Chicago.-Albert Matthew is an art
old. He lives with his mother, and is
her sole support.
At about II o'clock one night recent.
ly 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
frail woman in long black coat and
hat with q big black willow plume.
She had stopped. In her arms was
bundle wrapped in yellow paper.
It was large bundle.
Matthew stopped because it struck
him. as strange that q, 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 1t into the water. Then
she turned and fed.
Matthew saw the package drop,
heard 1t 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 Is minutes later G. W. De

the bridge to take train. They saw

they have nobody to play on it and they
need it in their business. In other
words they want something doing inthat

has so little business that it don't amount
to shucks. Judge Kneeshaw held court
