LeVAY JUST LOOK AT‘ BOOOOOOONNX XXX XX XXX XXX ] THROUGH THE GAP By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART. _ The train wreck had taken fire. The first little leaping tongues, licking their way through shattered windows and chimney-like transoms, had given way to solid sheets of flame, dazzlingly white against the night, with sicken- ing red edges which dissolved into a dull, overhanging pall of smoke. On the bank beside the track, full in the glare, a man was sitting, his night clothing torn and dirty, with little scorched places here and there which told of the struggle he had made with death. Now and thep he ran his hand | ervously over his hair, which had been singed into queer, irregular tufts of yellowish browy. Hig eyebrows, too, were gone, adding to the strange- ' ness of the desperate eyes which were fixed upon the track. e A tralnman ran past, holding a bat- tered red lantern. He was hatless and coatless, and one arm hung limp be- side him. As he came abreast of the man on the bank he stopped suddenly, looking at the lantern with fear-haunt- ed eyes. Then he gave it a fling toward the flames. | “What's the use of a lantern in hell?” he muttered, catching at his broken arm with a gasp of pain. Then he became conscious of the man be- side him. “They’'ll blame it on me,” he babbled. “You see if they don't. I went clear back over the trestle, but that cursed fool on No. 46 wouldn't stop!” The man on the bank didn’t notice. He sat quite still, his unwavering eyes fixed on the spot down the track where a gap had been left by a car which had gone down the embankment. Shadowy flgures were running through now and then, sometimes with a bur- den, sometimes tottering alone. It was here, too, that the doctors from the rellef train were working, their coats off, in the blistering heat. Just below, peaceful in the midst of the inferno, were the sheeted dead. “I was clear back over the trestle,” reiterated the trainman, as if his statement had been questioned. “If you don't believe it, look at this arm. I fell through, I tell you, fell through!" His volce trailed weakly into a sob. “God, I wish it had killed me!” But the man on the bank never moved, never heard. The trainman went on, lurching like a drunken man, down the track. A volunteer fire com- pany was throwing a feeble, hissing stream into the midst of the fire with- out effect. A man, partly dressed, was coming along up the track. He passed the trainman with a glance and kept on, but abreast of the man on the bank he stopped suddenly and looked at him. It required a second glance to recognize the altered face; but, ap- parently satisfied, he touched him on the shoulder. The man on the bank shifted his eyes from the gap in the flames. “Hurt any?” asked the newcomer. He was a big man, in trousers and un- dershirt, one bare foot thrust into a low shoe, the other unprotected from the cinders. He sat down beside the other and looked at him closely, “Hurt any ?” he repeated, The man on the bank shook his head without speaking. “Any one with you?” other. This time the nod was affirmative. ! ‘The big man got up again heavily, “Who was it?" he asked. “I'll go and look.” Rut the other drew him down again with a convulsive gesture. “Don't go,” he said hoarsely. don't want to know.” For a minute there was silence. Then the big man raised his voice again, above the crackling of the flames. “Who was it?” “Wife and baby.” The volce was calm with the quiet of absolute hopelessness. But the big man tried to reassure him. “There's a crowd of people on the other side,” he said. “She may—they may—be there.” “That's it.” The man on the bank put up his hand to shield his face from the glare. “I'm afrald to find | they’re not. Who's that?” he asked suddenly as a woman emerged slowly ! into view, a man supporting her with his arm around her, “It's an old lady, I think,” said the big man. The other sank back again “I was knocked senseless,” he said with difficulty. “When I came around it was too late to—to do anything." Two more figures came through the gap, and a woman, rushing forward, wildly embraced the small, white-clad { figure of a boy, who held oat his arms The man on the bank groaned “I haven't the faintest hope, drearily, covering his ey you would watch th | I've 1ooked for so long anything now but dan fire.” | The big man affected cheer asked the b e § " he said “lI wish 1 while I can't see g specks of “They’'ll come, he | | eyes on the gap betv the “There's another old lady now, , man. There t be others wi the woman on that side, t | bandage on her head.” ! The other looked up, then covered his eyes again. Beside them, on the | track, a Pullman blanket lay smoking. The big man brought it over and threw it, toga-fashion, around his dis- ; traught companion, He looked up then, lwnly to cover his eyes again. “You'll know them,” he said, “it a g a | they come. Margaret was—is—tall | and straight, with great coils of brown halr, and the baby has yellow curls. My God!” he repeated, “those little yellow curls!” The big man stirred uneasily. “] have two children at home my- self,” he said a bit thickly. “Why have | been gaved?” went on the hopeless voice. “I've been a fool, and worse. Why, this very trip was flight, that's all. Flight!" He sat up and stared at a young woman who had come across the track and was sob- bing hysterically that she had lost her jewels. “I forged a man's name. We needed money, and I hoped to pay it back, of course. But it was flight or arrest” He paid no attention to | the other man, who was leaning on his | elbow, his eyes still flxed on the mo- | mentous gap. ‘I should have left them and gone alone,” went on the | dreary voice, “but Margaret wouldn’t allow it. I'd have gone to jail, for I deserved it; but there was the baby. How was Margaret to bring her up alone, and what would it be to have | her grow up to think of her father as a felon?” : * Down where the missing car had ! left a space a woman stepped suddenly into view. She had a man’s raincoat | thrown over her night-clothes, and in her arms she carried a golden-haired child. The man on the bank rose, first to his knees, then to his feet. “Margaret!” he cried, and his voice carried over the crackling and roar- ing of the fire. The woman turned toward him, and her face was radiant with joy. Left alone, the big man watched the trio for a moment. Then he took from his pocket a folded paper and glanced over it. It was an officer's warrant of arrest. He looked from it to the face of the woman down the track-—to the baby’s yellow curls; then he slowly tore it into bits and flung it into the flames.

You have often read that if you want to awaken at a certain hour i the morning you have only to impress your subconscious mind with that hour upon retiring and you will awaken at the appointed time without difficulty. Perhaps you have tried the experi-|; ment and been successful. I have discovered a way by which the method can be extended and made |* still more successful, William @. Towne writes in Nautilus. Supposing you want to remind your- self of something of importance that you need to do early on the following day. You might write it down and put the memorandum under your watch or fasten it to the pincushion on your dresser; but it is a bother to have to use a mechanical memory tickler for such a purpose. It is like crutches to walk with. What is your memory good for {f it needs lm]stor-] ing up constantly by this sort of ex- pedient? You can teach your memory better habits. Here is the way: Say to your sub- conscious mind at night, “When | am | - putting on my shoes in the morning [ | —-— using | » shall remember that I am to do so and 80,” describing the thing you wish to | recall to mind | By connecting your affirmation with a specific act like putting on your | shoes you give the mind a sort of peg; to hang the mental record on, and you | will find the results will be more posi- tive. Of course, you can if you wish, | substitute any other act connected | with the morning activities for (!mt‘ of putting on your shoes. The im- portant thing is to make your affirma- [ tion positive and specific by mnm-ct-‘ ing it with some act that you perform | every morning, | You see, you are making an ;\]vpninu" ment with your subconscioug mind to | meet you at a certain place with cer- tain reminders, and it is very neces- | sary that the meeting place should be | a familiar one and clearly understood It should stand out sharply in the Im: pression you give your subconscioug mind and then the recollection wiy] | be correspondingly sharp and clear, | The more familiar and common the act with which you hiteh up the nf; firmation the better, [ Clever Begging Letters, “Nowhere is the ingenuity of the present age more apparent than the begging letters receiveq by men,” was the remark of g [-nri\'utu secretary n “I have been reading letters of that kind by the hundred for the last 15 years.
