NEW YORK, April 11.-Miss Grace

day but. being a modest heroine, few
knew OF It until today.
Albert Nevins. aged eight. and Al
fred Anderson, twelve, Of Shore View

lots when Albert tripped over a vine
and fell into a we'll in which there
were some six or seven feet of water,
Alfred is said 10 have run away, for
assistance or in fear. Albert sank
several times. When his feet struck
bottom he would spring upward, gain
a quick breath and fall back into the
water. In that way he kept himself
from drowning, but was growing
very weak when Miss Smith heard
his splashlngs.
She was attired in her Sunday best
but did not hesitate Running to the
edge of the we'll and seeing the boys
plight and that none other was near
enough 20 be of service, she knelt
down. then lay down upon the ground,
reaching the tips Of Albert's fingers
as he rose She held him above the
water a moment then drew him up
a few inches and changed her grip,
one hand at a time. until she had a
firm hold upon his wrists. Then she
pulled him over the edge and out OF

MULE WINS RACE WITH TRAIN;
DUMPS OWNER IN FAST RIDE
Erie Engine Said to Have Run Out
OF Water Trying TO Keep Pace
With New York Animal.

PORT. JERvIS, NJ. Y. .NAril li--A
mule won race against an Erie
freight. The animal never had seen
cars before Henry Ebert. it's owner,
introduced the situation TO the mule
by riding to town as the freight was
approaching.
The mule with Ebert astride ran
down the tracks ahead OF the locomo
tive. Ebert had been In the German
army and thought to wind the beast
before proceeding far. Not so, for the
further the mule ran the more wind
IL seemed TO have. The riders wind,
however, gave out on a curve as the
sure footed animal jumped a culvert
and left It's owner In the ditch.
The parting of company with Its
owner lightened the mule and IL tore
on with renewed speed until II reach
ed Long Eddy, four miles distant,
where IL left the track.
The engineer stopped for water az
Crane, mile this side OF Long Eddy,
and witnesses OF the incident accused
the engineer OF running out OF water
in trying to keep UP steam enough
to keep pace with the mule.

TUNNEL BUILT FOR

terially. But now, when the tunnel
is nearing completion. II appears tina;
the Improvement OF the passenger
traffic was secondary and almost
negligible consideration with the pro
jectors. II is the freight business
that counts with railroads. and IL was
to mainly increase the efficiency ri
its freight service that the tunnel was
built by the Michigan Central.
There is bound To- be considerable
delay in transporting freight cars
across the river" said w. S. Kinnear
chief engineer OF the tunnel Under
our present system every car Is de
layed from three TO five hours, be
cause there Is so much switching tC
be done in the various yards before
the cars are finally loaded on the
transfers. The tunnel will do away
with much Of this switching. There
will be none at all in the lower yards
The cars will be taken from the up
per yards directly into the tunnel and
landed a considerable distance away
on the other side. We estimate that
we will save about four hours time
per car on the average. This means
greatly increased business. and ex
plains why the tunnel was built
The saving In time In the transfer
OF passenger trains will not amount
TO a great deal. | don't suppose II
will be more than 10 minutes. The
customs officials must be reckoned
with, you know. We can't get away
from that"
The increased freight traffic that
will result from the opening of the
tunnel will undoubtedly go long way
toward paying for the tunnel CUES
toned on this point, Mr.. Kinnear was
not prepared TO commit himself
That would be rather difficult
matter 10 estimate" he said. THE
fixed charges on an investment of this
kind are enormous. but, OF course. the
increased facilities for handling
freight will add greatly TO the roads
revenues. II we had not thought so
the tunnel never would have been
built"
