KEPT VIGIL BY A CORPSE.

For two days Charlotte Campbell
kept vigil in dark room by the body
of her husband, who had died OF starva
tion.
When the police broke into the Camp
bell cottage, No. 1776 Atlantic avenue
Brooklyn, n. y, tuesday night, tbey
found her huddled there with her head
in her hands, and hardly rag over her
On the bed lay the body of Leonard
Campbell, his glazed eyes staring at the
ceiling.
it was difficult to arouse the woman
from her stupor, but when at length
she raised her wan face she murmured
hoarsely:
"He was so proud 80 proud"
Leonard Campbell's body-it was lit
tie more than a skeleton-was taken to
The morgue, and Charlotte Campbell
was carried to st. Mary's Hospital
They asked her some account of the
way her husband had come to die, but
all she would say was:
ave were SO proud He was so
proud -
She will die. The doctors are sure OF
that. No woman could live, they say,
who mad been through such an expert
ence Her mind has gone, quite, and
she will doubtless continue her parrot
ike murmur until death relieves her of
the recollection of her husbands pride.
1t was partly from the neighbors and
oft ha cto q
that the story was learned. Leonard
Campbell, sixty five years old, could not
bear to accept food from strangers.
They would willingly have fed him,
but the mere suggestion of it made
him furious. His wife was not so
proud as he. When she found contri-
buttons from the tables of her neigh.
bors in her home, she would make
haste to conceal the bread or meat, or
whatever it happened to be. When
the old mans back was turned she
would devour it secretly. That was
why he died some days before she WAS
ready to die, although he was much
stronger than his wife to start with.
So proud was Leonard Campbell, in
deed, that he would not even accept
the help of his own son. His boy, Bel
jamin, who is sixteen years old, earns
So week, and for nearly year the
family of three made shift to live on his
wages. During that time the boy
shared with his mother the occasional
scanty bounty OF their pitying neigh
b0rs. But the disease of pride was eat
ing into the old mans heart, and two
months ago he drove the boy out OF
doors.
81 don't want any OF your money,
either!" he snarled. "I'll not suhsist
on the earnings of a boy Begone y
At No. 1896 Atlantic avenue live the
Mahoneys. Mary Mahoney was very
sorry for the Campbells, whom she
knew to be starving She often took
food to Mrs. Campbell, but she di not
dare to do so when the old man was
there. The last time she saw either OF
them was on April l, and then they
were both very feeble. Yesterday she
knocked at the door but got no answer.
SO she went to the Schenectady avenue

A RICH PILFERER-A dispatch from
Northampton, Mass says Miss that Car
oliue Belle Nealley, who was graduated
from Smith College last June, is the
mysterious person who has been rob-
bing Students rooms in the college for
the past month. She was captured
there Tuesday, has confessed her crime
! and is nov in the county Jail. The en-
tire community is shocked to learn
that a former student is the culprit,
and President Seelye is greatly disturb
ed over what he terms the terrible
affair."
Miss Nealley is an orphan whose
home is in Dover, N. r., where her
guardian, an uncle, now lives. She
has plenty of money in her own right
and had only to ask her guardian
for it.
Since her graduation she has been in
Boston, but her occupation there is not
known and the police there will not
give her address. She can not explain
her strange propensity except to say
that she had an overpowering desire
for money, and thought that the easiest
way to get it was by stealing from for
mer college mates, who, she knew, had
money, which they left around in their
rooms.
