" I ."Jenny," 1 said John Hughes to his daughter, a girl of fourteen, "I must have a doctor. You are the only per son to go for him. your mother being half sick herself. It is a wild night. 1 know, for a little maid to go out and walk two miles' to 'the doctor's; only the fear of my dying and leaving your mother and yourself In our present des titute condition for want of a doctor's skill makes me willing to let you go." "There Is no reason why 1 shouldn't go, father." said. Jenny, getting down a little ragged coat from a peg. , "Yes. there Is." said the father with the peevishness of a sick man. "You'll have to cross the railroad bridge, and rm afraid the wind will blow you off. Take the lantern, and be sure to take a box of matches in case you need to relight it There is no train down for more than an hour, but the op passen ger express is due in thirty-five min utes. It will take you five mlntues to reach the bridge and five more to cross ft. That will give you plenty of time. But don't attempt to cross in case you are delayed." : Jenny lighted the lantern from a wisp of burning paper and, taking a box of matches from a shelf, sallied forth into the darkness. It was but a hundred yards to the track, and she knew every step of the way so well that she could have gone over it with out the lanjern. Once on the track, it was but a short walk to the bridge. She dreaded to cross It for the cause her father had mentioned-that the howling wind might blow her off and down a hundred feet into the torrent Besides, she knew what her . father had known but hod not spoken that an engine or a train not laid down on the schedule might cross the bridge while she was on it But there was no stouter hearted maid in , that . region than Jenny Hughes, though she had never given evidence of it. She boldly set foot on to the bridge, stepping from tie to tie. Perer faltering till she reached point SBJ1BWSiSSMfc. . - Ch HwkAA-.V AAA Singer Sevinj Machine Store Machines E. C HER2IICGE0, M. S. over the torrent. ' Then, ; obliged 1 to brace herself against the wind, hear ing the roaring waters below, though she could not see them, she faltered. But not for long. The possible loss of her father, whom she den rly loved, gave her courage, uud she rushed on. She had crossed the center of the bridge and was entering upon a part under which was a stone support when she saw that one side of the track was considerably lower than the oth er. She knew that the abutment was giving way. and any train crossing the bridge would go down to its roll and the death of those on it To cross this part a distance of some fifty feet, was fraught with an additional danger.., The sloDin of th tu aide alone would force her to crawl 1 over them, and the bridge might go down at any moment. But she thought with horror of the train of which her : father had spoken and the people on it. who would.be hurled down Into the abyss if she could not warn them, and, forgetting the danger, crawled on to the slanting ties. , Bhe was obliged to go very slowly, but by dint of clutching a rail with One hand while she held the lantern with the other she passed the injured part and in a few minutes more reach ed the land on the other side of the stream. , She knew that ,she had been at lent twice as long as her fathei hud cubulnted she. would be and not more than twenty minutes, probably fifteen, would elapse before the ar rival of the up train. The thought of what Bhe must do to warn the engi neer made her incautious. Intending to take position as far as possible from the bridge, she hurried on. Sud denly she tumbled into a cattle guard. She was stunned and, worse than that, the light lu her lantern was ex- tinpuished. P.ut she pulled herself to gether, bunted for Its two parts that bud 'become separated, till she found them and taking her box of matches from her jacket lit one of them. Though tbi wind blew It out at once she hud time to wee that there wert not half a dozen matches in the box. She scratched another match and It, too, was extinguished by the wind. An other and another attempt was made till all her matches : save one wets gone. . For a moment she gave way to despair, then concentrated her little brain on the great problem of saving scores of lives. Tearing the skirt tt her cotton dress to shreds, she made a miniature tent of her coat scratched her last match under It, touched the flame to one of the shreds', placed oth ers over It, and In a moment her Ian tern was relighted. ,, This done, she cruwled out from the cattle guard and mri aloug the track, but now. more cautlouslr- Within a few minutes she heard th rumbling of the train and begun to wlng the lan tern. The brakes were whistled down and the train came to a stop. , When those on the train went for ward and saw the condition of the bridge, a chill cold as death ran through them, and when they saw the wee ragged child who bad saved them their gratitude knew no bounds. ' - That ended the poverty of the Hughes, family. The passengers who had been saved made up a fine purs for Jenny, and the railroad gave her father, who recovered, employment Jenny is sow the president's ateeor rapber. . . It vnn Ar. Ilk.
