again: the
rumble of a trolley-car on the bridge; the "honk-honk" of an automobile;
the cry of a newsboy. Slowly their breath and their senses came back.

The man's first thought was to get out of the cut before another train
should come. He grasped his companion's arm and started up the steep
embankment, realizing as he did so that the wrist he held was slender, and
that the sleeve which covered it was of the finest cloth.

They struggled up, scarcely pausing for breath. The steps at the side of
the bridge, made for the convenience of railroad hands, were out of the
question, for they were at a dizzy height, and hung unevenly over the
yawning pit where trains shot constantly back and forth.

As they emerged from the dark, the man saw that his companion was a young
and beautiful woman, and that she wore a light cloth gown, with neither
hat nor gloves.

At the top of the embankment they paused, and the girl, with her hand at
her throat, looked backward with a shudder. She seemed like a young bird
that could scarcely tell which way to fly.

Without an instant's hesitation, the young man raised his hand and hailed
a four-wheeler across the street.

"Come this way, quick!" he urged, helping her in. He gave the driver his
home address and stepped in after her. Then, turning, he faced his
companion, and was suddenly keenly aware of the strange situation in which
he had placed himself.

"Can you tell me what is the matter," he asked, "and where you would like
to go?"

The girl had scarcely recovered breath from the long climb and the fright,
and she answered him in broken phrases.

"No, I cannot tell you what is the matter"--she paused and looked at him,
with a sudden comprehension of what he might be thinking about
her--"but--there is nothing--that is--I have done nothing wrong--" She
paused again and looked up with eyes whose clear depths, he felt, could
hide no guile.

"Of course," he murmured with decision, and then wondered why he felt so
sure about it.

"Thank you," she
