THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE By Frances Walter. r~_~" I AM HURT IN A WRECK AND AM CALLED A HEROINE, (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure an Bn Syndicate) I was awakened by a crash which hurled me, first with sickening force against the foot of my berth and then dashed me headlong in the op- | Dosite direction. Flashes of light | were followed by darkness, and the dull, sickening pain in my head at| times rendered me almost uncon- | scious. | Then I heard the terrible grinding | of the cars as they left the track followed by the crash of wood and | steel as the various sleepers toppled and were rent asunder. There fol- lowed a period of deathlike silence. Then the shout of a man and the noise of hurrying without was suc- ceeded, first by shrill eries for help | and then the low moans of the in- Jured and dying. Suddenly, above all other noises, came the shrill ery of "Fire!" I put out my hand and endeavor- ed to rise, but sank back exhausted. A mass of timber of metal extended immediately over me, leaving me only sufficient room to lie flat on my back. With the ery of fire wounding in my ears I felt that a! horrible end awaited me, yet, strange | to say, my thoughts were not for! myself alone. I found my mind | dwelling chiefly upon poor Mariam | Howard, 1 wondered if she, too, was imprisoned, or if the shock of the | wreck had snapped the slender thread of her life, The pain in my head became so! intense that I soon ceased to think coherently and drifted off into un- consciousness. | When 1 opened my eyes I was lying on the ground wrapped in a heavy garment. At first my mind | was too confused to realize what had happened, but gradually it all came |. back to me. How had I escaped | death? As if to answer my. query, | a hand stole to my face and rested | on my cheek. Painfully I turned! my face and, in the gloom I saw a | swathed figure beside me, By the] flickering light of the burning | coaches I recognized Mariam, and feebly asked her if she was unhurt, | how she later had discovered that I Before ghe could reply, two towering | breathed, and of the h forms approached and lifted Mariam | homely remedies she and me bddily, and carried us to an | storing me. automobile, After a brief ride we "N she said, "I were Again lifted out and, hurried {$100 by bringing you bs into' what appeared to bé/a farm- 1 was too weak to as house.
