faint blow of whistle. He knew 1t
was the train. He ran down the track
to where the bridge stood. And TO his
surprise the bridge was almost down.
lie knew the train coming from the
other side would be wrecked If he
didn't get across to wave Il down. But
no" was he to get across? He quickly
pulled off his shoes and stockings He
walked holding on to the side pianks
or the bridge. He got about half way
across then ne saw he could 20 no
farther this way. He could now hear
the train about two miles away. He
was a good swimmer, but he couldn't
swim across so swift river. Jack
saw a rope on the other side, he
thought. IF I just had the other end
OF that rope" The rope was tied to
the other end of the bridge by chain.
This rope had been there TO hold the
row boat. but the boat had been
washed away by the heavy rain.
Jack got ready to dive for the rope
He knew If he did not get TO the rope
the train would be wrecked He knew
II he did not get the rope he would be
drowned. He drew in his breath and
Owed with all his might. Down. down
he went almost twenty feet, but at last
he got the rope. Then he rose to the
surface and pulled himself to shore
He had just gotten across when the
screeching OF the wheels and the noise
OF the engine was heard about !ifty
yards ahead Jack scrambled up and
pulled the wet red bandanna from
around his neck. He then ran as fast
as he could around the curve that stood
before the river. He held his bandanna
in both hands as signal for danger
The engineer saw the signal. but when
the train stopped 1t was six feet from
the river.
Bring that hero here" shouted the
conductor. Jack was brought before
the conductor who said. You will be
rewarded for this" Then he asked
Jack why he was SO wet. Jack told
him how he crossed the bridge and all
of his bravery.
BY this time the train reached the
town Of Bakersville by backing The
conductor got OF and bought Jack
some clothes; then Jack went with the
conductor TO the telegraph office.
Hello. Jack. what are you doing
here?" The conductor then told Mr..
Epes all about it.
Jacks reward was two hundred dol
lars. With this he bought him a bicy-
Gle and put the rest in the bank

OUR TOLLS AND OUR REWARDS.

o'clock the next morning.

When the bank was opened 1t was

because he was not lazy and always
liked to work. He had an idea in his
warded for his toll.
One day Frank was sent on an err
rand and returned two hours later.
He did this because he was lazy and
didn't like to work. He always came
to work late. and at last was dis
charged from the office.
Years passed by and John heard
nothing OF Frank, nor did he want to
hear Of him. John was eighteen years
old when he got a better position. and
when he was twenty-one he became
the bank cashier. So we all see John
was rewarded for his toll.
Every day John would read the
newspaper. He was always sure to
read the court cases. One day he read

JOAN DARE.

Once in the time of the war between
France and England there lived a
brave French girl. whose name was
Joan DARE Her country still re-
members her with a great deal of
characteristic French devotion.
Every day she and some other girls
used TO play games under a certain
tree. One day while they were play
ing under the tree they saw n crazy
man. All Of them ran except Joan
Dare.
Once while she was praying in the
Cathedral of Rheims. which has re-
Gently been bombarded by the Ger
mans. she had a vision of Saint Eliza
beth appearing to her and telling her
TO go and ask the King if she might
Lead the armies against England.
She told the people she lived with
OF this strange scene. but they only
laughed ut her. At last an old man
took her to see the King.
The day after her arrival at the
palace she was led into beautiful
nail. on throne sat man in a
purple robe with golden crown on
his head. Though Joan Dare had
never before seen n king. she knew
that this man on the throne was not
n king. lie looked as If he was not
used 10 such tinery. and he did not sit
like king. Joan Dare turned away
officer and told him her wish Per-
haps it was because the heart of this
strange girl had SO touched the King,
for he consented. Joan Dare was
then dressed in white armor and was
given white horse.
The French won many complete VIC
tories. and at last England surren-
dered.
Joan Dare then asked to go home.
but the King asked her to stay longer.
One day the English captured her
and put her in tower with water on
all sides.
Every day she was brought to court
for trial, but nothing could be found
wrong with her. The Black Prince
decided to burn her on the stake. Be-
fore she died she asked for two sticks
and nail. Out of this she made 4
cross and kissed it the first blaze
started.
1t was because of the ignorance and
superstition of the time that this great
crime of burning an innocent person
was done. II is a great pity that this
black stain is against the Black
Prince of England. whose life had been
SO glorious.
