"I was engineer of the first train
Out ran 'on the 1B. Ii, and IC Rail-
road through the hemlock wilderness
of Northern and Northwestern Penn
Sylvania: The region then abounded
111 hens kinds of wild animals, for
It was as near a primitive country
as might he'. I remember that on
that round trip --the. road was only,
30.1111es long—we saw six bears, a
wlcat
ld and three deer, besides the.
s door I em speaking about,
"Tho bears peered out f1'om behind
e trees and bushes as tho train sped
along, and the wildcat followed
along with us by bounding from tree
to tree, for more than two miles.
t Then I gave my whistle a toot, and
away he went into the woods as if
the. old boy was after him.
"Just before we reached what teas
called Long Gravel Cut, a narrow
pass a mile long, with high steep
banks on either side, out of the
hushes at the right of the track, and
perhaps 100 Feet ahead of my engine,
bounded a big buck, square on tale
track. Re stopped in frightened un-
certainty, gazed for a second in big -
eyed astonishment at the approach-
ing train; and then turned and
bounded into the cut.
15 THE CST.
"Neither my fireman nor I could
see how that could but be fatal to
the deer, because he could not escape
from the cut until he reached tho
other end, and at that end of the
cut a half -mile trestle started right
in, so that unless the deer could run
a half mile of open railroad ties or
Jump a forty foot gully, 11e might
Just as well have stood still and let
the train run over him.
"The road was downgrade
through the cut, and I thought I
would see whether a frightened deer
could travel faster than a railroad
train or not, so I pulled her open
and let the train slide. I don't be-
lieve we were much more than a
minute going through that cut, but
the deer kept a good ton yards'
space between himself and 'the en-
gine with ease. The road took the
long, high trestle at the end of the
cut by quito a stiff curve, and at the
left was ILane's Gully, a ravine 40
feet wide and eight feet deep.
"If the buck attempted to cross
the open trestle he was sure to fall
between the ties and tumble into
the hollow over which the trestle
carried the railroad, and for him to
leap tho gulley seemed impossible. A.
tragic end threatened him on every
hand. That buck knew his capacity,
however.
"When ho got to the end of the cut
lie left the track, paused an instant
on the edge of the ravino to gather
himself, and then shot across that
40 feet of chasm as lightly as 0 he
were jumping a six-foot ditch, clear-
ed it with more than n foot to spare
and bounded away into the forest.
"X began to hold my breath when
I saw the buck gather himself for
that stupendous leap, and I don't
believe I began to breathe again un-
til we had crossed that half -mile
trestle. The leap of that deer across
that apparently impassable chasm
was a grand and thrilling sight, and
if the people who scoff at the idea of
a deer's being able to leap 35 feet
had seen it I. think they would agree
with me that it isn't so much a
question of how far a doer can leap
