What whistle that. yelling so chrilly?
Ah! knew now-it is the train!
We often stand facing some danger,
And seem to take root to the place.
So stood-with this demon before me
It's heated breath tanning my face.
Its headlight made day of the darkness
And glared like the eyes of some witch
The train was almost upon me
Before l remembered the switch.
] sprang to it, selling it wildly,
The train dashins fast down the track;
And on came the fiery eyed monster.
And shot by my face like a flash.
] swooned to earth the next moment.
And knew nothing after the crash.
How long l lay there unconscious
Was impossible for me to tell;
Ny stupor was almost heaven.
My Waking--almost a hell.
For / then heard the shrieking and
moaning
OF husbands and wives
Mothers dashed past me like maniacs
Their eyes staring madly and wild.
Ny mind was made up in moment.
The river should hide me away,
When under the still burning rafter
noticed there lay white hand;
lifted the last log from off her
And quietly laid it aside,
And. while searching for some spark OF
life.
Turned the little face up in the star
light
And recognized-Maggi my wife!

The judges and jury / could see
And every eye in the courtroom
Was steadily fixed upon me.
And fingers were pointed in scorn,
Till felt my face blushing blood red,
And heard the words
Hung bv the neck until dead
Then / felt myself pulled once again,
And my hand caught tight hold of a
dress.
And / heard-'whats the matter. dear
Jim.
You've had a bad nightmare. guess?'
And there stood Maggie. my wife.
With never. a scar from the ditch.

And had not been asleep at the SWITCH
