sat the can on a heated stove. With the
same thOughtlessness she lifted the I'D.

effort to prevent any damage, the girl
seized the blazing can and ran TO the
front porch.
Henderson happened to be passing, and
realizing the girls peril as she stood
confused and excited with the blazing
can i'm her hand he ran to her side,
grabbed it from her and threw it to the
ground. Flames leaped high when the
can turned over striking Henderson on
the hands and arms. He threw himself
and the girl backward i'm time to prevent
the sheet of flame doing further injury.
But for his quick action, the little girl
probably would have been severely
