Head as haid as a stick of wood ; Just barst out In a loud " Hooray! " And went rlght on in bis don't-care way. But once - when the train was passing by, And the editor's child on the track- Oh, my! Jim- he rnshed with his same don't-care Right in front of the engine there ! Child was saved, but where was Jlm? Wlth (iamlng lanterns they looked for Mm, Wliile the people trembled and held their breath, Under the engine, crushed to death!" There in the dust and grime he !a' - Jim . . . he had given hls lifeaway! Not much need of their tears for him; "He was an antrel - that boy, Jim! "
