is "a child who has saved her mother
from death-death under the grinding
wheels of a locomotive tearing along
the rails at 60 miles an hour.
The child is 12-year.old Katie John

Mrs. Johnson would be in her grave
now and Katie a motherless little
schoolgirl. But Katie kept her wits,
where another child might have lost
them.
The train was the Ave o'clock mail
from Philadelphia. 1t was behind

catch up to his schedule, so he pulled
the throttle out to the last notch He

city and was about 70 take the bridge

He threw over the throttle and
jammed down the brakes-the child's

of the locomotive wasn't 20 feet from
the little girl when the wheels stopped

She had tried to walk across the
bridge and had slipped. falling be-
