Kate soon realizes the importance of many of the messages which she sends, and how, in some cases, failure to transmit the magic signs would mean death to hundreds of passengers. One night she finds John lying unconscious from a fall on the floor of the station, a broken lamp by his side. She also smells burning wood. The telegraph key is clicking insistently, and Kate fights her way through the smoke to the key. She learns that a freight train and the western express are in danger of collision. Rushing out of the burning depot, the blind girl unlocks the switch and swings it open. The freight slips into the siding just in time to let the big passenger train go thundering by in safety. Kate is promoted by the officials of the road to a high position in their central office. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
