She was tvaviug a handkerchief and making wild gestures to stop the train. Suspecting the there was a broken rail, or that a part of the trestle had washep away,or perhaps tbet the embankment near the trestle was giv¬ ing way, the engineer, with great difficul¬ ty, brought his train to a standstill.

I tried to walk over on the crosstos bist now but every’ time I got half way my head would begiu to swim, and I would hrveto turn round and go hick.’, This was to o much for the gallant little engineer, snd muttering something between' his teeth that bad the suspicion ol being e churoh word, he pulled the throttle open and shot, aowas tte trestle without answering the heartrending entreaty.
