A TINY STOwAwAY.
Marie Huter's Advent on the
Steamship La BretaGne.

Marie Huter's Advent on the
steamship La Breta%ne.
New York Sun. 9
A tiny stowaway was discovered on
the steamship La Bretagnc in midoccan
five days ago. The ships surgeon was
the discoverer. The little one got its first
misty glimpse of land yesterday morn
ing when it passed through Castle Gar
den in the arms ofits happy mother Gu
rious juvenile passengers i'll the stcrrage
were told that their brard new cOmpan-
ion had been picked up from raft that
slipped off cloud.
1t wasn't very long after the baby had
emitted its first sea Squall that every
French woman in the cabin wanted to
see it and do something for ii. So 1t was
passed around and hugged ard kisse
with much feminine enthusiasm, and
voted to be the very sweetest little
daughter of Neptune that ever boarded a
ship. The hat was passed around with
the baby, and its father and mother,
Monsieur and Madame HutCr, of Alsace,
were 400 francs richer than when they
LETT Havre.
That wasn't all the busy little French
women did for the nautical kid. Under
the inspiration of Nine. Trouilly, sew
ins circle was organized, and all the odds
and ends Of silk and lace were fished out
from the corners of trunks and devoted
to the adonlment of the child of the sea.
Meanwhile there was a christening at
which a reverend passenger officated,
and the baby received the name of Marie
Josephine Bretagne Huter. If Marie had
been able to think, she would have doubt
less wondered whether she wasn't really
princess in disguise instead of the child
oftwo humble immigrants for who but
royal infant would be fine enough to
wear all the gorgeous wraps and under
wear that the deft needles Of the little
French women had created in three busy
durs. Marie's mother was vigorous
enough to bring her through the Garden.
