residing on the line of the Hot Springs
Western road, saved two trains from
running into a burning bridge near
Benton. She discovered the burning
bridge, and catching up a little red
shawl, she hurried over the track to
the west to flag freight train which
she saw approaching. After seeing the
train come to a standstill within few
feet of the burning bridge, the little
heroine hurried up the tracks to the
east where a passenger train was
looming up in the distance, and again
frantically waving the red shawl, Che

lives were saved from disaster The

CHAPTER VIII.

A number of times during the fol
lowing year, and finally on the ami
versary of the Sands tragedy, Bob
carried the Exchange to the verge Of
panic, only to turn the market and
save the Street in the end. His
profits were fabulous, Alre"dy his
fortune was estimated to between two
and three hundred millions. one Of
the largest in the world His name
had become one of terror wherever
stocks were dealt in. Wall street had
come to regard his every deal from
the moment that he began operations,
as inevitably successful. Now and
again he would jump into the market
when some OF the plunging cliques
had a bear raid under way, and would
put them to rout by buying every
thing in sight and bidding up prices
until it looked as though he intended
to do as extraordinary work on the
upside as he was wont to do on the
Town At such times he was the idol
of the Exchange. which worships the
man who puts prices up as it hates
him who pulls them down. Once when
war news flashed over the wires from
Washington and rumor had the cab
