John E. Tasker performed an act which
may have saved the lives Of a woman
and her baby while riding in a Pullman
car from Worcester to Springfield Sunday
on the Boston & Albany railroad The
woman stood on the platform of the car,
holding her baby I'm her arms. The plat
form was enclosed and the steps were
covered with trap doors. 50 that every
/ thing appeared to be safe A sudden
jolt caused the trap door over one set Of
steps to open, leaving the woman stand
ing on the very edge Of the top stair, and
as her back was turned she was uncon-
scious Of danger. The train was moving
at the rate Of 50 miles an hour and had
the woman taken a single step backward
she and her baby probably would have
fallen to the ground. Mr. Tasker com
/ pretended the situation and made a quick
| dash for the trap door, which he closed.
a pallOr spread over the woman's face
when she realized what might have hap
pened and she expressed deep gratitude
/ to Mr.. Tasker.
