ed train was passing down the inclinein the tunnel, one night, all the passengers were startled bya piercing shriek. A second and a third shriek followed,and then shouts of Stop the car! Stop, quick! camefrom the men on the platforms. The brakes wereapplied, but the horrible groans continued to come fromthe side of the car next the wall, where it Vvas supposedsome unfortunate was being crushed to death. Finally, thetrain stopped. Conductors and passengers swarmed overand around the cars, looking for the remains. Just as theconductor crawled on his stomach, under the car, a pealof jeering laughter rang through the tunnel, and half adozen young rascals scampered away as fast as theirlegs could carry them. The conductors were too mad toswear. The gripman suspected the trick at first, butsaid: •! had to stop. What if some one had fallenunder the car. I cant take chances. An electric road of forty cars will probably go in atPuebia, 100 miles from the City of Mexico. <^f\jwdV\aAi^^ 109
