"He'll be killed!" cried Mollie. Fascinated, the girls looked. On came the thundering train. The whistle blew shrilly. The young man increased his pace, but it was easy to see that he could not get off the bridge in time. HE'LL BE KILLED CRIED MOLLY FASCINATED THE GIRLS LOOKED ON CAME THE THUNDERING TRAIN THE WHISTLE BLEW SHRILLY THE YOUNG MAN INCREASED HIS PACE BUT IT WAS EASY TO SEE THAT HE COULD NOT GET OFF THE BRIDGE IN TIME
ns put up that morning. "I'm just dying for a cup of chocolate!" "We will eat soon," said Betty. "There's a nice place, just beyond that trestle," and she pointed to a railroad bridge that crossed a small but deep stream, the highway passing over it by another and lower structure. As the girls hurried on, the man passed them, off to the left and high on the railroad embankment. He gave them not a glance, but hastened on with head bent low. When he reached the middle of the high railroad bridge, or trestle over the stream, he paused, stooped down and seemed to be tying his shoelace. The girls watched him idly. Suddenly the roar of an approaching train was heard. The man looked up, seemed startled, and then began to run toward the end of the bridge. It was a long structure and a high one, and, ere he had taken a dozen steps over the ties, the train swept into sight around a curve. The road was a single-track one, and on the narrow trestle there was no room for a person to avoid the cars.
