The iron was a light and frail mass, manufactured in England especially for the American market, while the rolling stock had been worn out. in service on imaginations of «,men. not; say that it e: ' for if they had Hope paints them bright as brightcan 6e_ I‘ promised; but; I will do it.

I promised, and took my post, not a little mystified at Gardiner's words, looks, and actions. ‘ ~~~- ', 7"“ ‘ We left: the_depot and wentrattlingon over the iron.» Passengers looked at under the sun was the matter with the Valleyâ€"~if it was suddenly awakened from its long sleep, and now proposed to be a railroad in earnest. ‘ ' When the conductor came thrOught the train and came along by me, I ask- ed :â€" ' . " What is the'matter with Gardiner, this morning ‘1’” “ Oh,” was the reply, “he and the Old man have had a blow out this morn- ing. You see our trains make connec- tiouswpasseugers always lay over, and, of course, they grow]. This morning the old man called us into the office, and the whole thing was out. Gardiner talked like a father to them, and as he grew ex- the road in the condition it was. He told them tlie‘timetable as made up was fast: even for a first-class road, and if we undertook to run it, a. frightful accident could not be avoided. \Vhen Gardiner energetically, while whistle and bells were uniting their protest. 1 What wasthe matter I could not con- jecture, but was anxious to know. Spring.- ing upon the rail, I made my way to the top of the ear, and the mystery was re- vealed. There on the track was a- sight that sent a thrill of horror through me. Only a few" feet ahead of us, on the track stood a more child~-uuconseious of its dangerâ€"paralyzed so that it could not move. Just clear of the track lay a wo- man, evidently helpless. ' I looked for Gardiner, to see what he was doing, ere I closed my eyes to shut out the horri- ble sight. he poor fellow had not been idle. I’lcinly’seéiug 'tliubl'lie couldncit drive the child from the track,.and that; its companion was helpless, he left his OLE NO. 6581. l Four Hundred Miles up stairs. - “ Reading about electricity,lightning,* and the telegraph, the other day,” said Uncle Peters, “ reminded me of a curiâ€"' ousstory I once heard, when I Was in England.” ' It seems there was a. neivspaper the city of Glasgow, in Scotland, which emâ€" ployed a London correspondent. The correspondent made it his duty to gather’ the news every day and send it to Glas- gow every fight by teleoraph. He madé’ an arrangement with an operator at a certain office, by which his news was sent to Glasgow at a. reduction- by tbemar. - . « a“ One night he arrived‘tit’thelowerldoor' at the foot of the stairs leading tip into‘ cab and climed forward on the engine, on to the extreme end of the cow-catch or, leaned over, and while clinging‘with one hand, reached out with the other. There did not: seem to be one chance in a million to save the childâ€"not: oneâ€" but anxiety overcame horror, and I look- ed, and shuddered as I looked. How my heart leaped into my very throat as I saw the train dash on, but saw that as it did so, Gardiner, with al- most superhuman effort, raised the child by its arm from the track and clasped it to his bosom. Then he sank down on the cow-catclier,. faint and powerless. His fireman elambered out to his side, and you may rest assured I was not long in getting? to their assistance. The unusual noise of the steam broughtout every per- son in the village to see the sight, as they realized it they shouted their joy until their throats must have been hoarse. The fireman and I clung to Gardiner; there was no need to hold. the child, for, though said it was criminal to run the road as it wss, Supt. Brown was very hot. He fairly boiled over. .He declared that there was no better road in-the country, and that Gardiner was a. coward who ought _to go on to a gravel train, and if he didn’t make the time he would have” him there, too. The road was losing its business, and there had got to be change. Brown also said that: in Valley Creek,1 where lie-lived, he had always noticed (I .' that the train slowed, and...«loshxiime.1.tqiconiesbaelqâ€"an4â€"h&- Wliigp' wed... ,, x, No Without enough there to loose their connexions. Gardiner replied to this, that at the Creek there was a down grade, the bridge was unsafe, and he was obliged to slack passed through the play-ground of the Creek school, and was not fenced in, and they could not go through at a rapid speed without danger to the children. “ Then Brown burst out with an oath that if parents did not want their chilâ€" dren run over they must. keep them off other roads and sold to the Valley Air Line on, credit and long time. The readers will see from this truth- ful statement that the Valley was not the safest road for travelers in the coun- try. It was not. Innumerable were the accidents we had, and it is a won- der to me that none of them were seri- ous. YVhile we had many narrow es- capes, we still managed, through sheer good luck, slow time, and great care, to get on without. breaking bones; but I positively assure you that time did not; accustom us to the road, and we never ran into the depot at night without feeling thankful that we were alive. When I say we, I mean the conductor, engineer, bagg ageman, fireman, and myself. . How the passengers felt, I do not know; but I do know they ought to have felt as thankful as the road men that; their bones were in good condition to allow them to walk from the depot to their homes. Ignorance may have been per- fect bliss to them, however. The engineer of our trainâ€"the Light- Ding Expressâ€"was one Of the most sober, careful, thoughtful, and industrious men that. ever handled a throttle. He pos- sesssed more than the ordinary share of thoughtful prudence, of his class, and it was owing to this fact that. so great a degree of good fortune came to us. ' Afew moments before the train was to startlone morning, Gardiner, the en- gineer, called me to his cab. He ap- peared unusually d‘owncast that morn- ing, though at best he Was by no means a “ gay” fellow. “Bob,” said Gardiner, after a few seconds talk. about general matters, “Bob, I want you to be very careful to- day. I know you’re a good fellow, and always do your duty well; but today I want you to do more. I want. you to' stand by your brake every second of thel tripâ€"â€"not to leave it for a moment, and when I signal I want you to set them up, as you never did before, and promptly, l the track. It would be a gOod thing to run over one or two of them, as it would teach them a “lessen. Ofe'course, he didn’t mean this, but he was ' hot ’ you see, and did not know what he did say. He added, than; Gurdiner’s family lived near the track, and that. Gardiner’s sole reason for‘slowing, was to have, a chance to chat with them as he went through. This set Gardiner’s anger on fire, and be rigid and helpless, Gardiner held the little one to his breast with an iron grasp. Very soon we crossed the bridge and struck the tip-grade, Where the train slow- ed, and finally came to it full stop, nearly in front of Gardiner’s house. V With the help of .some of the villagbrs We took, by force, the child from the enâ€" gineer’s arms and carried him into the house and laid him on the bed. As he sank down the little life in him seemed “ Who child is it. ?” “ Superintendent Brown’s,” said a neighbor, to my astonishment. " Is it; alive ?” gasped Gardiner. “ It is alive and wellâ€"thanks to your bravery,” I answered, and Gardiner sank back upon his pillow. . The child which Gardiner had so mir: aeulously saved was the son and only child of our Superintendent. It, seemed siagular that the morning talk of the two men should have so singular an end- ing, but so it was. The wife of the Sn- perintendent, with their only child, had been out for a walk. The little one run- ning on ahead, had ‘strayed upon: the track. Hearing the whistle, the mother called the child to her, but, happy in its freedom, it ran on, laughing and shout- ing, child-like, into the. jaws of danger. It was too much for the mother.» She made an effort to save her darling, but then and there declared that; he would make time, let the consequences be what they might, and if disaster happened, Brown must assume the responsibility. You see he is keeping his words, but the old fellow feels bad enough.” \Ve dashed over the frail iron at a fright- ful speed. You could almost hear the bars crackle as we went. The cars surâ€" ged from east to west, forcing passengers to cling to their seats. Not for a second did I leave my brake. We were nearly down to Valley Creek, on time. As we approached the long stretch of down grade, I felt by the shaking that; Gardiner had slackened up, as if the danger were really to great ; and then, as if his promise had come full upon his mind, had again carefully Open- cd his throttle. Down the. Valleywe went, our rapid speed startling the birds, the cattle, and even the staid old forest trees into new strange ideas. I grasped the brake firmly; the engine Whistled and screamed, warning all to keep clear of it. I-held my breath, well knowing that if we left the track it would be to' go to destruction. Suddenly the whistle ceased and then there came three unearthâ€" ly. yells from it ; they pierced my earsand made them ache. How I set up the brake, for I felt there was danger ahead. I knew this when Gardiner suddenly re versing, and the brake, did not seem to have any effect On the train. On, -on it went, at its dangerduSly rapid speed. I stretched my neck out as far as possible, nervously clinging to the roiling. I too. Iknow you will do it. for me, won’t: you, Bob?” could see that Brown was at: his post, i looking out as I did, and moving his hand thereof. before she could overtake the little one her strength failed her, and she fell. Our engine was injured so that. it: was impossible-t0 go on, and another was telegraphed for. 7 “’0 tried all we could to bring Gardiner back, but the physi- cian said that the excitement under which the noble fellow had labored had prostrated him, and that it would re- quire the greatest care and a long time. to bring him back to life. He bird that, care you may rest assured. ' I was in Gardiner’s house when Su- perintendent Brown came in that night. The “ oldman ” as we called him, had lost- all sign of his anger, and he wept like a. child as he looked upon the strong man thus prostrate before him. He visited thepatient daily, and his very life seemed to hang upon Gardiner’s re- covery, and when the danger was passed, the long fever-which ensued was broken, and the engineer begun to recover, the Superintendent was as happy as a child.
