shrieks OF the drowning baby.
Policeman Morrow was sent to investi.

crowd had assumed immense proportions.
The men formed solid circle ronnd
Morrow, who stood near the manhole
while he disrobed.
Morrow boldly jumped through the
manhole and alternately crawling and
swimming he made his way along the
sewer for nearly block till he reached
the supposed drowning baby. He dis

the rushing waters and cropping in the
dark he clutched something warm, which
gave miaou. 1t was a live kitten. He
heard another sound and CROPPED in that
direction and caught another live kitten.
The crowd quickly dispersed, laughing
over their fears for the supposed baby.
