SAVES WIFE
AND BABE IN
ICY WATERS
Barge Cabin Swept Into Staten
Island Sound in Strange
Collision.

ELIZABETH, Jan. 9.-Mrs. Gustave
Carlson, of the barge Dennis A. Ken
nelley, with her infant son. Raymond.
In her arms. stood in the cabin yester-
day watching the efforts of the tug
Gerry to turn the schooner Eagle Wing
In midstream of Staten Island Sound.
Suddenly the schooner started to
swing and the great, overhanging stern
slowly but surely swooped toward the
light cabin of the barge. 4 moment
later the entire housing was torn from
the lighter vessel. and the woman, the
child in her arms, was precipitated into
the Icy waters.
The sound of the collision was heard
for almost half a mile, Carlson, cap
tain OF the barge. was on The decks a
furlong away when 1t occurred, He
ran at top speed to the waterfront
Just In time to see his wife, with their
child folded to her breast, sinking be-
low the surface for the second time.
without waiting to remove any of his
clothing except the heavy ulster which
he had donned as protection against
the biting blast that was sweeping the
waterfront, he plunged over and struck
out for the spot where the two had
just one down.
As the woman came to the surface
again he seized her. She was almost
unconscious and readily yielded when
he took the child from her arms. In
the meanwhile a crowd of 'longshore-
men had been attracted to the scene
and one of them threw out a lifeline,
which the stalwart barge captain
clutcbed In his teeth and, with one arm
about his wife and little Raymond en-
circled by the other. he was hauled
ashore.

stereoscope Coming Back.

The old-time stereoscope, the friend
of our childhood days is promised a
return to popularity in a somewhat
new guise. The old-time device has
been hitched to the latest phase of the
Photographic art and it may be but
short time before the modernized|
stereoscope will be seen in the par
lors and sitting rooms of every home
as they were once before. The NOV
ing picture machine has been made
available for domestic purposes. tt
is no longer limited to the auditorium
and the hall, but new camera, small,
compact, and easily operated and not
expensive, places the facility for max
ing these pictures within the reach of
the amateur. With the knowledge ac-
quired with little practice one may
make pictures which will catch the
merry twinkle of the eye, the fleeting
light of baby's dimple and the little
individualities which are lost in the
fussiness of the studio pose.

The First Officers Fist Caught
O'Rourke Just Under the Ear.

It became Immediately evident that
bis memory had not tricked him; the
trunk was locked. as he had left it
that morning. But the clasp had
yielded to cold chisel.
1t was hardly worth the trouble,
still O'Rourke rummaged through the
contents of the box, assuring himself
that the chamois bag was gone. So
far as he could determine then, moth
ing else had been taken.
He shut down the lid and sat down
to think it out, eyes hard, face grimly
expressionless, only an intermittent
peryous clenching and opening of his
bands betraying his gathering rage
and excitement. At length he arose,
determination in his port.
= One phrase alone escaped him:
fAnd not gun to me name!"
He went on deck. Already the trop-

But as he breathed this benediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting, hardly conscious that he had

to the night of an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with cry that

glanced into the hold, asked few
questions which would have been
pertinent had they not been entirely

gently on the arm.
Captain" he said quickly, "I'll be
asking the favor Of a word with ye in

Hole caught the CLEAN of the Irish
mans eye in the lamplight and
stepped back a pace.
Get forrard," he said curtly. "Carn't
you see the customs officer coming
aboard? I'll see you later"
"Ye will not. Ye'll hear me now.
Japtain-"
Hole backed further away. "Wot!"
ne barked hoarsely, raising his voice.
'Wot! I'll show you 'oo's master
aboard this ship. Get forrard to your
quarters! s'help-me-gawd!" he ex-
ploded violently. 100 ever heard the
like of it?"
O'Rourke stepped nearer, his fists
closing. Drop that tone, ye scud!"
he cried. "D'ye want me to spoil your
little game?"
The shot went home The captain
gasped, and in the darkness O'Rourke
fancied he lost shade or two of his
ruddy color.
"Wotcher mean?" he demanded, low
ering his tone.
Il mean" replied O'Rourke in a
quick whisper, that the Egyptian GUS
toms officer Is at the side. Return
what ye've stolen from me this day,
or III tell the whole harbor what
ye'va been up to! And, if ye want
word 'hashish' will refresh your men,
ory!"
"I'll talk to you later"
"Ye'll give me back me property this
minute or"
O'Rourke was at the rail in stride.
"Shall | tell him?" he demanded.
A swift step sounded beside him.
He turned an instant too late, who had
reckoned without Dennison. AS he
moved to protect himself the first of.
ficer's fist caught the Irishman just
under the ear And one hundred and
seventy-fve pounds of man and malice
were behind it. O'Rourke shot into
the scuppers as though kicked by b
mule. struck his head against piece
Of iron work and lay still, half
stunned. shutting his teeth savagely
upon a moan.
Hole and the first mate stood over
him, and the captains voice, guarded
but clear enough, came to his ear:
You'll lie there, ME man, and not
so much as "A whimper till | give you
leave. Take 'eed wot l says. Mr..
Dennison ere is goin' to clean is re-
volver."
ORourke lay silent, save for his
quick breathing. The first officer,
grinning malevolently. sat down near
at hand, keeping basilisk eye upon
the PROSTATE man while he fondled an
able-bodied hammerless Webley.
! Hole moved off towards the gang
way. whence his voice arose, an in
stant later, greeting his visitor. The
latter put a hurried question, which
O'Rourke did not catch, but the cap
tain's reply was quick enough:
Only mutinous dorg of a deck
] and. Wanted shore leave and refused
to go forrard when ordered. E amt
'urted none. Mr.. Dennison 'ere just
gyve i'm tap to keep him quiet"
The Irishman swore beneath his
breath and watched the first officer
The light from the lantern at the
gangway glanced duly upon the pol
ished barrel of the revolver, and the
cleaning line was steadily directed
towards O'Rourke's head. Upon re-
consideration he concluded to lie still
TO wait and watch his opportunity
for the present, at least, he was in
disposed to question Dennison's will
]ingness to use the weapon. O'Rourke
was to be kept quiet at all hazards
and he knew 1t full we'll; for once he
conceded discretion the better part O.
yalor, and was patient.

from small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation Of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as if that were not
enough kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
my dear! My dear!" she nurmured
in French. What has happened, O.,
what has happened? My poor. poor
boy!"
Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourlse
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water in his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all a dream.
And yet, when he looked it was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face of woman as beauti,
ful as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
shut his eyes again. "If look too
long," he assured himself she'll van,
;ish or-or turn into fiend Sure, it's
IA judgment upon me! Too long have
II been an amorous dram-drinker; this
will undoubtedly be the delirium-tre,

And with that he passed quietly into
