The agent fairly gasped the words,
but Charles understood him at once.
No. IS, the through freight, and No.
S, the express, between stations on a
single track road, were rushing to-
gether with nothing to stop them!
Charles turned as white as the agent.
while look of despair crept over his
face. Suddenly his eye rested upon
his wheel, and hope came to him.
- He remembered the long curve of the
track and the short cut of the road,
and how they came together again
further on almost at right. angles, and
then continued in parallel lines. He
thought of the slow progress of the
freight. 1t was one chance in a hun
dred, but perhaps he could head off the
freight train and stop her, particularly
as he had SO much less distance to 20
and could get great speed on the down
grade.
He was on his wheel in moment,
riding as he had never ridden before.
At first there was a smooth stretch Of
road leading to the steep hill, which
threw the road at right angles to the

LIFE AND DEATH.

Two shadowy forms together stand
At portal OF the opening year; a's'a%as.rr,
Each stretching out reckoning hand,
AS on the threshold we appear. 49,
One leadeth forth with restless feet
Into conflict earnest: grave saa. E
And fills our hearts with hope to meet
a victory like soldiers brave. -, ,s
The other with trembling touch Ns-s Z
Draws to dreamless lowly bed. +
Where those. who. burdened over-much
Find rest for weary heart and head.
But in her other hand she holds
Concealed from sight, a golden key +
Which Heavens pearly gate unfolds
Into blest eternity. a. .g~e, ...
Each strives to keep us In her grasp,
TO lure us onward:in her sphere; -
The Lord Of life. ana death. doth clasp
And guide their ,hands-we need not
fear. - s"

track, and over this his wheel fairly
flew. With his head bent low over the
handlebars, he glanced neither: 70 the
right nor left, but fastened his eyes
upon the road, which seemed like some
white, silent river flowing by him with
great rapidity. It took but moment
or two to get over this road, at the
speed he was riding, but it seemed to
him to be years.
H. was now on the down grade, and.
although he could not see the freight,
he knew it was near from the presence
OF the cloud of thick, black smoke,
which hung above it's course.
He soon reached the crest of the hill.
In moment, he thought, he could see
the freight and know whether he could
stop her or not At length the train
came into view, and he saw at once he
could not hope to head it off, but that
by using all his. speed he would be able
to reach it before all the cars had passed
the place where the road curved in
by the side of the track.
AS he started down the hill he put
all his weight on the pedals until the
bicycle shot down the grade at great
pace, gathering speed with each revo-
luton OF the wheels. He was going so
fast that when he came to the level
it seemed to him that his speed in
creased instead of diminished.
Now, he is approaching the track
with lightning swiftness. The road and
railroad begin to converge. Moments

A moment, then another. passes. Sure.

A moment, then another, passes. Sure
~ he must now be ahead of the freight,
Charles strength returns, and, leaving
his wheel, he PUSHES along beside the
track. On reaching place where he
can see some distance ahead of the train,
he notices the brakeman with the red
flag is still running. #" a,s..
Then there comes the whistle of an
approaching train. The brakeman
waves his flag, and Charles hears the
whistle of ''down brakes" from the en-
CINE of No. S, and sees No. 1s, the heavy
freight, begin slowly and Enthusiastically
to back. Soon No. comes in view.
Still moving but very slowly, and at
last stops. No. 10 then ceases to back.
and the two trains face each other, the
smoke from their engines intermingling
above the length upon length of cars
which might have been piled upon one
another in one wild heap of chaos and
death.

pass which seem like years. He raises
his eyes, the train is directly ahead Of
him; he will just reach it before it
passes entirely. The engine has already
passed and some of the cars.
Once more he looks down and puts
all his remaining strength upon the
pedals. He raises his eyes again, and
finds he is shooting along the road Ne
side thu. freight, which is now going
at good speed. He cannot hope to keep
this pace long; already the freight is
gaining upon him..
A brakeman is half asleep on one of
the cars. Charles waves his hand fran
tically and tries to shout, but to his sur
prise his voice makes little sound, and
that is drowned in the rumble of the
train. The brakeman laughs and waves
his hand in response, as if it were
good joke, his riding a race with the
train
Would he laugh, Charles thinks, if
he realized that that great mass of
wood and metal, passenger No. $, was
coming toward him with the force of
a tornado?
The freight is surely gaining, and
they pay no attention to him. A shor+
distance ahead the road and track d.
verge again; what shall he do? He
rides with the energy of desperation,
and the brakeman at last calls to a
fellow brakeman to look at him. They
can't seem to make out why he should
try to beat the train, when it is so hope
less a task.
His heart leaps with hope for mo-
ment, but it is soon dispelled. for the
other brakeman laughs, and then both
wave their hands at him in token OF
farewell.
Charles, in the agony of despair, let's
his hand fall downward, and as he does
so it comes in contact with bunch in
his coat pocket. Again hope comes to
him, for he remembers it is the rem
nant of an old red flag he had used to
clean his wheel, and had stuffed into
his pocket.
Quick as a flash he has drawn the
rag forth, and now waves it in answer
to their 1nocl1ing gestures. 1t is old
and soiled, but it's red is still bright
enough to look sinister and dangerous
as Charles waves it frantically above
his head.
The smiles die away from the faces
of the brakemen. One of them starts
on run along the cars toward the en-
CINE. Then there comes the whistle of
''down brakes Charles is sick and
faint, but he realizes he must keep up.
Slowly, oh! SO slowly, it seems to him.
the trains speed diminishes, and at last
1t ceases to move. ... 49,.
A. brakeman climbs down and runs
towards the bicyclist, for he still waves
that piece of red flag above his head
with one hand while with the other he
clasps firmly the handlebar of his wheel.
The brakeman is close to him now and
grasps his wheel, for it is beginning TO
wobble frightfully. He holds it firmly,
for Charles is, for the moment, too weak
to dismount.

Charles stammers out between his gasps

That is enough; the brakeman knows
only too well what it means. He shouts
out the information to another brake

lattec starts on run for the head Of
