At that(very point Mrs. Mary Johnson, nurse in the household of Prof. Her-schel Parker, just'around the corner in Fort Greene Place, had halted her perambulator for a little chat with a patrolman, and In it, in the path of the automobile, was Cynthia, the two-months-old daughter of tbe noted phys icist and explorer. The machine waa on top of th group before 'either the. blnecoat.

Patrolman Bee of the Classon Avenue Station, or Mrs. Johnson saw-it. It waa the clat ter of Its approach that caused the policeman first to glanc and then to whirl around. Instinctively his hand went up in the air. but even as it did so, the automobile brushed him aside.

Next it struck the perambulator ahd burled it twenty feet, a wreck of wnat It had been. But In the Instant of time aha had to think; and act the nurse had caught the baby up Into her arms. It was only the Instant, the space that a breath is held. but It served. Cer talnly, there was In ner mind the Im pulse to run, but there was not time for She had not taken a step.

she had no more than lifted her chare from th carriage, when she, too, was struck and felled by the automobile. It struck her down and the right front wheel, psssed over her waist, but. in falling, th nurse held Cynthia so far from ber that th automobile did not so much as touch the baby. Ahd then the car atopped. It had smashed its way through the iron fence in front of Mrs.

from which the startled driver had iust descended, himself un hurt. It was this excited group that attracted the curiosity of Charles Naegle, Prof. Parker's brother-in-law, who was walking home in time for tea.
