CHAPTER XII—continued.
Out In the open, where the sun
p*Ued the electric lights of the car
into sickly yellow, up Into the air,
peering into third-story tenements and
«lown narrow alleys, aflutter with
•countless flapping pieces uf laundry
Work, then suddenly into the darkness
of the tunnel again, then out, on the
surface of country fields, and dreary
■winter landscape, to the terminal It
"was more cozy in the tunnel, and they
returned there for lunch.
Suddenly there catne a dull, muffled
report, like the distant firing of a
cannon; then an interval of silence,
an Infinitesimal one, in which the car
ran smoothly on, and, half rising, they
Rooked at each other In startled ques
tioning. Then, all at once, came a
stupendous roar, as if the world had
split asunder, a jolting and perking, a
headlong stoppage, a clattering, and
slapping and crashing and grinding,
deafening In Its volume, and with it
a.11, darkness; blackness so inteuse
that it seemed almost palpable to the
touch!
There was a single shriek, and a
nervous laugh verging on hysteria.
The shriek was from Arly. and the
laugh from Lucile. There was a cry
from the forward end of the car. as of
someone in pain. A man's yell of
fright; Greggory the general man-
ager. A strong hand clutched Call's
in the darkness, firm, reassuring. The
rector.
"Don't move!" It was the voice of
Allison, crisp, harsh, commanding
"Anybody hurt?" Tim Corman, the
voice of age, but otherwise steady
"It's me," called Tom, the motor-
man. "Head cut a little, arm bruised.
Nothing bad."
"Gail?" Allison again.
"Yes." Clear voiced, with the cour-
age which has no sex.
"Mrs. Teasdale? Mrs. Fosland?
Ted? Doctor Boyd?" and so through
the list. Everybody safe.
"It is an accidental blast," said the
TOice of Allison. He had figured that
a concise statement of just what had
happened might expedite organiza-
tion. "We are below the Farmount
ridge, over a hundred feet deep, and
the tube has caved in on us. There
must be no waste of exertion. Don't
move until I find what electrical dan-
gers there are."
A match flared up. and showeu the
pale face of the engineer bending
over.
"No matches," ordered Allison. "We
may need the oxygen."
He and the engineer made their
way back into the parlor compart
ment. They took up the door of the
motor well in the floor, and in a few-
minutes they replaced it. From the
sounds they seemed . remarkably
clumsy.
"That much is lucky," commented
Allison. "The next thing Is to dig "
hi ivy stones and the like, then they
w ere silent, working independently, or
in effective unison.
Tim Corman was the possessor of a
phosphorescent-faced watch, with 2-
jewels on the Inside and a ruby on
the winding stem, and he constituted
himself timekeeper.
"Thirty minutes," be called out. "Its
our shift."
The men crawled In from outside,
but they stayed in the front compart-
ment. The air was growing a trifle
close, and they breathed heavily.
"Good-by, girl," called the gayly fu-
nereal voice of Ted Teasdale. "Hus-
band is going to work."
Another interminable wait, while
the air grew more stilling. There was
no further levity after Lincoln and the
motorman and McCarthy had come
back; for the condition was becoming
serious Some air must undoubtedly
be finding its way to the car through
the loose debris, but the carbonic acid
gas exhaled from a dozen pairs of
lungs was beginning to pocket, and
the opening ahead, though steadily
pushing forward, displayed no signs
of lessening solidity.
They established shorter shifts now;
a quarter of an hour. The men came
silently in and out, and as silently
worked, and as silently rested, while
the girls carried that heavy burden of
women's hardest labor; waiting!
Greggory was the first to give out.
then the injured motorman. When
their turns came, they had not the
strength nor the air in their lung*.
Strong McCarthy was the next to join
them.
The shifts had reduced to two. of
two men each, by now; Ted and old
Tim. and Allison and the rector; and
these latter two worked double time.
Their lips and their tongues were
parched and cracking, and In their
periods of rest they sat motlonlessly
facing each other, with a wheeze In
the drawing of their breath Their
stentorian breathing could be heard
from the forward end of ihelr little
tunnel clear back Into the car. where
the three girls were battling to pre-
serve their senses against the poison-
ous gases which were now all that
they had to breathe. Acting on the
rector's advice, they had stood up in
the car to escape the gradually rising
level of the carbonic gas, stood, as the
time progressed, with their mouths
agape and their breasts heaving and
sharp pains in their lungs at every
breath. Arly dropped, silently crum-
pling to the floor; then, a few minutes
later, Lucile, and. panic-stricken by
the thought that they had gone under.
Gail felt her own senses reeling, when
suddenly, looking ahead through eyes
which were staring, she saw a crack
of blessed light!
There was a hoarse cry from ahead!
The crack of light widened. Another
one appeared, some four feet to the
right of It. and Gail already fancied
that she could feel a freshening of the
air she breathed with such tearing
pain. Against the light of the open-
ings, two figures, the only two which
were left to work, strove, at first with
the slow, limp motions of exhaustion,
and then with the renewed vigor of
approaching triumph. She could dls
tinguish them clearly noW, by the
light which streamed In, the stocky,
strong figure of Allison and the tall,
sinewy figure of the rector. They were
working frantically. Allison with his
the doctor there wmi nothing tb« nut-
ter with her, they brought, at her ur
gent request, copies of the "extras,
which were already being yelled from
every street corner and down every
quiet residence block.
The accounts were, In the main
more or less accurate, barring the fact
that they started with the assumption
that there had been one hundred In
Allison's party, all killed Later Is-
sues, however, regretfully reduced the
number of dead to forty, six, and
finally none, at which point they be-
came more or less coherent, and gave
an exact list of the people who were
there, the cause of the accident, and
a most appreciatively accentuated his-
tory of the heroic work of the men
Although she regretted that her pic-
ture had by this time crept Into
public prints, grouped with the
ders and defalcations of the day, nil
was able to overlook this personal
discomfort as one of the minor pen-
alties which civilization has paid for
its progress, like electric light bugs
and electric fan ueuralgla. and the
smell of gnsollno.
In the meantime, the representa
[ tlves of the gay and care-free and ab
solutely uncurbed metropolitan press
were by no means dlscotiragt d by til*
fact that they had not been able to
secure much, except hectic Imaginings
from the exterior of the Sargent
house. They were busy In every other
possible direction, with the same com
mendable persistence which we ob-
serve In an ant to drag a grasshopper

Littie Miss Piper of the Morning
Planet, a somewhat withered and
puckered little woman, who had sense
enough to dress so as to excite noth-
ing but pity, quietly slipped on her
ugly little bonnet with the funny rib-
bon bow in the back, and hurried out
to the magnificent residence of Mrs.
Phyllis Worthinore. who loathed pub
licity and had photographs taken once
a month for the purpose.
The result of that light-hearted and
light-headed interview, in which Mrs
Phyllis Worthinore. by special request
was not quoted, suddenly sprang ou
the startled fyes of Gall, when she
leaped through tl e Sunday Morning
Planet at eight o'clock next morning
An entire page, embellished In the
center with a beautifully printed pho
tograph. was devoted to the sensa
tlonal beauty from the middle West!
Around her were grouped nine
smaller photographs: Allison. Dick
Kodley, Willis Cunningham, Houston
Van Ploon, Kev. Smith Boyd, a sallow
youth who bad danced with her three
times, a count who had said "How do
you do?" and sailed for Europe, and
two men whom she had never met.
All these crack eligibles were classi-
fied under the general head of "Slaves
to Her Witching Smile." and a big
boxed-lu list waB given, in extremely
black faced type, stating, in dollars
and cents, the exact value In the mat-
rimonial market of each slave; and
the lively genius who had put together
this symposium, by a towerlngly happy 1
thought conceived In the very height |
of the rush hours, totaled the whole
and gave it as the coinmerstnl worth j
of Gail's beauty and charm. It ran
into thirteen figures. Including the dol-
lar mark and the two ciphers for
Aunt Helen, "will you be kind enough
to see if anyona ts out in front?"
"Certainly," agreed Jim, wondering
why his wife's sister was suddenly so
severe with him.
"It's time to start," coiled Ted with
practiced wisdom allowing ten nilu
utes for good bys. parting Instructions
and forgotten messages.
The adieus werJ said. Aunt Grace,
clasping Gail In her arms, began to
sob, out of a full heart and a general
need for the exercise. Gerald Fosland
took the hand of his wife and kissed
It. in most gallant fashion.
