"Hetty" again began the smooth tongued to-
ry, "you are nice child every body knows you
girl of truth. What did your cousin say
to you when you told him you could not tell a
falsehood ?'
"He said he shouldn't think I'd betray him to
bis death.''
"And then you promised him that you would
not tell which way he went, if you was killed
for it?'
eyes, sir.''
That was brave speech; and so I suppose
he thanked you for it, and down the road as
quick as possible?"
81 promised not to tell which wav he went
sir'
"Oh, yes, forgot. Well tell us his last words,
and we won't trouble you any more"
His last words were: It's my only chance,
child, I'll get down you say" And overcome
by fright, and sense of her kinsman's danger,
should they rightly interpret the language which
she had repeated, she sobbed aloud and hid her
face from sight.
Her tormentors did not stay longer to soothe
or question her. They had got, as they supposed
the information they wanted, and pushed rapid
ly on to the river.
Now the Governor had so arranged signal
with his boatmen, that white cloth by day or
light in the night, displayed from the attic win
COW OF his nl0lnS place, winch was just visible
at the mouth of the creek, should inform them if
he was in trouble, and put them the alert to
help him.
AS soon, therefore, as they started, the signal
tioated from the window to warn the boatmen.
And when they the pursuing party dash
madly down the road to the river, and recognized
the British uniform of the leader, they quickly
pulled out to sea. The horsemen reached the
shore only in season to see the boat with two men
in it, nearly out of sight; and supposing that
their destined prey had escaped, relinquished the
pursuit.
Meanwhile the hunted victim lay snug and
quiet where the simple shrewdness of his little
cousin had hidden him until the time came for
her to return home for supper. Then he babe
her go as usual to her home; telling her mother
to place the signal lamp, as as it grew dark.
in the window for the boatmen and to send him
there some supper with his valise, which in his
hurry of departure, he had left behind.
The signal recalled the boat, which, after twi-
light, had ventured in sight of the shore and the
old farm-house and the governor quietly made
his way to the river in safety. When he had re-
joined his family, in secure home, he named
the infant daughter, which had been born in his
absence, Hetty Marvin, that he might be daily
reminded of the little cousin whose truthfulness
and shrewdness had saved his life.

From the Toronto Globe, February lO.l
One of the most frightful railway accidents il
mas been our duty to record for q length of time,
occurred yesterday morning on the Grand Trunk
hallway, resulting in the instant death of three
persons, employees on the road. The following
are the particulars of the affair. The Grand
trunk Railway, short distance west of the
Georgetown station, crosses over the river Credit
py one Of the largest bridges OH the road 1t is
one of the highest-if not the very highest
bridges on the rOad, il being not less than one
hundred and twenty-five feet from the surface of
the river to the floor Of the bridge The river at
TINS point is very shallow. being at this feason of
the year not more than 40 or three feet in depth
anu almost entirely frozen over. About O'Clock
Yesterday morning, as No is freight taan, from
sarnia' was approaching this bridge, It was no
ticed ny those OH the train that an axetree Of
one oi the rear cars was broken. The engine
irive, on being notified of the fact, at once
whlstled brakes down." but owing to the ice on
The track, and the train being on the down grade.
the train could not be stopped as quickly AS un
der ordinary circumstances. At the time the
ueiect lu tue exletree was discovered, the train
was within about two hundred yards of the
Dridge, and going ut the ordinary rate of speed
lhe persons on the train did all in their power TO
~ sup IL All their Efforts, however, were una
valling, as the train still kept moving, and in n
few moments entered on the bridge. The engine
and the tender and number of the cars passed
onward in safety, but just rs the last two cars
came upon the bridge the coupling of the for
ward one broke. In these cars were the con-
duotor of the train and two brakesmen Imme-
diatoly on the parting of the train the last two
cars ran oil the track, dashed through the side
rail ofthe bridge, took awful leap into the air,
and fell, with a fearful crash, into the river be-
meath, distance of one hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
ieet. They were, Of course, smashed to atoms.
and the three unfortunate men were maneled in
such horrible manner as to be scarcely distin- |
guishable as human beings. Their arms, bodies, |
heads and legs were cut smashed, and crushed |
into one sickening, awful mass of creeping, iel. |
lied flesh and bone. The head of the unfortu. |
nate conductor could, at first, nowhere be found. |
but after searching awhile among the ruins,
pieces Of skull, face, and brain, all that now re-
mained of il, were picked up and gathered to-
gether. There eau be no doubt that the accident
resulted from the exletree, as all that portion of
the train before the broken car passed safely
over the bridge. The bridge was not very much
injured by the affair, only few of the rails and
the portion of the slle rail through which the
cars ran having been damaged.
