At one o'clock the erder te sLirt wasglvcn?
I'nglneer Martin shut all steam rrem the ejl",

and Impetus down tii" mountain. Theblutls

It wasaluuer.il occasion. It was u death

started, but quickly it lelt the impetus el the.
descent. I'ngincer Martin teuclied tlie lever
tr the air brakes ami the little guage needle
sprang te indicate live and thou ten pounds
et pressure en tlie wheels or the train. Out
upon the iiiat blull el the mountain and
clear of the fei csts crept the little engine and
the train trailed around the euro where
seven -weeks befere General Graut, alive,
had turned te low the sime sweep ei alley
and mountain, with Saratoga lake glistening
in tlie sunlight ten inlles aw ay. And new as
the train rounded this outlook tlie general's
sons gazetl out upon tlie scene ami m.y hap
thought el the ether day as compared with

ucubs trcslles and through glens ami the
branches of ti ees brushed the car el death and
the shrubbery rcached up te touch the llut llut
tering black that enveloped tlie car in which
rode tlie lemains and tlie guard el honor.
Again the little engine led the precession of
cars out upon a blull whence the saiue iuw
referred te was seen from the opposite side of
the train. Sweopingabeuteuroaltereurve,
te light and lelt, the train passed slowly down
tiie mountain, whlle the tjuitt engineer con
stantly had his hand nu the lecr el the
air brakee!. At length tlie last turn
was leunded en the lower slope of
the mountain and tlie .sharpest grade
was euteied straightaway -i'Z feet te
the mile. The engineer, alert eery in
stant, dtewtlie little level, and the gauge

pressure ou the wheels. The train lolled en
toward the plain, steady and true. Away up
en the mountain by the famous eastern look

The little lllage el Wilten was reached mid

At tlie rate or eight or ten miles per hour the
