Keller, fell from the second floor of the apartment house *.o the ground below, a distance of about 20 feet. Every person seeing the child fall front'the window was al most paralyzed with fear for anstant and then dozens rushed to him, only to find that he had sustained but a few bruises and scratches and was not seriously injured. Mrs. Keller had left the little boy in charge of a nurse and had stepped across the street to the Carnegie Li brary. She had Just come from the building and was standing on the steps of the library talking to another lady when she" BRW her baby falling.

This can not be described exactly as a miracle, the distance from the window to the ground is tully 20 feet and it does seem that the child would at least have sustained several' broken bones and it might have been killed. ??ceoncaiuu. u_-UJK^~L~->vva?u^w??s; lil DUPONT POID BLOWN UP--IN (By Associated Press.)
