The carriage was called and injured
Mrs. johnson was taken home. glad
that she had suffered only a broken
leg.
But after they got back 10 the cars
the train hands began to tell stories
Of old railway men who had forgotten
to wave anything red when TO do II
meant saving lives.
Katie IL a slight child with naxen
hair. cold steady blue eyes. and clear
waxen pink complexion. She has
about her an air OF one who thinks
and acts quickly and with fearless
resolution.
How Accident Occurred.
I'VE all had been 10 Philadelphia
that day" said Mrs. Johnson. Il had
with me a little four.year-old boy,
Herbert Durand. and Katie. When we
got back TO Mount Holly was pretty
tired and thought would walk home
the shortest way. This led me over
the bridge near the station. The children
were ahead Of me but short distance.
and were getting over the bridge nice
". We walked on a plank that runs
across the middle OF the bridge. I was
about half way across. I think. when
my foot slipped on this plank and
caused me TO fall. knocking down 1T
tie Herbert. and nearly rolling him
into the creek. After had put him on
his feet I started TO get up. and In
doing so made a misstep that plunged
both my feet and then my body be-
tween two ties. until only my head
and shoulders were above the bridge.
Il saved myself from dropping into
the creek below by spreading out my
arms when felt myself going down.
Child Thought Quickly.
Il screamed as fell and this at.
tracted the attention OF Katie. who
was a little distance ahead OF me. She
came running back and taking hold
OF one arm tried 10 help me up. but
I could not lift myself enough TO ge,
out. While was thinking what 10
do. whether ! should drop into the
creek below OF try some other means
OF getting loose. found Katie had left
me and started for the station for
help.
"She had gone but few steps when
| heard whistle. and saw Katie
white as a sheet. with big tears In her
eyes, give one look at me and then
turn about and fairly ny across the
bridge up the track toward the train
that was Just visible arcund curve
Il could not understand what Katie
intended 10 do 20 help me. but some
how had absolute confidence that the
child would save my life.
The Mothers Agony.
Hardly had she gone on the bridge
than she snatched from her neck red
muller that she wore and waved Il
frantically at the engineer. at the
same time planting herself In the mid
die Of the track. apparently with the
belief that n the fiag did not stop the
engine she would. When saw this
looked ut the engine for an instant
and not being able to see that the
train was slowing down my blood
turned hot and cold by turns. and
shut my eyes. determined that
would not move. for knew that II the
engine ran past Katie and her sig
nal Il meant that death had come
to her. and might just as well come
to me
In that moment lived over n good
many years. before realized that
the train had stopped and ! was beins
lifted from danger.
Il remember thinking OF an acci
dent which ! saw several years agt
on this very bridge. when an old mar
