work on the East Tennessee. Virgin
ia and Georgia Railroad, above Bulls
Gap. Behind her, in the distance was
the approaching mail train. The tres
tie WIS narrow, being but the width
between the two tracks, and about six
ty feet long. Once upon it the walker
must get quickly to the other end as Il
train might rush on it from either di-
Tection, and no recourse would be left
to that human being other than GER
tain death. save that q self possessed
person might drop between the tim
bers and wait With bated breath the
passage over of the train.
Half q mile distant from the trestle.
