In the evening It Was taken out through the back door, sent to a train of freight cars standing in the yard of the Nashville and Chat tanooga railroad: and stowed away un der the coal In the locomotive's tender. There were but half a dozen cars, and these were empty. , Tin! Snfllvan, no enlisted mai in the th Ohio infantry and a "Toeemotive -engineer who bad been running on the road since the capture of the country and knetv the track well, was to carry me through. Hff was recommended as perfectly re liable, and as I did" not care to trust any one else with the secret 1 doffed my unlform.- put on a pair of overalls and acted as fireman. . r . ,; When we pulled out of the Nash ville station the locomotive headlight showed several men standing together beside the track watching our. depar ture; " Sulllvnn looked at me, and when I asked him if anything Was wrong he replied, , "Dunne.".'-' The truth was he suspected our secret was out. I felt Very uncomfortable and wished my su periors naa not sent me without a guard. ' - i . A week s rain had ceased and left a Clear sky, a bright moonlight night, so that we could see almost as well as in daytime. We had no sooner left the outskirts of Nashville than Sullivan hut on enough 'steam to rnn nt forty miles an hour big time for n southern railroad, lu those days, especially through a Jiostlle country. We lld not meet au- obstacle or a suspicious cir cumstance tin we had. ' passed . more thnn half our journey, when we began to go down grade for several miles, with the prospect of having to do ns much up grade ufter reaching bottom. We had mndo about a uillo of the de cline when a tirakeman ohonled: i". ' I ''There's a train behind, comln.' like llshtntn'."-. - i. V: ' "now do you knowT' asked Tim. "Seen it in the moonllglU."'

And before, - we could say "Jack Robluson" we were tchrlug down the grade at sixty miles an hour. We hadn't far to go, but the question Wfts whether the toco motive would stick lo the rails. She swayed and pitched and . shuddered and shook like a ship In a gale. .We hot over a bridge and out where -we could look behind, and' there v9 the cursed trniu coming like the wind. ' "How far to the switch?" I asked. " 'Bout two mile and a lialf." "Will we reach it in time?" "Dunno." .. , , f . ,We were now on a straight track and could see the twitch light at the little station at the foot of the grade and the moonlight gleaming on the rails straight as a pair of arrow for miles. "What's that standing vn the track near the top of the grade?" I asked. ' Tim put his bead away out of the cab window and looked. When be took It In, bis face was as white as the auow. He said tn a hoarse whisper: I "it Isn't stnndiu' on tb track. It's comln' for as. - - - . "Great heaven! What doea R mean a trniu behind, another in front?" "Soma one's bound to smash us up. There's no engine on either trntn They're caught us in this scooped out country and give us the choice of beta' crushed from behind or In front.' f'But wemay reach the switch la time to avoid both." "Whoever's dou this Job baa been smart enough to lock the switch so that no crowbar will open It. We're done for" ' ' - ! Just then above the rattle Jhere was sound behind ns as If a hill had toppled over, and, looking backward We could see tons of mnd and sioues souring over the ra!la. lu about minute there was a crash, and the comma freight ran were" piled in heap at the landslide.'

I Tim reversed his engine as he siioke and whistled down brakes. We came to a slop within a quarter of a mile of the bottom. The train coinlnu I: front dashed past the statlou and.
