was struck by the iron step of the moy-
ing train, but not only succeeded after
ward i'll boarding the train but walked
half car length down the coach and
tool! seat before discovering that his
leg had been broken. When he seated
himself i'll the car he saw that his leg
was bent at an angle. But even with
this discovery he did not realize what
had happened until he leaned over and
carried to Lula, Ga, where his leg was
temporarily bandagcd. Arriving here

fortunate Mt this timo when he has so
many important matters to attend to,
but he is enduring the pain and loss of
valuable time with the quiet courage
that characterizcs him alwaya,"
