ALL IN HER PAY’S WORK.
A few days ago an empty van which had been standing outside a teashop near Charing Cross suddenly began to move away down the elope of the road. Many people watched in helplees dismay as it began to go faster.. Every moment it gathered speed as it made straight for Trafalgar Square, where a line of traffic was crossing its path. Then a girl, one of the passers-by, rushed up to the moving van. Jumping on to the running board she reached over the door and managed to grasp the brake and etop the van. What might have been a catastrophe was averted by her courage and presence of mind. Before the lookers on had had time to find out her name or even to give her a cheer she had quietly slipped away and disappeared in the crowd. T t was all in the day's work; she wanted no reward or recognition.
