to the policemen that they ascend the
tower by the inside stairs SO as to Sc
cure the crazy man when he reached
the top.
The three were almost exhausted
when they reached the platform
Kratz was still slowly moving upward
on the cable, ignorant Of the presence
of the police, who crouched down so
as not to be seen. When the climber
was near enough to the top the police,
upon a signal, bounced out and
grabbed him and dragged him over
the edge, where they threw him to the
floor. The dimensions of the plat
form are 25x15 feet. There is but
small iron rod around it.
Kratz, who seemed possessed of
great strength, made a lunge at Smith
with the Zor and cut his uniform
Then ths Russian freed himself and
bounded for the l2orth side tower. He
was aboGt TO jump from it to the river
when he policemen grabbed him. and
the desperate struggle was renewed.
The Russian struck out with both
fists, and when he could kicked the
policemen's shins. When clinched
the four swayed back and forth and
time and again We're at the edge, with
the Russian struggling with all his
might to shove his defenders over.
They were clinched most os the
time and it was with difficulty that
the policemen got their clubs into
play. When they did the insane man
fought with even greater ferocty
Blow after blow upon his head seemed
not to feaze him. but all of sudden
he wilted, his arms dropped Imply to
his side, and he reeled forward.
The policemen laid him out there
where the battle had been fought and
sat down to rest and get their breath.
Before Kratz revived his hands We're
handcuffed and his legs securely tied
with rope.
How to get the man down from the
top puzzled the officers. After trying
several ways they finally got kratz
onto Smiths back, and while the 9th
or policemen held on to an end of the
rope that was around the Russians
feet started the steep descent. 1t took
Them nearly half an hour to get down
to the bridge platform with their limp
| burden.

The VOGUE of Cut Jet,

The vogue of cut jet-those spark
ling, glinting black diamonds-is max
ing itself felt in dress trimmings. And
now is seen in an exclusive shop moth
ing less than jumper all woven of
cut jet. This is surely a short cut to
chic, for, worn with the proper back
ground, nothing could be smarter.
Another garniture is in something the
form of a square bertha with long
ends depending down the back. This
is made of filet net and lace, daintily
touched here and there with sparkling
jet This comes to us from France,
that home of clever ideas, and can be
made an accessory to various gowns.

most eggstrordinary fighter I've ever
