ust have been beneath it at the moment of the fall.Knight leapt up and began endeavouring to remove the rubbish with his hands. The heap overlying the body was for the most part fine and dusty but in immense quantity. It would be a saving of time to run for assistance. He crossed to the churchyard wall and hastened down the hill.A little way down an intersecting road passed over a small ridge which now showed up darkly against the moon and this road here formed a kind of notch in the sky-line. At the moment that Knight arrived at the crossing he beheld a man on this eminence coming towards him. Knight turned aside and met the stranger.'There has been an accident at the church' said Knight without preface. 'The tower has fallen on somebody who has been lying there ever since. Will you come and help?''That I will' said the man.'It is a woman' said Knight as they hurried back 'and I think we two are enough to extricate her. Do you know of a shovel?''The grave-digging shovels are about somewhere. They used to stay in the tower.''And there must be some belonging to the workmen.'They searched about and in an angle of the porch found three carefully stowed away. Going round to the west end Knight signified the spot of the tragedy.'We ought to have brought a lantern' he exclaimed. 'But we may be able to do without.'

And I think the best way to do it would be thus if you don't mind joining hands with me.''Not in the least; I am glad to assist.'Making a kind of cradle by clasping their hands crosswise under the inanimate woman they lifted her and walked on side by side down a path indicated by the stranger who appeared to know the locality well.'I had been sitting in the church for nearly an hour' Knight resumed when they were out of the churchyard. 'Afterwards I walked round to the site of the fallen tower and so found her,toms navy cardones youth 2.5. It is painful to think I unconsciously wasted so much time in the very presence of a perishing flying soul.''The tower fell at dusk did it not,cheap new black glitter toms? quite two hours ago I think?''Yes. She must have been there alone. What could have been her object in visiting the churchyard then?'It is
