GIRL WHO SAVED
BABY IN SUBWAY
Miss Lydia Macpherson Risked
Life In Rescue, Then Mod
estly Vanished.

TRENTON, Feb. Mot long ago the
New York papers highly praised a cour-
ageous young woman who risked her
life in a subway station in order to
save that of q child who had fallen on
the tracks.
The name of the heroine was not
learned by the New York reporters, for
during the excitement caused by the
child's narrow escape from death the
young roma boarded q train and was
soon carried away.
1t has just been learned hat Miss
Lydia Macpherson, daughter of former
Judge and Mrs. George w. Macpherson,
of this city, was the rescuer of the
child.
Miss Macpherson was waiting for a
train when she saw the baby fall from
the platform to the rails. A train was
approaching and death seemed certain
for the child until the awe-stricken
crowd saw G young woman leap down,
pick up the baby and carry it beyond
the tracks, where she seized a rail and
waited for an express train to pass.
Baby and Heroine Unhurt.
Miss Macpherson was not injured, and
the baby escaped with a slight wound
received by falling.
When the danger had passed many
men ran to the aid of the young hero
inc and the child. who soon were on the
platform again. 3.
Then a train stopped at the station,
and after pushing her way through the
throng of people anxious to congratu-
late her on her bravery. Miss MAcpher-
son got aboard a car and was soon far
away. without having revealed her
identity.
