Miles first came Into public view two and a half years ago by a daring rescue he made at the burning of a tenemen*- house at Thirty-second street and Thir avenue. Golng to a third-story window of a house next door he climbed across the narrow cornice, slipping as he went and catching only by his finger tips Most heroism would have ended there and most heroes would have retreated.
