4 Cool Headed Young Lady

Pennsylvania has some a>toni,hngly
cool headed young ladies. The Titusyille
Herald tells the story of one who should
have the medal. On the Union and Titus
willie Railroad there is long, high trestle,
which j. on one side concealed from the
engineer of an approaching train by "A
sharp curve In the road. short time ago
"a a train wheeled around the curve. the
engineer was Mortified to discover a lady
midway on the tIestle. Quick aS thought
he checked the train, though he knew II
was AN utter impossibility to bring 1t TO a
stand in season to prevent IA dire catas-
trophe. The lady heard the warning
whistle. and turning her head, saw the
iron monster almost upon her. Escape
seemed impossible !; to remain was certain
death: to jump 10 the ground beneath. a
distance OF thirty TO forty feet. equally
certain death. and to attempt to run ahead
and escape was out of the question. She
neither screamed nor tainted. but acted.
Thirty inches below the ends OF the ties.
and Immediately under the sfriBger which
supports them. there was jolst hve Inches
wide running from one support oi the
trestle to another. Quickly she swung
herself down to this narrow thread with
the apparent ease of a gymnast. and with
her arms ciasped around 1t. stretched her.
self al full length along il as the train thun-
dered by almost over her. As soon a the
engineer saw her action he threw of his
breaks. ant putting on steam, hurried past
as soon as possible, when she niinbly
sprapp to the track again. and pursued her
journey as though nothing had happened.
