make the carriage quite dark.
When he had arranged the cover to

grinned. "And the accident is that you

8he abandoned the attempt then and
set herself as resolutely as she could
to face the death that seemed Inevita

Twice again he leaned his head out of
the window as If to see exactly where
they were, but now he did not rise from

Once he glanced ddwn under the seat

shape In her thoughts, and she sat
thinking It over and over. In sheer des.
peratlon. There was Just the faintest
chance that It might succeed, nnd the
thought nerved her and gave her cour
age.
She was watching hla every move
ment, and when at length the train
whistled on approaching the tunnel, she
saw him think a moment, glance across
the carriage and rlee as If to go to that
aide.
But he paused and looked out of the
window close to Olive.
She looked out and saw that the train
was running on the middle line of rails,
and that there was another set of rails
for the ordinary traffic.
At the train dashed Into the tunnel
he unfastened the door and thrust It
open.
As It swung open Olive recoiled In

quicken.
Tearing the cover from the lamp, he
gave a last look around the compart
ment, opened the door on the further
side, stepped down on, to the foot
board, paused there a moment to close
the door after him, and then dropped
on to the rolls juet before the train ran
into the daylight.
With a feeling of Intense thankful
ness Olive scrambled out from under
the seat, and fell back on the cushions,
almost fainting from the strain of the
terrible experience.
She had been very near death, she
knew, nnd for some minutes she could
do nothing but seek to still her beat
ing heart and recover her dazed wits.
Now that the danger waa over and
her life safe, her nerves threatened to
fall her altogether. Hhe seemed to see
the man's coarse face staring Into here;
to feet the touch of his vile, menacing
grip and to hear the brutal words In
which he had threatened her with that
cruel death.
She could scarcely persuade herself
that she was really safe, and rushed
to the window to assure herself that
he whs not still waiting to return and
renew Ills desperate efforts.
Then she looked all round the car
riage, and even under the teats In an
almost hysterical desire to be sure he
was not lurking there. And In doing
that she made a discovery.
The paper which he had thrown un
der the seat was lying In a corner and
she took It out and unfolded It.
At the first glance she started so
violently that the paper almost flut
tered out of her grasp.
To her utter amazement the writing
closely resembled her own: and the
signature was hers—"Olive Fermen
ter.”
The blood ruahed to her heart as she
saw this, and when she read what 1
written ehe uttered a cry of the d<
eat bewilderment. A great light br
In upon her as to the full sinister
meaning of this attempt upon her life.

IMPORTANT FEATURES
TJie reaaon for thin grand free distribution is simply to advertise the Kimball Piano. Tha
W. W. Kimball Co., the largest manufacturers of pianos in the world, desiring to impress the
name, ‘'Kimball,” indelibly upon tbe minds of all who may now or at some future time need a
piano, makes this great offer.
It is the custom these days with many manufacturers to spend large turns yearly in ex
pensive magazine advertising. The Kimball Co. prefer to advertise their pianos in a* more direct
way, going straight to the people, through their dealers and offering these prises. The adver
tising results are thus obtained for the Kimball piano and the people benefit to the extent of
thousands of dollars. The W. W. Kimball Co. was one of the first to establish the one-price system.
Kimball pianos are sold the world over at a uniform price. They arc always marked in plain
figures at their lowest selling prioe. Purchasers of Kimball pianos alwaya have the aasuranee that
they get value received, their- dollar going just as far as any other’s. They are also aaenred
of a genuine reduction to the fall amount their certificates may call for. Kimball pianos
are sold on the easy payment plan if so desired.

When the filet almost breathless
feeling of horror subsided and Olive
had regained her self-command she
was able to extract some degree of
comfort from her discovery.
It was clear that the attack upon

ry attempt at robbery. He must In
some way have learned of her Inten
tion to go to Sheffield—there had been
no secret made of the fact. Indeed—
nnd he had Instigated this ruffians
work.
But why should he be so afraid of
any results of her Journey? Why was
he so nnxlous for her death? There
wns only one nnswer. Ho wan con
scious that her Journey might result In
her discovering something which would
reveal the truth and thus destroy the
conspiracy by which her father's name
had been blackened and she heraelf so
wronged and robbed.
Thus the feeling of horror at her nar.
row escape soon gave way to one of
exultation and greater confidence. She
had escaped the cunning scheme !slJ
for her deatructlon, had gained a start
ling confirmation of her own Instinc
tive gqess, and had received a warning
she would never forgot.
She had paid a heavy price for this,
hut now that the peril was passed she
had no regrets.
Hir plight waa nevertheless serious.
AII her money wa. gone and everything
which was of any value. Worst lose ot
all, moreover, wus that ot a half doaen

assist her In her task.
Her dress was badly torn, her hat
damaged beyond repair, and slio herself
bruised mid hurt as the result of her
assailant’s violence. 8he did what she
could to make herself presentable, but
she presented a sorry figure as the
train ran Into the Sheffield station, and
she called to an official and Immediate,
ly reported what had occurred.
To her amazement her story was not
believed, and she was subjected to a
rough and ready cross-examination at
the hands of a stupid official, whose
chief anxiety appeared to be to throw
discredit on her word In order to hush
the matter up In the Interests of the
company.
"Why didn’t you have the train stop
ped?" he asked.
"I tried to. I pulled tho cord of com.
munlcution, but no notice was taken."
"That's nonsense," was the rough
retort. "Ask the guard and the engine
driver,” he ndded to another man.
But tho train had been allowed to
proceed on its journey, and they had,
of course, gone en *.vith It.
