Ward had been told 20 keep straight or,
and so he followed the less beaten road, but
which IN the dark could not be diStt gulSled
from tho more prominent road, and keep
ing well TO the left, as was natural in the
night, followed the line of trees on the road
side and Mr.. Stems brightly painted picket
fence. Sudde-.iy he perceived a black abyss
at his side and bright lights across at Ber-

out OF the pa9ton, sa where he was, made
turn IN an exceedingly limited space,
lea Ied the horse back toward the road and
then took his seat in the pL8tOn and at

symptoms of balSing, and Mr. Ward, re-
aiIzlng the close quarters he was in, got out
again, went to the horses head and at
tempted to lead him back. The horse be-

Ward saw what was coming. de ran to
the ph9ton just as it was gong over the
embankment and tried to rescue Miss Brady,
UuC IL was to late.
The cut is almost vertical, and the last 10
feet is vertical. Down they welt like
meteor. Between the track and the rocky
side is space OF about . feet. Miss Brady
never uttered a scream and after the awful
crash all was still sa ve MIR. Ward's cries
for help. Miss Brady lay at full length
with head op the ties in the direction of
Philadelphia. The horses head and fore
feet were stretched the other way. up track.

and probably saved NJ IS Brady from being
crushed by the animals weight The horse
struggled some, groaned little, but Miss
Brady was calm. She called MIR. Ward by
name and reassured him that she was yet all
right He had pitched down the embank-
ment and was shouting for help.
George w. Johnson and his brother Will

bankment, came rushing down add across

Then the two men surang to one side, the
cars crashed into the horse ana the phaeton

the train came to a stop just before the two
