now filled up, and the road is becoming
one of the best. At one time the COM
pany were in great straits. and many OF
thelr operatives were unpaid. Some of
the men were desperate. and, as the fact
proved, dangerous. On Il certain evening
train was approaching one of these high
trestle-brid ges. 1t was known that the
directors of the road were aboard, and
some villain had determined to throw the
whole train from that bridge The engi-
neer, letting his train move at the ordinary
speed, suddenly discovered that a rail had
been displaced on the brid. He seemed
to know instinctively that the momentum
was too great to save the whole train :;
and he signalcd the brakes down and re-
versed his engine, to stop, if possible, the
cars before reaching :he chasm. Then.
opening the throttIe-valve, his engine
sprang forward so violently as to break the
connection with the train, and dashed TO
the awful leap. The bold man, as this
was going on, ran out of his window on
the engine and opened his escape-valve.
Whilst standing there the engine went
over with him: and, marvellous 10 relate.

credible pluck, stopped Just soon enough to
escape the horrible leap after the engine.

still an honored employc of the company.
