get used TO the motion after awhile.
Suddenly the train came to STOP
and as Robin had understood that they
were not to halt until they came to
Springfield, he was out in an instant to
see what the trouble was.
About an eighth of mile in front Of
them was wooden bridge that was so
low that the giants heads would have
been knocked off if the train had run I'M
der 1t, and the engineer had noticed the
fact in time.
well, get out aud walk" said Robin
to the Giants. We'll pick you up on
the other side Of the bridge"
1--WE don't feel like moving" said Cor
moran in ogrish tones. And Il feel too
dizzy to walk" roared Blunderbore. You
said we were to ride to New York and
we're going to do 1t. We're not AFRAID
of that little bridge"
NO no." said Robin, waving his hands
imperously. The engineer took 1t as
a signal and he started the train. Robin
Jumped aboard and told the giants to lie
back as far as they could but instead
of that they opened their hands and held
them before them, and when that train
went through the cut the bridge went
| along too, borne aloft in the strong hands
of the big fellows.
OF course, Robins uncle was respon-
sible for the loss of the bridge, but the
giants did not care for that. But Robin
/, knew that If he went through New Eng
land wrecking every bridge that he came
to it would make his trip a very unpop-
uiar one, so he asked Jack to reason with
the giants.
Old King Cole ordered his folders to
strike up in the vain hope of softening
the big men, but they wouldn't be soft
ened. They were very uncomfortable and
very cross. They held the bridge in their
hands until they came to a railroad bridge
and then they threw it into the river.
