Then she stepped out on to the metal
rounds of the WOrkman'S ladder, that
hung on the pier, and swiftly climbed
up with her rife slung across her
shoulders.
She came up with cat-like stiffness,
and the negro, who was leaning out on
the opposite side, listening for the
train, had not heard her. Softly she
swung herself up and covered the man
with her rifle; then he, hearing the
click. turned with an imprecation and
looked into the shining barrel.
The minutes We're few now, as the
train had left Bridgeton, and soon the
whistle would ask if the draw was all
right; then if the lights-which the
negro had placed-were right, and

Then the whistle of danger rent the

on the edge of the bridge, while the

quantities of green stuff, which he hung
everywhere, and with his stiff old fin
gers he laboriously fashioned the word

hung it over the mantel shelf.
There was small turkey hen in the
cellar, plump and tender. There were
good things of all sorts in the pantry.
For 1 allow, Gold Dust, that We'll have

Gold Dust licked his chops and wagged
his tail solemnly, for if there was ever
q dog that loved q good dinner 1t was
the one addressed.
But now it was all over. The brief,
unsatisfactory message from Aunt Per
kins had arrived, stating that Marion
had concluded to stay over Thanksgiv-
ing with them.
She promised, Gold Dust she prom
ised,' said the old man, ''and she amt
never broke her word yet. I think it's

spectfully of his martial sister-in-laW.

she won't be here now no how, whosev-
ers the fault and the old gray head
again went forward on the table.
At o'clock the ferry was due, for
the river was not yet frozen over, and
the ferry boat was still running. When
the first whistle for the bridge sounded
the old man arose and lit his lantern
and went out to open the bridge.
Two weeks before the porter of the
red express had been DISCHARGED for
dishonesty and impertinence at Bridge
ton, and the big, burly fellow hung
around the town, doing odd jobs and
plotting vengeanse against the eonduc-
tor and crew of the red express, and
tonight, with the aid of bad whisky he
had matured his plans.
He was hidden in a dark corner of
the draw, as it swung open, and Abiram
stood a moment looking down in the
river after the ferry had steamed
through. Then, as he turned TO close
the draw for the red express, due in 10
minutes, he was seized from behind
and thrown down.
Half stunned the old soldier struggled
to arise, but the negro held him fast
and bound him tightly with a long rope,
gagging him to prevent an cutlery.
