Show W THE UNSELFISH UNION By May Meyer Geiser . (Publication arranged for by the fi, author.) Mary in the crowded street gs Rushed by to catch a car. g; It left her standing at the feet g Of a big man with a star, J3 Who gently took her by the arm 0 And said, "Don't be too rash, That car, behind, with no alarm ijj Would be most sure to clash." jfi She gazed with startled eyes at him And said, "Now I understand." ,;( Then turned to leave without a ij; whim ; When he reached out a friendly k hand. I'lj Next New Year's Eve the wedding $ bells . M For this young couple tolled; t-'i A host of loving friends and swells J ; Their marriage did behold. Followed by the honeymoon, With a trip high up in a plane, Yet they found but little time to spoon, Looking down on a moving train Going around the treacherous bend, When Mary gave a scream, "Oh Ted, just look, that flying train Will dash in the rapid stream." A dark red flash met the engineer. He cried, " God what is that." Another voice said, "stop right here, Something is wrong on the track." A trembling hand the' brakes .applied; .ap-plied; People ran from the moving train ; The governor cried, though terrified, terri-fied, "Our hero is up in the air." |
