The soldier laughed ou* of bis cyni-

The man who had not spoken or
taken apy part in the conversation
looked up with a quick, sidelong glance
that had something of tbe hunted ex-
pression (hat one sees iB the creature

the criminal before the rap is sprung
or the enemy at bay
“No.” he sald, slowly; “bravery is do

sifted in his seat and his regard was

the man of cloth with a contemptuous
scrutiny—"‘would you preach a ttle

The exponent of holy writ flushed an
indignant scarlet, and, ignoring the
questioner, addressed the soldier of the
fovial. bland countsbance.
“Have you ever experienced fear—

The scar on the old soldier's cheek
gathered up Into the wrinkles of his
smile, and with a wick out of the coroer
of bis fearless eye, he replied soberly
“Well, to shame his majesty the devil

“And you experignced thai at

There was a covert sneer io the
anctuous inquiry, and the divine turned
bis glance upon the veteran fullof »
lofty pity for such human frailty.
“But you never balked or turned
heel. 41d you?”
The soldier smiled into the grinning
face opposite. “No.” he answered. “I

“The baggage cars have caught fire
and they have uncoupled us,” cried the
stranger as he caught at the molten
brakes; then in a stified voice he said;
“The alr brakes have collasped. We
can do pothing and the chances Aare
that the bridge has given way.”
The clergyman stood on the first step,
ready for a plunge. “Man.’ cried the
others, “are you insane? You would
be dashed to death at the speed at
which we are going!”
‘There is but one chance”
The soldier and the divine clung de-
spairingly to the last hope and their
eager eyes plerced the darkness for a
sight of the ppepker’s fate By a pow-
erful thrust they found themsplves
back into the coach and heard the slam
of the car door. The interior had be-
come 8 furnace. The insensple mass
gathered momentum as It slid down
the ipelipe to the bridge below. The
men's faces were drawn into centuries
of horror at the hideous fate abead of
them. Nevertheless, the man of God
sank into the nearest seat and covered
his eyes. With true martial instinet be

of the seated passenger, and then he
continued: "We must {ake our turn in
