ed to cross the track and take the path
leading through the land of Arthur Bill

around a curve, and all trains are accus-
toned to whistle. Some say that this
was true in this case, others say it was
not. Mr.. Gabree was quite feeble, being
"a wears old, and did not hear very
plainly,

Pierce. saw the danger and took his
hand, begging him to wait, but that Mr.
Gabree, with pleasant, Goodbye; I'm
going" stepped upon the track as the
train bore down upon him.
Mrs. Roy Demeritt, from the office
saw the train brought to standstill
and one of the passengers came forward
asking for the telephone, that a physl,
clan might be called. DR.. g. 5. Bidwei
was summoned. Mr.. Gsbree was thought
to be breathing at that time. A crowd
at once collected from the factory, but
he was gone.
