Last Thursday, Nov. 25, Mr. Robert Bate'5, section foreman, very narrowly escaped being run over by the freight train. He was inspecting the rail- way track between Dundalk and Pro- ton stations, and, although aware that the freight train was close behind him. he somehow missed hearing or seeing it until it was right up to him. He jumped from the track, but not far enough to escape tho bumper, \5thich hurled him sixteen or eighteen feet over the embankment. .A. high north wind blew the smoke and steam back over the engine so densely that the engineer did not se.e the man in time to do anything. Fearing he had run over him, he stopped the train, and, to the immense relief of the terrified crew, they found him in the ditch, alive. The Dundalk doctors were im- mediately summoned, who, after an examination, found that his injuries were chiefly a few broken ribs and a bruised body. Up to the present nothing more serious has developed and Mr. Bates is thankful for his es- cape even though it was by the nar- row margin of a few inches. CEYLON Mr. A. C.

A REAL HERO A striking example of chivalrous sacrifice, or heroism, wa.j displayed last week in the City of Timmins, when a young man accented a year's sentence of imprisonment to save an acquaintance. It appears he was driving a car last July with a lady to whom he had just been introduced by a mutual friend. The lady expressed a wish to learn to drive and was at the wheel when she struck another woman on the ankle. Gangrene developed and the woman died. \i the trial, the young man, who was a Toronto Uni- versity student on a prospecting trip, accepted all responsibility for the fat- ality and went to jail. But the end was not yet. His lady companion, who had not been summon- ed, on learning of the sentence noti- fied the authorities that she alone was to blame as she was driving at the time. As a result of her action she is now facing a charge of man- slaughter. Viewing the actions of those two people, who can say the days of chiv- alr.v are over? While the victim of the unfortun- ate accident has undoubtedly died, the circumstances surrounding the fatality would warrant the Crown in taking a lenient view of the case. The presiding judge at the trial ex- had a car of western oats unloaded on i '''^ "^'^^'^ "^'"^ P'°"«^'" '"'^'^^''^ °* ^^.,..„ ^ Monday. !
