The av pirkiiiekers called to each

Amid tin1 din and rhitler (lie waleh

Mi lue 'prang on his engine, threw

this hesitancy lessened, and its speed
increased.
I-'asler and faster it rame dow u on
the long tmin, vt lioe engine, like a
thing of life, struggled and stialned
to bear it out of danger.
The astonished passenger, when lb"
train so suddenly started off, woinlered
what was the matter. Sumo pulled
th8 bellcord, Sutne shuii'"'!: "Sop!
Stop! The conductor, the boys me

Some weic dumb Willi fright, while
others yelled and screamed, cursed and
prayed. "It is almost upon us! Lord,

They were now rnniiinir at fright
ful speed. The heavy train, jeiking
from side to side along the rond.
seemed like n fugitive. Hoeing for il.
life. Faster, faster, ever faster, they
ran, but nearer, nearer, ever nearer,
eiime the runaway engine.
The fr.ghlened passengers now be
gnu to leap from the windows, or
jn.i p from the platform. They flew
like bulls thcu-li the air, nod went
whirling down the embankments
that is, the men did.
The woinetl never bit Iged. Some
fwooned, sumo jrayed, fume threw
themselves about their male compan

them.
These hiipless wretches sat, so ne'
weak with fright, some swore, some
wept, and some burst from the de
taining grasp of their female com
panions, and jumped oil', as hit al

The drummer did llii-. lb' east otl
