"We're about twelve i iinte''late, and I don't think we shall fathom this business even if we stay together all night." "You might as well go on," return- ed the station -master. "I'11 do my best in this matter." "Then good night, geutlemen," said the guard, "or rather morning, for it's gone twelve. Do you, sir," he asked, looking at the passenger, "do you go North, or is this your destination?" "1 don't go nay further tonight," said the passenger. "I've only booked to Braynor." 'I thought, sir," observed the €card, "that y=ou were to leave us at Morn- ington. "'Then you thought wrongly," sneer- ed the passenger. "I booked to Bray - nor." "Beg pardon; my mistake," said the guard, and with a swift look at the sta- tion -master he left the room. A moment afterwards the 9.15 glid- ed past the platform. "This is an extraordinary business,," said Mr. Cotton, stroking his beard and Iooking intently at his companion. "It Made Me Creep" "It is—and mightily unpleasant, too," said the passenger, candidly. "Even if I'd booked further North, I couldn't go a mile in that train af- ter the shock I've received. But why," he demanded, "did you let the guard go away in such a loose fashion, after what I've said? You didn't even ask him for an explanation." "The guard's all right, he's always within reach when he's wanted," an- swered the station -master. "That .may be, said the passenger, significantly. "Let's hope he will." "Don't distress yourself on that point," continued ]\Ir. Cotton. "Now, will you -take a chair, and give ne' fuller particulars of what you saw and heard during the earlier part of the journey?" "Thes'e's been so much confusion that I haven't had a chance of telling :n straight -forward tale," said the pass- enger. "'"But now we're alone, and as qat: :. es the grave.

You can't rub out Uric Acus, you must rinse it out. Fynnon Salt is au Ideal internal rinse. A half teaspoonful in water makes a pleasant, non -fizzy saline, laden with Sodium, Potassium, Lithium and other remedial elements that gently rinse the system of the clogging deposits formed by Uric Add, It is these deposits that setup those agonizing twinges of penetrating Pain that rack the body and sear the soul. They'll soon go when you have cleaned the system with Fynnon Salt for a few successive mornings. There's nothing drastic about Fynnon Salt, nothing harsh or harmful. Its effect is similar to lvlineral Spa water with this important advantage, that a half teaspoon- ful of Fynnon Salt in a glass of water is equal in medicinal value to three glasses of Spa Water.

"No, no! let that alone!" exclaimed the passenger. "This story for the present is for you alone. Don't open the door." "The place is stifling," answered the station -master, "and no one can hear." "I tell you someone will, Ile will!" •cried the passenger, leaping from. his chair and putting his hands upon the station -master's sho::lder. "Who will?" asked Cotton, turning sharply round. "He!" shouted the passenger. "Ile, I tell you." So terror-stricken did he seen, so overpowered with the picture his im- agination painted—whatever it was— that the station -master, stout-heax't- ed as he was, shuddered as he seized the door again and flung it open. Terror -Stricken By Memory "There!" he cried, "say what you have to say with the door open to the free air of heaven, or leave it. If I kept it closed any longer I should suffocate." The station -master with a trembling and dashed the rest of the water from a bottle on the table and drank it. "Let me, too, drink," said the pass- enger. Without saying a word Cotton push- ed the bottle towards him and the tumbler with it. The passenger took a deep draught, and dashed the rest o the water from the glass upon his forehead. "Ah," he said, in calmer tones, "how that cools one! How it pacifies the brain; how it sets the heart at rest, and drives away the pictures that are only fit for hell!" Cotton began to feel really uncom- fortable. "I've met some queer folks," he muttered; "but this beats all. What in the world does it mean? Mr. Bel- don, calm yourself," he said, speaking aloud. "Pray compose your thoughts, and go on with your story. Who's the plan you meant just now?" A Scream of Terror "Who could it be but the man who clambered along the footboard?" said the passenger. "Now let ere go on," he continued hurriedly, "I saw him only for a moment.

Within a min- ute I heard a cry --not for help, but as if the soul of a maul went out of him in one long scream of terror!" The passenger paused, and looked at Cotton before he added, "It carte from the corridor carriage! You follow me, station -plaster?" "Yes. go on," answered the official; "I don't miss a word, a tone, a look, or a movement of your body—go on and tell it all. You fascinate me." "I would have cried aloud," contin- ued the passenger, "but terror tied my tongue." "Couldn't you pull the communica- tion cold anti stop the train?" asked the •Station -master. "I couldn't move. My limbs were like my tongue." "How long was all this before you reached Mornington?" "At least forty minutes," replied the passenger. "And couldn't yoti, either during that time or when you stopped at Mornington, discover what had caused the cry?" asked the station -master. "No," said the passenger; "my senses left me, and I remembered nothing till we were nearly at Bray - nor." "All that you speak of happened be- tween London and Mornington?" "That is so." "I want yon to be specially careful, Mr. Beldon, and to answer •ine fairly and honestly. You understand the gravity of all you are saying, and know what it points to?", "I do indeed. I appreciate its im- portance to the very utmost," •said the traveller earnestly.
