“So you muat really leave ub," the
cripple naked me.
“Yea, I muat. I have to be at Mnr-
eellles on Monday, ao I have to take the
10:80 expreaa from the Oare de Lyons
tonight. It la a good train, aa you. of
courae, muat know, alnre you used to
work for the road before your acci
dent.”
He shut hla eyea, turned very pale
and said with deep emotion: "Oh, yea,
I do know It—Indeed I do.” The tear,
were running down hla cheeka.
Aa I did not know how to account for
hla emotion, I put If auwn to love of the
career from which on unfortunate ac
cident rut him nit, nnd feeling that 1
muat aay aomethlng, I aatd: . “Yea, rail,
reading la a very charming occupa
tion.
He trembled visibly and shook hla
head violently; "Oh. no, air, do not
aay that. It la terrible, and I shudder
to think of all I have seen while I was
on the road, you do not know me very
well and will probably think I am n
little off. but please do not take that
train. Take any other, but not the
10:80.” '
But why,” I asked with a amlle, ‘'are
you superstitious?"
I nm not superstitious. I am almply
the engineer who waa In the cab of
train No. 17 on the day oh the great
accident on July 24, 1394, and aa long
aa \ live i shall never forget that day
of horror,.
”\Ve left Lyons oil time and had been
keeplnr schedule time for about two
hours. Ii waa terribly hot; even If
{you put your head .-outside the cab the
air seemed sultry and sliding.
"Suddenly It became pitch dark; not
a star nor the moon waa to be seen,
and then the storm broke out. I never
In my life saw such lightning. The very
sky seemed to be torn asunder, and
between the flashes the darkness
seemed as solid as a wall.
‘"It la going to rain In a second,' I
remember 1 said to my fireman.
"’Yea, and a good thing It will be,’
he replied. Tor It feels like the second
story In hell as It la now. We must
look sharp for signals now.’ r
"The thunder waa now so loud that
I could not even hear the nolee of the
engine aa It sped along.
"It did not rain yet. but the etorm
came closer and I felt a strange feel
ing of terror creeping over me unlike
anything r ever experienced before.
"Then with a pent of thunder which
made the heavy engine tremble and
rock like a ship In storm a bolt of
lightning struck the track not a hun
dred /neters ahead of us. Blinded
and stunned. I fell, to the floor of the
cab. .
"I must have been unconscious for
several seconds and when I came to
again I felt aa If same one had hit me
with a sandbag In the back of the
head. 1 was lying with my head
against the side of the cab and It was
to me ai If I came back from a trip of
a hundred miles. I tried to get up, but
could not. My legs were like para
lysed. and I thought they were broken.
I tried to lift myself with my arms,
but could not even lift them, though
I did not feel any pain anywhere. I
could not even open my eyes.
"We were still speeding ahead sixty
miles an hour, but the storm was dv-
’—: out and It w-aS mining hard.
Realizing the dinger of the situa
tion, I called my fireman, but no an
swer came.
I called mil longer, 'Francois. Fran
cois, help me!' >
"Stilt no answer. I was non- horri
fied. The feeling of terror, though I
did not know what I was afraid of.
was so strong that It gave me physical
piercing scream, when t discovered that
Francois had disappeared, and that I
was alone In the cab.
"I now realized what had happened.
The lightning hnd struck the engine
and killed my fireman, who had fallen
ut of the cab—and I was paralyzed.
”1 can not find words to describe my
feelings. I know thot soldiers In battle
see the cbmrades fall all around and
still keep on fighting, but they know
where the bullets come rroin. while my
comrade had been stricken down at my
side, and had disappeared suddenly and
entirely unexpected.
"Another thought now arose In my
mind. Behind me In the care more
than two hundred passengers were
sleeping or talking without any idea
of their danger; two hundred people
were being hurled through space to
ward certain death, trusting In a man
who waa now paralysed and unable to
lift his arm.
"My brain waa now perfectly clear. I
saw the familiar objects along the line,
and from where 1 lay I could see the
track two hundred yarda ahead by the
light of the moon, for the sky was again
perfectly clear. With lightning speed
we rushed past a small station, but In
spite of the speed I got a glimpse of
the station master asleep, with hla hand
on the key of his telegraph Instrument.
"Then we thundered Into the tunnel.
The track was clear, but ahead of us
was a sharp curve, where 1 knew It
waa necessary to slacken the speed. 1
thought we were lost, that the Jar
would tear the rails from the ties, but,
though tho train rolled and pitched as
we struck the curve,, tho Lord did not
want us to perish then and we passed
without accident.
"I breathed more freely. In a little
while the steam would give out and,
the train would atop. Tl\t Iwakemuu
would come running up, I would tell
him and we would be safe.
"Again we passed n station, and with
horror I noticed that there waa a red
light agftlnat us. The track was no
longer clear. That I did not go Insane
then Is a miracle. Only one thought
waa In my mind: ‘If you do not stop
the train now there will be a collision.
All that Is necessary Is to shut olf the
steam and.put on the airbrakes. The
levers are only three feet away, but
you can not reuch them. You can not
move a finger, but must remain where
you are. You muat .witness the whole
terrible drama, see the train ahead,
see It grow larger and larger until you
crash Into It.’
‘1 wanted to close my eyes, but cpuld
not. A power stronger thnn my will
forced me to took ahead. Now-1 saw
the train.
"It caine nearer and nearer. Now It
waa,only five hundred meters ahead—
now only three hundred. Shadows ran
across the track—now It was only one
hundred—It was the end, the col
lision—
"When I recovered consciousness 1
was pinned down by e wreckage of
what had been my engine and the last
car of the other train. Two Iron beams
were crossed over my head, so close
that I could touch them w)tn my llpa.
I heard groans and fries all around me.
People were running hither and thither
with lanterns.
•1 saw and heard everything, but I
did not move or cry for help. Through
the masses of debris I could see a little
part M the sky with a star, the twink
ling of which strangely enough filled
me jclth a feeling of Joy and made me
forget everything else."

"Thf hands of my clock are at five
mlnutea to 12 and I can hear, in antici
pation of their Imminent coming, the
strokes as they will ring out my life."
So says Mlsa Mary Grgora Barbeaux,
the most remarkable patient tne Coun
ty hospital has had in years, for this
aged woman, with tha face of an aris
tocrat and the brow of a saeress, might
be moving a queen among the elect,
yet she has chosen a life than which
there could be none more humble and
It was Just a year ago that Miss Bar-
beaux came Into public notice In a
fashion somewhat startling and em
phasized the belief tong prevalent at
the hospital that hers waa a strange
and almost unaccountable personality.
Nurses had known up to that time
that Miss Barbeaux was a Vassar
graduate and that her rearing had been
that of a rich young woman who had
had, besides, the advantages of breed
ing and social prestige. But there was
a long hiatus In her history which they
could not bridge, and It was never
krfown haw she came to be a ward of a
county poor farm. Her removal to the
hospital was, of course, a natural step
when she became too III to stay at the
farm.
When a letter was received by Miss
Barbeaux from a firm In Albany, N. Y.,
lawyers something over a year ago no
tifying her, she said, that a retired sea
captain uncle had died, leaving her hla
entire fortune of 1440,000, the specula-

••I will not accept the fortune,” she
said, "because I nave done nothing to

the lawyers, but her position was not
changed, and she wrote refusing to be
consblered as an heir. She burned the
letters, and would not even give the
curious the satisfaction of knowing
where they might get further Informa
