in the Pennsylvania railroad yards which
was attended by circumstances that were
peculiar in more ways than one.
He had just thrown a switch and was

which might have cost me my life was

around again after the doctors had pro-
nounced me incurable. The trouble began
with a severe pain in the legs, and the
physician at that time said it was mus

l noticed that I was not as agile as used
to be and could not catch and climb a
moving car as readily as I once did. Then
came my narrow. escape and l gave up
work.
