Keuatman. of 2125 gprlne Garden street.
A fair first-aider of this section had her
bandanes and various appliances neatly
packed In a small satchel nnd kept In
prominent place ready for emergencies
Looking out of the back second-story win
dow on day the saw a man fall off th
roof two doors below and lie on the CTound
apparently coveted with blood. She caught
up her lia,i. rushed down stairs and out of
the front door, tearing: her drapery pocket
on her skirt aa the knob ot the vestibule
door tried to hinder her progress. Down h
streot, through the alleyway she 'went,
The man must be bleeding to death. Sev
eral children nnd a few women hurried
after her to see what was tho matter, Th
gate of the garden was locked. Nothing
daunted and urged on by the man's groans,
she climbed tho fence and over she went,
while her curlouB followers hung on the)
wooden structure and looked on. One
woman fell down, covering her eyes with
her hands b'hn had never seen so much
blood But. alas' and alack! for all the
Kood Intention? of the fair alder. It was
just a roofei who had slipped off the ladder
with a pat of rtrt paint, a large pot at that.
He was somewhat Jarred, but the kindly
neighbors when they found no bone brnk'n
donated old garments to rub off the paint.
By this time the patrol wagon arrived on
the scene, ono woman having taken time to
telephone the accident to the police "All's
well that ends well," and notwithstanding
the "much ado about nothing," It might
have meant something, so the fair alder
ttlll believes In preparedness
