Not many davs after the Voice had
first made its presence known. IL spoke
long ana earnestly to Ferguson, and
as he harkened. the light OF wild antic.
ipstion cleaned In his eyes.
From under the couch In the corner
he drew a .crowbar, wrench, and
sledgehammer. These he carried to
Gabriel's Balcony, and, according as
the Voice commanded, he welded the
tools, singing as he toiled.
When the work was done, the Voice
and Ferguson waited impatiently. The
Limited came to its fate with no warn
ing. From the verge of Gabriel's Bal
cony IL plunged, coach trailing coach.
Rocks and earth detached from the
precipice pursued It as it fell.
Down the steep incline rolled
twisted metal and splintered timbers,
e~nsbrouded in an eyer-swelling mass
of rock and soil. It grew into a a
ing avalanche, and as 1t struck the
timbered slope it added trees of GEN.
fury growth to its appalling bulk.
