prevent striking the little one. Seeing
what was to be done if the child could
be saved, Mr. Foy crossed over the
front of the car, got down pronely on
the fender.reached qut when the proper
moment came and lifted the child nut
of danger, throwing him up on the
platform. The youngster Is a non of a
Polish storekeeper of Smlthvllle, rejoic

least.
