sum Of human heroism as an example to
generations yet unborn.
Such case was that of Thomas Hay
enden, the artist who risked and lost his
life attempting TO save that OF a child
at & grade crossing. The story is not
new, but Il IS worth repeating. AT the
I so-caIled Trenton cutoff" of the Penn
RylVania road on an August morning In
1885 a party Of excursionlsts had left a
train and were crossing the tracks 10

country home at Norristown- The child
was no kin of his. He had never seen
her till the moment IN which he saw
her peril and Ieaped from his place on
the trolley to try TO save her from IL.

from the track They were found lying
