Vcrney was generous, truthful, high

sho only could anpicciiite'. Hut bo was
only the engineer ot thu Mayllower, and
She was Miss DcVerney, the heiress.
Jiulgu then, if he was not her equal.
We have said that his eyes bad twice
looked into hers. She was' at tho depot
to meet some lriends, and remarked the
line ligiirc of the man as he stood on
the platform. Slio had thought, 'What
a giand loooking man he would be in
Koeiety,' and he had turned and looked
into her face; she had felt a great tin ill
at her heart, such as no other pair of
eyes had magnetism tei send there. Was
he not fur beneath bei? Away from citv

lie bad known by the lino sense that
discern souls that this woman was bis
mate, though ho had seen her onlv
twice. Miss DeVcrnoy bad known ft
in write, of smoke, and grime and thu iron
walls of society known that had be
been in her circle lie would have sini'led
her out from tho others and theifslic
would have ''.Sprung to him and known
he was her own, not a smaller boul.'
Miss UuVerney loved niiliiie. A line,
free element in her composition reached
out instinctively and assiiniilatcd tlic un
fettered, tho unconventional. She knew
no fear, and indeed in that peaceful lo
cality there, was eau-o for none,
Oiio day she wardered fuithcr than
usual. A strange confusion seized bel
aud she sound that she was lost. Sho
wandered around with growing alarm,
and, nt last, KiisjieetinK that she was
moving in a circle sat elowu on a fallen
log to collect her thoughts and lest her
weary limbs. How helpless slio felt.
All her wealth was unavailabhi in an
hour like this. The sun was declining
and the evening twilight advancing. She
felt tho drowsiness of exhaustion steal
ing over her, Sho had enough juvseneo
of iniiid to try to shako it oil' and keep
moving. Night closed in btailit and
beautiful. Kept up by thu forca of her
will hho staggcicd on until hlio tit last
struck an open space, liy tho light of
tho full moon, now risen, hho Haw a road
before her. She gained it, it was tho
railroad. Hut which way to got Slio
was Jierfeetly Ixwihlered,
'I shall not bu able to keep up much
longer,' sho thought,' looking along the
lengthy stretch of iron rails, 'and thero
fiio- no houses in sight. 1 shall liavu to
lit: down and die.'
Ilaikl what was that sound! A train
was iidvaticiug disliinl yd, but every
moment soiindiug iiiaicr in the liiish of
the dreaiy autumn night. It was I be
ttaiu that, leached Ahmoul at !) o'clock.
A feeling of terror superseded tho pas
sive slate of exhaustion. Shu was on a
section of the road that was bounded on
both sides by a steep embankment. If
she could only give some signal 1 She
realized tho awful death boforo her as
sho saw thu gleaming headlight in tho
distance, and sank down in a "dead faint
on thu track, her white wrap showing
conspicuously against the (talk ground
in the clear moonlight.
It was the headlight of the 'Mayllow
er,' and Chester Vaiihan's will was con
trolling the impatient, panting monster
that seemed determined to oveitake the
woman he loved witli swift destruction.
The orders were to run slowly around
the curve, and the speed was slacken
ing when Chester Vaughaii.on tho look
out, saw the white heap in thu path of
the engine where the road had the sharp
est curve. Instantly a shrill whistle gavo
the' signal to put on brakes, and the train
came, to a standstill just in time to save
a life. He was on the ground in a mo
ment, and there, not a foot from the
engine, with her pale faco showing in
like niaible in tho lurid light, lay the mo
tionless form of Miss DcVerney.
'liood heavens!' bo uttered, as he
raised her gently in his arms and carried
her into ono of the cars. 'A lady has
fainted on the track,' ho explained in
cool tones to tho excited crowd who
como pouting from the passenger car.
liven in that moment hu felt a secret
thrill of exultation that for once this irirl
was entirely dependent upon him that
she had lain a brief moment close to his
heait, when in sunshine sho would not
have allowed him to touch the tips of
her dainty white fingers.
'She has only fainted; she is reviving
now,' said a lady among the crowd who
stood about.
The application of water and smelling
salts restored consciousness, and, with a
long-drawn sigh, she slowly opened her
eyes to meet tho-o magnetic ones of
Chester Vaughn's, who stood opposite
watching her. i'-ven then ho had the
power to epiickeii all tho wheels of her
being, she looked in wonder.
'How came I here? Why, this is a
railway earl' She passed her hand slow
ly over her forehead. 'Oh, ves, I remem
ber; I was lost and wandered on the
track saw the terrible engine coming
and then all was dark.'
Sho closed her eves weakly, she was
so utterly eMiausteil.
'Do you live at Ashmoiitf' asked the
conductor.
'Yes, a quarter eif a mile from the de
pot, nt Mr. lirowning's.'
'Wo will bo there in a few minutes.'
lie said; 'trv to keen as well as vou can.
Again tho train was moving. The
passengers fell back into their seats,
She is a city ladv, said ono who
knew her face; 'rich they say, though I
cannot vouch lortlie truth ot it.
'She is very beautiful,' said the tren
'email addressed.
l'.ilua leaned against the cushions and
closed her eyes. Soon she aroused her
self and spoke to a kind-looking lady
who remained near her.
How did they stop the train in time
to save my life?
1 he engineer saw vou on tho curve;
ic's always on the lookout, you know.
and gavo tho signal at once to stop. He
carried you in his arms as gently as your
moiner migiii naveiione.
So Chester aiighn had cained her
in! Somehow she felt glad that ho had
bee n the one to save her, and then chid
ed herself with the thought, 'How fool
ish I um!'
In a few moments the train dided into
the depot. Kind straiiL'ers assisted Hd-
na into the ladies' room, and a mcssedi
,'cr was despatched for her uncle. The
;ood old people had been terribly
ilarnied at her continued absence, anil
had been sending aroiftid lnes-enirers in
very diiection. They both hastened to

He came at her quest. His tall, well-
proportioned fot m tilled the doorwav.and
then, with the ease of a well-bred' gen
tleman, he advanced hat in hand, and
stood before her. As she looked at him,

was Mary Townley, of Lancashire, and
1 iiai wnen sue leu her home in Kngland
she brought her mother's family Itihln

is thought that be left his P.ible ainnnir
bis effects. The ilible was printed somo

John Townley. of Lancashire. Kn.rlnnd'
She was born in 1727, and while vet u
young maiden she cloned with n mail
name-el Williams. Little is known of his
history, but it is probablu that ills fami
ly was of lower seicial standing than tho
Towuleys, inasmuch as tiic bitter oppo
sition eif tho latter to the luariiago of
Maiy and her lover led to tho elopement.
To e lude pursuit, when thev emit Km..
laud they assumed the name of Stevens.
-Mis. Stevens took her mother's fnmilv
liiblo with her, which contained a emu
