crouched behind a closed carriage and
waited. Through the darkness loomed
form, then another, silently as
ghosts.
"Are you there, CharlieT whispered
Officer Stephen Gill.

Into the black carriage Mrs. Nc
Adam and her two children were tumbled
The special officer sneeZed and was
kicked by Charlie. Then the latter
whipped the horses and drove over a
circuitous route TO the railroad station.
Disguised by whiskers, he was not rec
ognized. Mrs. McAdam and governess
drew their wells. Once in New York,
Charlie saw the little party safely
aboard the train for Montreal.
Then he breathed freely.

The villains had been foiled. Once
back in Sea Cliff, Officer Charles Wit
tenberg changed his white beard for
a pair Of red sideboards. For week
he searched the streets for strange
faces. lie examined the loose boards
and alley-ways. Then he telegraphed
to Mrs. McAdam, who was with her
mother In Montreal.
THE kidnappers are gone" was his
message.
Mrs. McAdam came back. Yesterday
she obtained a permit to carry re-
volver She told of the robbery in
the home Of II. f. Nelson, her neigh
Dor. Mrs. McAdam said she believed
the robbery a blind to cover up an at
tempt on her home. The next night
there was a noise in Mrs. McAdam's
home. A broken window pane was
found in the cellar
Mr.. McAdam, Of the construction
firm Of John NJ. McAdam g. Co., OF 20
West Thirty-fourth Street, was skepti-
cal of his wife's theory yesterday.
"She's very nervous" he said. You
see, only recently she obtained a legal
separation from me. Besides that there
have been several robberies in Sea
Cliff and they must have upset her"

MEDICINES SAVE
PRAYER VICTIM
Nurse RoutS "MeeSter
Zollo," Devout Leader,
from Sick Room.

When Concetta Cesrio opened her
eyes again yesterday afternoon the
faded roses of the bedroom walls, which
for days had been pressing in on her
narrow chest, had retreated TO where
they belonged. Her first dizzy glance
found many changes. There were clean
sheets on the bed. in place OF the family
quilts, and a clean cover on the table.
Across the background a person who
sparkled with cleanliness. from the
gold rims Of her spectacles 10 the hem
of her snowy apron, was fitting.
Concetta identified the pounding
which had awakened her as a tapping
at the door. She became aware Of her
mother, at sight of whom she seemed
to hear again an endless sing-sons Of
prayer, somewhere else in the back
ground-opening the door.
"Who is it," demanded the snowy
person, in whisper.
"Eet is Meester Zollo," answered
Concetta's mother. "He have come 70

reminded Concetta OF the way her

went away without more ado, and with
his going the Christian Assembly IN

LUCIA Cesrio. Concetta's mother, Is one
of the hundred-odd residents of the
East New York Italian colony who have
turned their backs on the Church OF
Rome 70 follow the sainted Carmine.
There is some doubt as to what Car
mine and his wife teach, doubt raised
by their own denials. But when seven
year-old Concetta developed severe
cold ten days ago her mother doctored
her with prayer instead Of with medi-
cine. When the cold graduated into
pneumonia It was Zollo Mrs. Cesrio
called and not a physician.
Nightly thereafter, while Mrs. Cesrio
prayed at her daughters bedside, de-
vout members Of the Christian Assem-
bly met in the store-church and loudly
besought divine assistance in the night
against death.
IL Concetta's teacher in Public School
1855 had not decided TO investigate her
continued absence the child probably
would have died, for despite the sup
plications of the Zollites the pneumonia
germs kept thriving and her chest
shrinking. The teacher spoke TO Con-
cettas brother, Tommy Cesrio, and as
result Of what he disclosed a Health
Department physician was sent post
haste 20 the Cesrio rooms, at 10 Rock
away Avenue.
Law Gives Child Aid.
The physician was told his services
were neither required nor desired. He
reported the case to the Brooklyn So
cietv for the Prevention Of Cruelty 10
Children. The society's medical ex-
aminer, DR.. Ebba A. Dederer, was sent
with two agents TO investigate. He,
too. was turned away. But when Con-
cetta's father was threatened with
prosecution he suffered a change OF
heart.
LET the doctor come" he said. "Per-
hape it is as well"
DR.. Carlo Spadaccini, of 1883 Herki-
Der Street, was put in charge of the
victim of too great faith, and the Chill
dren's Society sent Miss Grigg to help
him.
Miss Grigg was in absolute command
of the household when a reporter called
yesterday afternoon.
"The little girl was just at the crisis
when the doctor and | arrived" she
said. There is chance, OF course,
tina. she would have pulled through on
the prayer dOctoring, but
Miss Grigg, R. ", shrugged her
shoulders.
"As it is now" she continued, 81
think Concetta will recover"
Mrs. Cesrio, though she still prayed
when Miss Grigg could think Of nothing
else for her to do in the way of mum
dane assistance, was resigned to the
advent of medicine.
"Concetta will get we'll" she assured
the reporter through Tommy. And
Tommy, in his role Of interpreter, put
to her a hypothetical question::
Would you still believe in the teach
ing of Carmine Zollo IL she died y
Certainly" was the reply. "She
