might also need the red light, sne took
it in her other hand and flew up the
track with the speed of the wind, at the
imminent risk of falling and breaking
her neck in the inky darkness.
Once she stumbled and fell, and the
lantern was dashed from her hand and
went rolling along the ground far be-
yond her reach by the sudden impetus
which her fall had given it; but with
out pausing to regain it she sprang to
her feet and bounded on.
The switch at the east end of the
siding was fully half a mile from the
Office, and about the same distance
from the beginning of the cut, If No.
% could back in on the siding in time,
they would be safe; but if they at
tempted to back down the main track
past the telegraph Office, they were
liable to be overtaken by No. 21 be-
fore going half the distance; as, accord
to the dispatcher's figures, No. 21
should now be very close.
As Lily reached the switch, a pair of
cleaning red lights suddenly appeared
around the curve in the cut; and she
knew that the train was already rapid
ly backing up, and that she had not
moment to lose.
Feeling for the lock in the darkness
she then struck it several heavy blows
with the axe, which she still retained.
Luckily one of the blows taking effect,
the broken lock dropped to the ground.
She then grasped the switch lever and
| attempted to throw it over, but it re-
sisted her utmost efforts to move it.
The train was now only short dis
tance away, and with the energy of de-
spair she braced her feet against the
switch-standard, and, putting forth her
strength in one mighty effort, the OBJ
stinate lever came over with a sudden
jerk and No. % glided safely in on the
siding.
The shrill scream of a whistle was
now heard in the cut, and as soon as
the Grain was clear she again exerted
all her strength and threw the switch
back to its former position.
A headlight now flashed around the
curve, and a moment later No. p
rushed roaring by.
Lily, by her bravery, promptness and
presence of mind, had averted terri
BILE calamity.
At the official investigation which
took place few days later, the entire
crew of the runaway train acknowl
edged that they were asleep, and the
conductor had been awakened by {
brick thrown in at the caboose window
The only excuse they had for theil
neglect of duty was that they had beer
on the.rood for thirty-two consecutive
hours without sleep or rest, and tina
they were completely worn out.
Notwithstanding the fact that tht
management of the road was responsi
BILE for requiring the men to run thi
long double trip, the entire crew wer,
summarily discharged for criminal neg
lect of duty, as though mans endur
ance was an infallible bank, to b
drawn on at pleasure. Cincinnati
