Surrendering to Fishers.
Peter Bresse, James Purcell and
William O'Neill decided to catch one of
the sharks whose fms for week have
been cutting the waters Of Raritan bay.
They trolled from a motorboat. There
was an abrupt jerk to the line in short
order. and then pull that sent the cord
burning thru their hands. They sent
their boat about, cut out the engine and
fixed the line to cleat near the bow.
Away off they caught sight of the
shark making for the high sea. The
boat followed. speeding thru the water
with more power and at faster clip
than the engine had ever driven it.
They ran for half mile with the big
fish doing the pulling. Then the line
slackened for q moment, but again they
were pulled away on another course.
For an hour and half the boat was
dragged up and down the bay and
across and back until finally, almost
dead from exhaustion. the shark gave
UP the battle and they lowed it to the
beach. where 1t died.

Some two months before the murder
was discovered, Hazel Macklin was
living in the family Of her uncle.
Charles Miller. Her parents had been
separated for some years and the waif
was thrown upon other relatives. One
day last fall the girl reported to Mil
Ter that she had met her mother in the
street car station, and that upon her
refusal to go with her her mother
said threateningly, Never mind, I'll
get you yet
When this story was repeated at

should be sent from South Bend for a

! Chicago Aug. 13.-Mary Alice Smith,
/ blue eyed, golden haired, and with the
boom Of Wisconsin meadows in her
cheeks-a bloom that four years as a
typist in a loop office building have
failed to obliterate-will leave in few
days to become the life companion of
Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Louisa"
Pankhurst on their 500 acre McHenry
county farm.
She was picked from legion Of Mary
Smiths and more than 1000 others who
applied to the local immigration bureau
for the privilege of becoming Aunt
Louisa's girl" She is the orphan who
was selected by the aged couple a few
days ago. Her name was not published
I at that time because it was not until
yesterday that Mark Crawford, who has
been handling the case for the imnigra-
ton bureau, officially made public the
choice.
From s12 Down to s..
Miss Smith will give up a job that
carries a salary of ST. week for the
of IS. At Uncle Jimmy's" death she
will receive $4,000.
But what counts more than anything
else is the fact that I'll have a home and
some one to love me-" said Miss Smith.
| And I'll be away from the city. where
unless you have home you are
nothing more than an inmate OF great
industrial prison. If it hadn't been for

leave my golf sticks behind. but am

The last was uttered with little
joyous sigh, for Miss Smith has not
had a real home for six years. She
is not a real orphan. for her Il !er
is living. but he Is married second
time and has a family OF his own TO
support Miss Smiths parents cane

Louisa needs a girl. You see. she
never had an education and can't read

things will be more than daugh;es

And SO Miss Smith will enter the
roomy farm house, where Aunt Lou

white bed always turned back for her
1t doesn't matter that over the door
might be the sign The Girl Who En-
