the doetor quickly. "We have just picked her from under the roof of a seeond class carriage," the porter explained, "We were turning it over—you see, sir, it fell sonic (listance from the- rot of the carriage' —and when we lifted it we found this mite a -singing to herself and nursing 'her dolly, as she calls this piece of tvood.

A lady in the crowa here stepped fen ward, "Give- her to me," she said, kindly. 'Perhaps she was trovellieg alone; if SO, that will be explained no doubt by a letter or something."

'inc device used is none otber than the famil- iar stereopticon—with slides that point a moral as well as adorn a tale. The idea has long been in practise in the schools of Balthnore, and, according to Superintendent Nan Oickle, has been ex- tended during four years to the entire United States. 150,000 boys and gide in schools and churehes have seen these illustrated lessons in morals. The Plea sets of slides that have been used thus far are entitled, "Gentlemen," -Personal and National Thrift," "The True Sports- niana' "What 2 Am Going to.
