at the other end OF the city from
Mary's home and the little girl was
lonely, indeed without any of her lit
tie friends. Now Aunt Kate loved
the little girl and she wanted to make
her happy, and SO she suggested giving
a party on the second Saturday of the
visit. and inviting all OF Mary's little
friends from school. The invitations
were written on paper bearing quaint
pen and ink sketches of Mother Goose
sweeping the cobwebs from the sky
and the children were told to come to
Mary's Mother Goose Luncheon and
to wear something to represent a
Mother Goose character.
Can you imagine the Jolly group
that gathered at Aunt Hates table.
There was Jack Horner and Little Boy
Blue, Bo Peep without her sheep and
Little Miss Muffet with her bowl of
milk. The Queen Of Hearts was there,
and Old King Cole and there was Tom
the Piper's son and Margery Daw.

the track entered q deep cut that had
been blasted out Of the solid rock Of
q hill. The cut was not only deep
but was curved as WELL Because it
hid the approaching trains from the
crossing the electric connections IN the

the far side OF the cut so that the
trains coming FROM the north would
begin to ring the Warning bell at the

>One day Walter, after q chat with
Jerry. had struck out to the north for
tramp In the woods. He climbed
the hill and came to the upper edge
Of the cut. 1t was q warm day and he
sat down to rest. thinking that per-
haps he would stay until Number s,
the down express. came along in half
an hour or so.
Suddenly there was a sharp crack
ing and grating sound and the ground
upon which Walter was sitting sank
beneath him. In an instant he was
plunging down into the cut in the
When. q minute later. Walter had
recovered a little from the shock he
found himself lying between the
tracks with his legs pinned down by
| a huge rock. He could not pull him
self out nor move the rock and the
pain that any effort caused him quick
ly forced him to lie still.
Then there flashed into his mind the
thought that Number 6 was due
within half an hour! There was a
mighty good chance that she would
be wrecked on that mass OF rock for
because OF the curve in the cut the
| engineer would be unable to see the
landslide until he was close upon 1t.
And II there was a wreck Walter him
self would be one Of the victims. lie
must give warning somehow. for there
was little chance that anybody would
come sion~ in time to help him.
