Atlantic City, ". j., July 2-Disarrayed
in a garb compared to which a bathing
suit would be Klondike costume, an ex-
tremely attractive young woman, said to
be Miss Belle English of Pittsburg, took
a stroll on the board walk this morning.
There were not many persons abroad
when Miss English took her unconven-
tional outing, but the excitement was out
of all proportion to the number of be-
holders. 1t is believed that the name the
young woman gave was fict-
tious, but the hotel where she
is staying is known and there
is general embarrassment among the fair
patrons of that fashionable hosiery. All
have taken occasion to-day to let it be
known that they never walk in their
sleep.
Michael Campi, a fruit Vender at the
foot of South Carolina avenue, was wait
ing for belated customers shortly before
1 o'clock this morning, when he saw a
figure approaching that shocked him as
though he had been member of the Bos-
ton Board of Education. He took another
glance, and, deciding that vicinity was
no place for him, spriuted down the board
walk, the figure gliding after him.
Before he had run to the next corner
he met Special Policemen Marmaduke and
Albertson. The fruit dealer was too ex-
cited to talk. He just suffered and point
ed out the direction whence he had came.
The policemen arrived in time to see the
figure emerge from a shadow and pass
into the glare of an electric light. Stead
ily it approached, and the bluecoats then
saw that it was that of a young woman
Of good hight, with black hair and big
brown eyes She looked at one of the
policemen with placid glance, and he
blushed as he inquired:
Don't you think you've forgotten some
thing?"
The young woman made no answer, but
kept on. Several persons were approaching
and Albertson decided that something
must be done.
'She is walking In her sleepv exclaimed
Marmaduke and Selling her arm, he shook
her sharply. Finally the girl started VIC
lently looked around her as if dazed, and
then, realizing her predicament, screamed.
"Hushw begged Marmaduke, you'll have
the whole island herer'
COCOON! what shall dor walled the
sonnambulist. blushlng furously and cast
ing a look at the tumbling breakers below
as though a haven might be found in
them.
Right CALAMITY did Marmaduke take off
his coat, and Albertsou did likewise Pec-
ed together they made a covering which
was gratefully accepted. A little crowd
of strollers had gathered, and so great
was the excitement that a cabman drove
up. The girl toddled TO the cab-for coat
buttoned around ones ankles makes a
tight skirt-and clambered in with diff
Guilty.
A policeman climbed UP beside the driv-
er and quick time was made to the Vir-
ginia Avenue Hotel The front was dark
but an open door was found. and the
awakened somnambulist entered. In a
moment white arm reached through and
two coats were handed out.
Thanks, awfully," said a trembling
voice inside. IT con get to my room now
And please. p-l-e-a-s-e do not tell ANY
one about this. Oh, it's a-w-f-u-lr'
There was a suppressed sob. and the
door and the incident were closed.
