FISH HOOK RECEIVERS BODY
Passengers From Passing Train Drag
River After Boy Is Knocked
Off Bridge.

Using the boys own fishing rod in
graphing for his body, passengers on
a Susquehanna and Western train that
had knocked Paul Colombo from
bridge near Rabbit, N. j., into the
river, succeeded in hooking his coat
and dragging the body to the surface.
The lad, who lived at Twenty-thfrd
and Palisade avenue, West New York
was fishing on the edge of the railroad
bridge with John Eichlar, when the
train due at Hackensack at 1886 came
along
The Eichlar boy just managed to es-
cape injury, the pilot of the engine
grazing his heel. The Colombo boy
was struck on the side of the head
as he tried to swing away from the
rail Engineer Vrooman saw the bow
fall into the river, stopped the train.
and the passengers hurried to the
scene. Several boys who were swim
ming near by dived time and again.
but without success.
Then the passengers took turns with
young Colombo's fishing rod, and final
ly the hook caught in the lads coat.
The body was dragged to the bank and
taken on the train to Hackensack.

CHAPTER XIII.
The ProdigaPs Departure.

The Prodigai's Departure.
Abraham was up betimes In the
morning to greet day crisp and cold,
quiet, yet with sufficient breeze STIR
ring the evergreens in the yard out
side to make him predict speedy
voyage.
The old man was nervous and eX-
cited, and, in spite of his buoyant
antictpatiOns, somewhat oppressed,
now that the day had actually come,
with a sense of timidity and fear. Still,
he put on bold face while Angelina
fastened his refractory collar and tied
his cravat.
This was neither Mrs. Homan's Of
fering nor Abe's own old, frayed tie,
but new black one which had mys-
teriously been thrust through the
crack under the door during the night
So, the last finishing touches having
been put upon his toilet, and Angy
having made ready by lamplight for
her own trip, even before the old man
was awake, there seemed nothing left
to be done until the breakfast bell
should ring.
Abe sat down, and looking hard at
his open carpetbag wondered audibly
if they had "everythin' in" The last
time they two had packed Abe's ward
robe for visit to Bleak Hill had been
many years ago, when Samuel Darby,
though somewhat Abe's Junior, was
keeper of the life-saving station, and
Abe was to be gone for a whole sea-
sons duty Then all Of his posses
sions had beenestowed in long, boil
ster-like canvas bag for the short
voyage.
Both Angy and her husband recalled
that time now-the occasion OF their
first, and almost Of their last, real
separation.

INJURED Angy very quickly, with a catch
in her voice. "Lookin' ahead. though.

Small Fish Ponds.

The American Fisheries society ia
theirs project that has already re-
ceived serious consideration in many
parts of the country, and should, If
put into practice, help to reduce the
cost of living. This project is the
creation of small ponds, an acre or
two in extent, on every farm large
enough to contain them. The ponds
should be, six or seven feet in depth
and furnished with vegetation suited
to the needs of the fish with which
they are stocked. AS no other food
would be required the cost of provid-
ing continual supply of fish would
be very small. Trout have been for
many years Matched and reared In the
waters of sporting clubs, and i'm
mense numbers Of them have been
raised for commercial purposes. In
a small pond fed by cold springs they
can be bred in great quantities go as
to furnish sport as well as food. Carp,
pickerel, cells and perch can also be
reared without great expense. Dr.
Charles H Townsend, the director of
the New York aquarium, has shown
his interest in the project for estab-
fishing these small ponds by prepar-
ing booklet giving detailed informa-
ton in regard to their stocking and
maintenance

CHAPTER XII.
"a PasseI of Meddlers.u

Angy's secret hope that Abe would
change his mind and abandon the
projected trip to the beach remained
unfulf1lled, in spite of the fact that
cold weather suddenly descended on
the South side, and the bay became
first "scummed" over with ice. and
then frozen so solid that all it's usual
craft disappeared, and the "scooters"
took possession of the field.
Abe and Samuel held stubbornly to
their reckless intentions; and the SIS
tiers, sharing Angys anxiety, grew So
licitous almost to the point of active
interference. They withheld nothing
in the way of counsel, criticism, or
admonition which could be offered.
'Naow," said Mrs. Holman in her
most commanding tones at the end of
a final discussion in the big hall. on
the evening before the date set for de-
parture, "ef yew're bound, bent an
determined, Brother Abe, to run in the
face of Providence, yew want tew
mind one thing. an wear yer best
set of hannels termorrer.''
"Sho. thar hain't no danger of me

Repeated Like Machine Gun.

The attention of the committee of
seventy is invited to the device en-
ployed in Santo Domingo to prevent
repeating; the voters hands are
marked with indelibile ink. 1t is re-
ported that some of the voters have
found it possible to erase the marks,
but it is not known whether they have
done this in order to repeat. At any
rate, the practice of marking man
opens up considerable possibilities in
the way of the publication of eiec-
lions. For example, in one of our
cities recently one-legged negro was
found to have voted six times. He
went to the polls once with an artifi-
cial leg, once with peg" leg, and
once with nothing but his natural leg
and a pair of crutches. By putting a
oandage over one eye and then over
the other, and on one occasion stick
ing some whiskers on his face, he man

had been nodding half asleep, reused

set against Angy's gentle persistence,
rose up in defiance:

'When?" asked Angy family, feel

finding it cool and healthy.

whereupon Abe looked little dubious
and lifted up his two feet, wrapped as
they were in the blanket, to deter
mine the present strength of his legs.
Don't yer think yer'd better make
