it?a slender ybting girl, wrapped itt+a
gray blanket-shawl, nnd wearing a neat

She seemed to hesitate, like one unused
to travelling, and fiuully sat dowu near
the (l ior.
"1'ardott inc. ^tiling lady," said I, "Int
you had bfcttt> coftie nearer tothe stove."
She started, hesitated an instant, nnd
then obeyed.
"Does this train goto Hayswater?"
she asked in a voice so dcliciously soft

me.
"Yes; ?an I be of any scrvico to

"Oh, no?at learf Mol uh'Ul we reach

"We shr.ll not'be there yet these three

"Do we stop ngatn ?"
"Only at Einmuth."
She drew a doep sigh, fttcrf/'rigly of
relief, and settled bach ?ff a tfomor. By
tite ligftl of the lamp that hung in its
brass ft 41 tiro opposite, I could see her
face, that of a lovely child. Apparently
she was no more (ban sixteen, with large
blue eyes, golden hair, brushed smoothly
back from her face, nnd a little rosy
niohth, like that of d baby.
"Da you expect friends to meet yon

So tho express train thundered on.
with steady, fca'clcss pulsing at its iron
heart, and constant roar.
Suddenly the signal whistlo sounded,
the train begarj to slacken its Lpced.
"Surely wo are not at Kxuiouth yet,"
I thought "dHkttt, 1 have fallen uucorf

' The detective ? lie sits by the door

I I Atuikd ; I could hardly help it.
"What is the case V
two i1wju CillMirvii-iuCti tniD?tn Clit,
last night, and the tto?sc set on lire af

'?Greet heavens ! what a monster !"
?
Wo had continued the conversation
throug':JUt in a whisper, scarcely above
our breath; and itow thb* 'j'or/dt/Mor rose
and left tue to study tfie flfds of ihy fel
low passengers with curious dread and
horror.
Somehow, often as I revolved the
matter in my mind, my fancy would set
tle on a coarse, groas-loukiug man oppo
i -sito, with n bushy beard and a shaggy
I oat, with the collar turned up around
his ears. I felt convinced that this man
with the heavy hanging juw was the
?alii \ and as I h*Vd RfrfclvWy across I
caught the wide open blue orbs of the
fair little girl.
Obeying tho instantaneous impulse of
my heart, I arose and went over to her.
''You heard what wo were *-tying, uiy
child r
K' Yei?a trrtnlcr?oh, how horrible!
"De not be frightened?no otic shall
btfft you."
Shu smiled up in my face with sweet
conGding innocence.
Our stay tit Exuiouth was bnt grief;
but during the delay, I could see that
the watchful detective had changed his
r.oat for one nearer Lho brinish man in
the shaggy coat.
' Sec," faltered the toting girl, "they
Itfcked tire car doors at iCxiUputh ; thov
are unlocking them now.".
She was right.
"Probably they were fearlul that the
crimiual would escape," I remarked in
an undertone.
-Will you?muy I tnublu you to
bring mo a glass of wrter ?''
I roso and made my way towards the
ice cooler by the door, but with difficulty,
for the train' was again under rapid mo
tion. To my disappoint tricot, the tin
gob'ut was chained tn the shelf.
"No matter,-" said she with u winning
smile, "I will ouinu myself."
I drew the water und held up the cup;
but instead of taking it as she appro
aohed, sho hi u-bed suddenly past mo,
opened the duvr, and rushed out upou
tho platform.
"Stop her, step fror I" shouted the
detective, springing to his left; she W?H
be killed; conductor, brakouma, hold up!
There was a rush, u tumult, a bustle.
I was first upon tho platform ; but it was
empty and deserted, save by a half dosed
brakcrben, who seemed horror-stricken.
"Shu wont past me liko a shadow, and
jumped off as we crossed Cairu turnpike
road," he starttrmeTCV>
"?Jumped off the express train. Well,"'
said tbo conductor, shrugging his should
era, "?he must have been killed instantly.
What mad lolly!"
'?It ia five houdc^d dollars out ofmy
pocket," said the detective ruefully, ''''l .
uid?'t want n row before re got t? I5:r
water, but I wo? ? confounded foul. A
WDuititi cornered will do anything, 1
believe.'
44What?" t ejaculated, "you erireVjrdo

"I mean," .said the detective <
liiV.ai L'tlsid, as yoU call her, is Ali flu
Burton, a married, woman tw.mty-six
years of age, who last night murdered
four persons in oold , blood, and was
trying to escape tu Canada. That's v. ha'
1 mean."
The traiu was stopped, and a partyof
us, beaded .by the cdnddctof and the
detective, wedt budtt trt search for nuy
trace- of the beiutiful. creature, whose
loveliness ami nppar*ut innorciico had
appealed to my sympathies. Nor was it

'?Well; she's escaped jilatiec in this

detective gloomily, as ha stood looking
down upon the remains.
