would not stop. John +. jumped on tho
track and shouted he would rido over her
and that she had to stop. Some of his
companions got him off in time to let the
express pass by at a 20 miles minuga
gait. The engineer gave the whistle for
the next crossing and the great and only
circus performer were left like the hero
