CHILD'S MARVELLOUS ESCAPE. M^, . ORDEAL OF A RAILWAY SIGNALMAN. A signalman named Lines, employed in the signal-box near Soham Station, on the Great Eastern Railway, (England) underwent an ordeal one day last lyumtli that was sufficient to try the strongest nerves. He had just signalled "Line clear" for the Ipswich express when, glancing towards the down line along which the express would pass in a few moments, he saw a little four-year-old girl named Doris Pryke, the daughter of the village butcher, crossing the line. It was too late for him to stop <ho express, he could not reach \,he chil.'T iii time to save her, and he realised that if he shouted to her she would be certain to stand still and look in his direction. Slowly tho little girl entered the fourfoot way, unconscious of the approaching train. As the express came into view she was approaching the outer rail and safety. The engine was within one hundred yards of her when she put one leg over the rail. Even then she was unaware of the race she was running with death. She raised the other leg, and now she was within inches of safety. The train dashed past, and Lines covered his face with his hands to shut out the sight. When he rushed to the spot he found the little one lying by the side of the line, unconscious, but alive. • Her escape had been little short of miraculous. Only the front wheel guard had caught her uplifted leg. and she had been hurled a. dozen yards, alighting on a heap of litter. A doctor who was summoned discovered that not a bone had been broken, and that she was suffering from nothing worse than a few bruises and scratches. Lumbago Bodj Belts at Gower s Pharmacy.
