AMHERST, (Nova Scotia). — A 13-year-old B6y Scout here saved two small children from beneath the wheels of a speeding train — but if a passer-by who saw the rescue had not told the story, probably nobody would have heard anything about it^ Lloyd Weatherbee saw two young tots wandering on the Tailway traek here at the same time he heard the wliistle of an express train. Hc pushed one child off the tracks in one direction •&nd lifted the other safely on the opposite side of the track. A kidaie car being pulled by one of the children was smashed by the train. Lloyd, his rescue performed, didn't stop to flnd out the children 'a names. I Nor did he bother to tell anybody about I the Qccurrence. It was left to a passcrby to tell the story two days later.
