The engineer of a train near Montreal saw a large dog on the track. He
was barking furiously. The engineer blew the whistle at him, but he did
not stir, and crouching low, he was struck by the locomotive and killed.
There was a bit of white muslin on the locomotive, and it attracted the
attention of the engineer, who stopped the train and went back. There
lay the dead dog, and a dead child, which had wandered upon the track and
gone to sleep. The dog had given his signal to stop the train, and had
died at his post.
