her home, at Two Hundred and First
street and Marion avenue. 10 the home
OF her mother, Mrs. A.. &. Fell, across
the street, Mrs. Emil Huber has been un-
able to collect burglar insurance on It,
The brooch was stolen from the home
OF the Fells. where she had left it over
night. A year ago all but two houses in
the street were robbed. The Huber house
was one Of those that escaped. After the
experience OF his neighbors Mr. Huber
took out burglar insurance Mrs Huber
two weeks ago took her baby out for
stroll.
She took her Jewels with her and as
she passed the home OF her mother ran
in there and intrusted them to her. The
bag with the brooch which contained
II stones. was inclosed in a silver chatel-
aine bag. Mrs. Fell placed 1t on the
mantlepiece.

Captain schultze, of the Bronx Police
station, who was called In on the case

IL strange that the burglars had left the

pieces of bric-a-brae ard silver on the
ground floor which they could have car

surance does not apply 70 the theft OF
the brooch because IL wassstolen away
from the Huber home. The insurance does
not follow the property of the insured.
and Is effective only when stolen from
the home of the insured.

SIGHT
AT LAST
RETURNS

Landsdale. Pa. May 9--After twenty
years OF almost total blindness sight Is
beginning to return to Mrs. c. NJ. Kirk.
OF this city. When the curtain that hid
her vision began TO lift she looked in
amazed wonderment at the faces of her
sons, whom she had not seen since they
were small children
Il have always looked upon you as
little boys. and now you are in a day
grown into men" she fondly told them.
Her grandchildren whom she had never
seen until a few days ago. although she
had coddled them and listened 10 their
childish prattle since they were babies,
she gazed upon with delight and curios-
ity.
For neither the sudden departure OF
her sight nor the equally unexpected
restoration thereof has there ever been
plausible sign assigned by oculsts.
- For taif t1c score uf years Mrs Kirk
lived as in a dense fog, in which she could
distinguish night from day but was un-
able 10 recognize either form or likeness
OF persons or inanimste objects. Grad
ually the pail OF darkness lowered and,
following an unsuccessful operation about
ten years ago. she became totally blind.
Now comes this wonderful restoration
Of sight. and she is able TO read the news
papers and distinguish faces almost as
clearly as of old. Eminent specialists
who have given attention to the case
say IL Is one OF the most remarkable
on record and entirely beyond their ken.
Mrs. Kirk has sent for the photographs
OF her son. Harry Kirk, who is In Balti-
more and another son In the Philippines.

as well as OF the two sons who are M
