Rescued just In Time.


Mrs. Marshall. OF Kent street, Brook
lyn. returned last Saturday to her home
from Ocean Grove. n. j., where she had
spent the summer. Her trunks followed
her, and a good part Of Monday was
spent in opening the trunks and storing
their contents away.
While Mrs. Marshall was engaged in
this duty her crildren-Harry, aged D
years, and Flossie. two years his
junior-were playing and taking childish
interest in their mothers occupation.
After a while Mrs. Marshall was called
away TO attend TO other household du-
ties, from which she soon returned, and.
noticing Flossie's absence. asked the boy
where F1ossie was. He said she had gone
down stairs, but this hardly satisfied the
mother, who soon began TO search for
her little one.

time went on. and messengers were sent
about the neighborhood 10 continue the
search Finally Mrs. Marshall went Is
the room where she had been opening
her baggage. and there she saw that a
trunk which she mad left open was closed
and that its spring lock had fastened the
lid down.

He soon reached the house. and by means
OF artificial respiration restored the child
to consciousness. Her torn and bleeding
nails and the marks on the interior OF
the trunk showed how fierce must have
been the childs struggles when she began
slowly to suffocate. She must have
screamed. but her small voice was drown
ed. and as considerable noise was made

by her were not heard.
