SCENE 31. (Continued.)
Dalton’s face has lost its madness and has become like Donnelly’s; he approaches Donnelly, his gun falling to the floor; he tries to speak; Donnelly nods; like a flash he unties Donnelly; the two men look into each other’s face an instant; then grasp each other’s hand, making it plain that they forgive; they rush to the door which they tear and break down after desperate effort.
SCENE 32. Stretch of Railroad.
Train speeding along.
SCENE 33. Stretch of Railroad with Highway Alongside.
(Be sure to have auto moving toward train.) Follow swaying, madly-driven car containing Donnelly and Dalton. Obvious explosion of tire; auto stops; both spring out in dismay. Show futility; rush despairingly to track; suddenly Dalton points ahead with a glad cry; a hand car is on a siding close by; laborer tries to stop them from seizing car and is thrown down the embankment; they propel it away.
SCENE 34. Straightaway Stretch of Railway.
(Following car.) Both men working in half exhaustion; suddenly Donnelly collapses and pitches off the side of the car. Dalton tries in vain to push car alone up steep incline; seeing the futility he too drops off exhausted; is up again and runs on.
SCENE 35. Interior of Passenger Coach.
