It was far heavier than ours, and I knew that if anybody went off the track it wasn't going to be the coal train. I said a moment ago that we had no w omen aboard. I mi an we had none to speak of. There was one, but she was a homely mountain girl, who didnt seem to know anything, and because she sat quiet in the corner and elidn't scream we thought the didn't amount to enough to count. I was looking at her in a dazed kind of way, when all of a sudden she lit out of scat as If she had been shot out of it, and, knocking everybody out of the way she dashed out-the rear door before anybody could touch her, and we thought she had jumped off, but she hadn't.

By George, as that girl stood there In her plain calico dress and herbld sun bon net and watched that train pile up at her feet, I thought that Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Grace Darling and the lot of them weren't a patching to her, and. as far as we were concerned, they weren't. She had saved our train and our lives, and we took her on with ub in triumph. Then we made up a purse for her big enough to buy a farm -- with, and-4bet shes got more good clothes and jewelry and books ami trinkets and things than any girl in the mountains, for w never forget her.
