infant She fell upon her knees on the
platform and succeeded in securing
hold of the child's dress, and dragged
him from certain death. The brave
young woman'S nerves were shattered

She swoOned into seat in the sta

The identity of the child was at first

A nurse alighted neryously from The
end coach and made her way into the
station. The child. o-year-old son
Of III. Caster, of Narberth, had been in
her charge. She had searched for him
in vain in every coach. When she
