biIt saws that her prompt and heroic action
saved him. Others declare that Mrs. Dodge
could not swim and only plunged to the
rescue because she was in a nervous fright
and did not know what else to do. Even
this version, however, does not acqutt Mrs.
Dodge of the charge of heroism, for If she
was in a nervous fright it was because she
thought she saw a man drowning before
her eyes, and her action was just what 1t
should have been if she could swim.
The how of it all was thus; Mr.. Wander
bilt was giving a swimming party in his
pool, which is simply an artificial pond
separated from the ocean by wall, so as
to retain the water long enough to permit
the sun to warm it sufficiently to make 1t
swimmable. The ocean water at Bar
Harbor is usually too cold for swimming.
Hence the pool. Among Mr.. Vanderbilt's
guests were Mrs. Dodge and several other
young ladies whose names often grace the
society columns of the New York papers,
and two nephews of the host, Willie Sloane
and young Elliott f. Shepard, Is and IA
years old respectively. The boys were the
only ones of the party who knew much
about swimming.
Mr.. Vanderbilt could swim a little,
though, and therein lay his danger, After
everybody else had got wet and tired Of
splashing about he started in to entertain
his company by diving into the deep end Of
his pool, where there is 10 feet of water. and
fetching up at the shallow end. The trick
is not very difficult one, and George came
up with smile of triumph beneath his lit
tie black mustache after every effort except
the last. Then he staid down so long that
everybody got frightened, and when he did
come up it was with the touching appeal
'For Gods sake, save me. somebody!' aftel
which he sank again.
Then it was that Mrs. Dodge plunged in
Though she could not swim, she managed
to reach the drowning Croesus, and b,
threw his arms about her. This imperiled
the life of his fair rescuer, for it dragged
her also beneath the water, seeing which
the two boys took hand In the rescuinl
business and ultimately managed to dras
preserved and preserver safely ashore.
Mrs. Dodge is daughter of John Bige
low, who was United States minister t,
France in 1867, and sister of Poultne,
Bigelow, editor of Outing. She is about q
years old,

Mr.. Bradley went down from New York
city, where he makes brushes, to camp on
some lots he owned ct Ocean Grove, then
just inaugurated as a Methodist camp meet
ing resort. While there he explored the sur
rounding territory and concluded that the
adjoining 500 acres would make good site
for model summer resort. Thcreupon he
bought the land, cleared off the brush, laid
out streets and began to sell lots.
He has been selling Lots ever since, and
In every deed made out appears stipula-
| ton that no Intoxicating liquor shall be
sold upon the property conveyed. This
stipulation has made lots of trouble for

| locking with longing eyes and itching fin
gers on TIE alcoholic prosperity of Coney
Island, hnss murmured at the restriction
| and sought in various ways to evade it.
But Brother Bradley was bound to enforce
that clause though it kept him in the
| courts continually and brought him no end
| Of notoriety. Incidentally he found the no
toriety profitable and sold more lots.
But he had other troubles. He tried tc
close up all places Of business In Asbury
Park on Sunday, and that got in the papers
Then woman druggist whom he had ar
rested for liquor selling sued him for falls,
imprisonment and after IL years fighting
