NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Their lives in
terwoven from early childhood. Mary
Furlong, II, Of No. 29O Avenue c, and
John Quinn. Is, Of No. rs West Elev-
enth street, both of Bayonne, died
within five minutes of each other The
strange coincidence of the deaths Of
two friends caused much comment. and
many wondered whether telepathy or
unexplained psychological phenomena
had anything to do with the closeness
in time
The young folk became acquainted
when as babes they talked baby talk"
to each other. They played together
in the streets, making mud pies, and
in school fought each others battles.
So inseparable were they that they
were dubbed "the two links" Both
were active workers in st. Marys Ro-
man Catholic Church. Miss Furlong
was the organist while Quinn was
chairman Of the committee on church
work. Though the two never said any
thing TO their friends, it was assumed
that there was an understanding be-
tween them that in few years they
would be married.
Quinn was the first to fall ill and a
few days after Miss Furlong was
stricken. While both We're confined to
to bed in their homes. they exchanged
notes two and three times a day until
Quinn became so in that he could not
write. Then he sent oral messages
Immediately Miss Furlong grew worse
and was unable TO write. When Quinn
died in the afternoon a messenger was
sent .straightway 10 the Furlong home
but before he reached there Miss Fur
long was dead.

Some news about chiIdren's shoe

of childrens shoes and not so much paid to
the style there woSld not be as many de-
formed feet in after years and not near so
many men and women walking around on
one side of the foot or on the toe or heel
This comes from poorly fitting shoes, slices
that were bought without much attention
being paid to the fit when the child was grow
ing and the feet consequently were shaped in
the wrong way. To avoid these troubles we
are making a speciality of COMFORT shoes

wear right and feel right.

down by the semaphore below the
Rines hill crossing and as the shifting
engine with some cars was coming up

hear the other train approaching. Sam
Beaton, one of the yard men, was on
ton of one of the cars and seeing the
man on the other track yelled at him.
The other man did not hear and Bc3-
ton was obliged to call several times
in order to attract his attention. When
at last he was made to realize the
danger the train was close upon him
and as he made a flying leap from the
track the train rushed by. In jumping
he went over the edge Of the bank and
rolled nearly down to the river. but
aside from some slight scratches was
not injured.
