How’s This, “Pedestrians?"

It was an inky black night and we were riding along a country road, when we saw a railroad crossing ahead. We stopped about a hundred feet from the tracks and peered through thw brush awl trees that lined the road. There up ihe track we saw a light moving toward us. The driver wished to move on, but I, being very nervous, objected loudly, so we waited at least five minutes. - The light kept drawing nearer, but the driver in disgust insisted upon crossing, saying it was .probably, a slow freight. But again .1 shrieked loudly, for I knew train lights were so deceiving at night and it must be nearly upon us by now. We continued waiting in the darkness for the (rain to pass, and as the light drey nearer we discovered our locomotive to be nothing more than a man coming down the track with a lantern.—Chicago Tribune.
