FL0E F0ILs RESCUE
Heroic Attempt of an Artist TO Save
an Unknown Infant Thrown Into

Supposed Mother. -..r-

Chicago.-Albert Matthew is an art,
list and an athlete He is l8 yeare
old. He lives with his mother, and is
her sole support.
AT about II O'clock one night recent
~ this young man was about to cross
the Madison street bridge, walking
down town from his mothers home
to save carfare. AS he neared the
west approach to the bridge he saw a
fral woman in long black coat and
hat with a big black willow plume
She had stopped. In her arms was
bundle wrapped in a yellow nanar
1t was large bundle.
Matthew stopped because it struck
MIN as strange that woman should
stand on the bridge in such terrible
weather. The woman abruptly raised
the package to her face Matthew was
amazed to see her desperately and
repeatedly kiss it. AS suddenly she
ceased, held it out behind her as If
not wishing to see what happened.
and dropped it into the water. Then
she turned and fled.
Matthew saw the package dron
heard it strike the water.
He imagined he heard soft little
wall as it bobbed about in the ice dot
ted stream.
Quick almost as thought the young
man climbed down to the dock be-
Meath the bridge. He stripped off his
coat and leaped in.
Perhaps 15 minutes later c.. w. De
Long and S. A. Martin were crossing
