We knew it instantly; there had been a heavy fall of rock not far from us, and instan- taneously we started in the direction of the sound. The place was soon reached.

After a moment of gazing, in horror-struck silence, the thought started to our lips—What isto bedone?

Don’t notico the sound of the approaching train, muffied as it was by the hill that ay betwee It was advancifg at fearful b soe rushing on—all that freight of joyous human life—on to cer tain destruction; into the terrible jaws of death! I was utterly paralyzed. Not so with Mrs. Walker's Betsy. “I'm goin’ to run and yell!” she cried, and was off upon the instant. Screaming at the top of her voice, Keeping near the edge of the bank, from which she could be soonest seen from the approaching train, Plunging through underbrush, and leaping like a chamois among the rocks, sho dashed on, and sounded her warning cry as she went. “Fire! Fire! Murder! Hello the house! Head the horses! Thieves! Thieves! Mad dogs! Get out of the way old Dan Tucker!” were a few of the changes improvised as she ran. I followed as I could ; seemingly in a sort of nightmare, wondering why I did not shriek, yet incapable of making a sound; expecting every moment to fall upon the rocks, yet pitk- ing my steps with a sureness and rapidity that astonished me even then. Botsy’s next movement was to bend down a smal! sapling, and, calling to me to throw my red soart around it, she allowed it to rebound. Then sho bid me shake it, which I did vigor- ously. Itstood atan angle upon the bank, and, commanding a long stretch of the rail- road, it was a most appropriate place to erect a signal. Then leaping upon the track, she bounded on like a deer, shouting and geeticu- lating with redoubled energy, vow that the train appeared in sight. It soon became evi- dent that the engineer was neither blind nor deaf, for the brakes were speedily applied and the engine reversed. Still it dashed on with fearful velocity, and Betsy turned and ran back toward the obstructed place in an agony of excitement. Gradually the speed lessened, the wheels obeyed their checks, and when at last they came to a fall stop, the cow-catoher was within four feet of the rock. Many, seeing the dan- ir, had already leaped off; many, more terri- ed, and unconscious of the res! nature of the danger, crowded the platform, and pushed off those before them. It was a scene of the wild- eet confusion, in which my heuri sent w the quivering ery of joy—*Saved! saved'” Betsey had climbed half way up the bi and thrown herself, exhausted. upon the el, With her apron drawn over her he picked my way down to the train to assist the frightened children. Mr. Price, the principal, was handing out his own three, and teachers and pupils followed like swarms of bees from a hive. *‘Now, Miss Burke,”’ said the principal, in a voice that grew tremulous, as he looked at the frightful mass before, “I wish to hear who it was that gave the alarm, and saved us from this hideous fate. Whs it you?" I think I never felt a glow of truer pleasure than then, 'ss I answered quickly, “I hed nothing to do with saving your lives, and take no creditin the matter. The person to whom our thanks are due, sits on the bank wonder, Mre. Waiker’s Betsy.”” Every eye wandered towards the crouching figure, who, with head closely covered. ap- eared indifferent to all that was passing. Mr. Price opened his portmonnaie. ‘Here are two dollars,” he said, ‘which I wish to give the girl for myself and children. Tell her, as a school, she will hear from us again.” I went to Betsy’s side, put the money in hor hand, and begged her to uncover her face. But she resolutely refused to do more than peep through one of the holes in her ml sel as the whole school singly and slowly defiled past her in the narrow space between the train and the bank. A imore crest-fallen multitude I never saw, and the eyes that ventured to turn toward the prostrate figure, as they passed within a few feet of ber, bad shame and con- trition in their glances. Only once she whis- pered, as a haughty-looking boy went past, ~ Thatis the one that kicked over my basket. I wish I'd aw’ let him gone to smash!
