\ 17-months-old baby crawled upon the
window sill in a tenement in the fourth sto-
ny on East Seventy-Fifth street in New
York a few days ago. A man, whose
name is unknown, was passing the house
at the time, and saw that the child would
fall. Running across the street, he sta
toned himself at a point directly under
meath the window, and stood there with
arms outstretched waiting to catch the ba-
by. In another moment there was a loud
shrek from the women in the street as the
tiny bundle of humanity rolled off the
window ledge and came tumbling down
ward. AS it fell the man darted forward
and caught it fairly in his arms. The
mother rushed downstairs in a frenzy of
fear, and was overjoyed when she found
that the baby was safe and unframed.
Then she began to pour forth her thanks
to the baby's preserver. He merely bowed
and saying quietly, "I'm glad was able to
be of some use," walked away.
