the third story and could not escape by the
stair case. She then went into the room i'm
mediately under her own, and on her pre-
senting herself at the window the persons
below called on her to take courage and OBJ
serve their directions. and they would save
her. They then, to the number Of ak or
eight, or as many rs could jnin, formed a
circle, each man extending his arm horizon
tally, and grasping with his right hand the
left, and with his left hand the right of the
man opposite, their arms crossing. They
then told her to kneel upon the windowsill,
and to incline her body in such way az to
free her head from the wall, and to fall side
ways. All being ready. she threw herself
from that third story window Not a man
drew back from the imminent, peril to which
each man was exposed. All stood firm. and
the poor woman was received in safety on
the platform Of hands and arms nerv.
ed by noble human hearts without any in
