died at party at No. % Lee avenue
was the startling telephone message
that came into police headquarters IN
Brooklys shortly after two O'Clock yes
terday morning, and the stunning intel
ligence was hurried TO the bereaved
father. The party was the tenth
celebration of the wedding of MI. and
Mrs George p. Jacobs, and among those
who had gathered in honor of the event
was Miss Ella Campbell. She was q

bright blue eyes and sunny checks, and
her lively, amsable disposition had won
for her the title OF the Captains Little
Princess. Every policeman in the
First precinct, of which Capt. Camp
bell holds command, knew The lit

/ all the manly blue coats standing dress

Won't create roar when they see me
coming in with my tin presents ="
IaughiDgly said Miss Campbell TO her
mother as she left her home. They'll
open this big package of paper imagin-
ing I've got al awful lot of things in it,
and when they find only this
tin rattle know they'll
die" During the music and dancing
that began when Miss Campbell arrived
at the Jacobs residence, that young lady

midnight luncheon was served and she
ate hearty, and seemingly with much
enjoyment, but when about TO accept q
proposal from a favored sutton for heI
hand in q waltz she suddenly leaned
heavily upon his arm and turning pale
whispered, 81 am ve-Y tired; 1 dOn't
tank shall be able to go through this
dance" Although not alarmed at this
seemingly passing WEAKNESS, the young
man et nducted her TO sofa beside hel
, mother. Mrs. Campbell had no ides
! that her daughter was st all indisposed
} and chatted in the merriest mood. II
an Instant, however, as she turned
! toward her child she saw that her face
: was ghastly pale; that her head
was dropping, and, with a cry
of fear SIZE attempted Il
clasp her daughter TO her side, when she
) fell over on the fl lor. The music was
hushed. smiles turned to anxious CLAN
ces, and when Miss Campbell had beer

frightened young faces surrounded hel
