Porter's Leap for Life.

, JL pewter at-podalming station, England, Walter Simpson, was carrying parcels across the .line when he saw that an express was almost upon him. He sprang for the platform with a great leap, landing on his knees. The train swept by, carrying away the heel of his right boot. Simpson believes that gymnasium training when he was in the army enabled him to leap to safety. 11 ■ - ■ ■ - 1 - ■■ rm ' '
