IMPOSSIBLE!
_____
She got on the
Pelham trolley car at Mt. Vernon with an air of one accustomed to riding
to and from the city, and no particular attention was paid her by the
other passengers. Nothing of any importance occurred till the car reached
the East 3d street bridge. Then the passengers, who were mostly
strangers, noticed that she began to look a little anxious towards ‘dead
man’s curve.’ The car went around the curve and started on again; she
began to fidget about, but a sigh of relief escaped her lips as the curve
in front of the residence of W.H. Sparks came in sight. The car rounded
the bend gracefully and dashed on down Wolf’s Lane toward the station.
Everyone noticed that she had turned ashy pale, and when the car stopped
by ‘The Pelham’ she jumped up, gave a shriek and fainted. The passengers
flew to her assistance and efforts were made to resuscitate her. The
conductor and motorman chuckled softly to themselves. An explanation was
unnecessary; they knew the cause. The trolley car hadn’t jumped the
track!
