"Ah, that was the time that my own dear mother received such a shock, Isuppose?" "No, ma'am, " said Will Garvie, "Gertie is thinkin' of another time, whenJack Marrot was drivin' an excursion train--not three years gone by, andhe ran into a lot of empty trucks that had broke loose from a train inadvance. They turned the engine off the rails, and it ran down anembankment into a ploughed field, where it turned right over on the topof Jack. Fortunately he fell between the funnel and the steam-dome,... which was the means of savin' his life; but he got a bad shake, and wasoff duty some six or eight weeks. The fireman escaped without ascratch, and, as the coupling of the leading carriage broke, the traindidn't leave the metals, and no serious damage was done to any one else. I think our Gertie, " continued Will, laying his big strong hand gentlyon the child's head, "seems to have taken an ill-will to railways sincethen. " "I'm not surprised to hear it, " observed Emma Lee, as she bent down andkissed Gertie's forehead.
