Is About to Take Plunge.
 A handsome young lady from Pitts burg, who is stopping at a hotel on Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, had an experience early the other morning that she is not anxious to repeat. While in somnambulistic state, bare footed and clad only in her nightrobe, she wandered down to the beach and would probably have walked into the ocean had she not been stopped by Special Policeman Marmaduke Albert son. There were very few witnesses of the feat, and she is so thankful for it's happy termination that she has promised Albertson a substantial re- ward. The young lady's name is Miss Belle English Officer Albertson de- seribes her as being rather tall, decid- edly pretty, with dark hair and lus- trous dark eyes The affair occurred just before o'clock in the morning. Mike Campi, who keeps a fruit stand at the merry -go-round, was standing outside of his place of business when he was startled by the appearance of what he at first thought was a specter gliding swiftly over the strand toward the ocean He called Policeman AL bertson, who started in pursuit of the white-robed figure. When Albertson came close to the figure be spoke, but received no reply. He then reached out his hand, determined to know the worst, but instead of clasping empty air, as he feared he might, he found his captive to be living, moving flesh and blood. A few vigorous shakes awakened the young lady, who gave sharp cry of surprise when she found herself in the grasp of a strange man. Then she realized what had happened and became almost hysterieal in her modification. She was treasured, however. when she found that her eap- tor WAS an officer. Albertson called carriage and placed the trembling girl in it, taking the precaution to throw blanket around her to protect her from the chilly night air. At her request he acccompanied her to the hotel at which she was stopping. The guests had all retired, and with a quick good night" to the policeman the young lady disappeared, entering the house through an open window. The appearance of the house indicated that the girl had escaped through the same window, after everybody in the house had retired for the night.
