Bedtime Stories
The Little Foxes See Bowser
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Who heeds his elders and obegs
Wa surely leagthe7, out has days.
Mrs. Reddy Fox.

Over in the Old Pasture Mrs. Redty
Fox and the four young Foxes sal
listening to the voice of Bowser the
Hound as he chased Reddy Fox
Sometimes it was so faint that they
could hardly hear it. Again it would
be so loud that Mrs. Reddy would
grow anxious lest Reddy was heading
for the Old Pasture.
AT first the young Foxes had been
merely curious, but after their mother
mad told them about Bowser the
found the sound of his voice filled
them with strange fear. This was
exactly what their mother wanted
She wanted them to be afraid. She
wanted them to be so afraid that
always they would take care to keer
away from those places where Bowse1
the Hound would be likely to be.
Presently Mrs. Reddy got to her
feet. Come" said she. 'sFollow me
closely and don't one of you turn
aside. Keep at my heels" Then she
started off along an old COW path
through the bushes of the Old Pas
ture.
The four young Foxes obedlently
followed. The first one kept very
close to. her heels. The second one
was right at the heels of the first
The third was so close to the second
that his nose was tickled by the hair
on the end of his brothers tail. The
last one of all was, SO close to the
third that he almost stepped on his
black heels. They wondered where
they were going, but they asked no
questions.
Under the bushes and around
hi a. a 1ofa
way. At the back of the Old Pasture
was hill and the top Of this hill was
bare. It was toward TINS that Mrs
Reddy was heading. BY and b. they
reached the top Mrs. Reddv made
the four young Foxes lie down while
she. stole forward to see that all was
well. Presently she barked softly,
This was signal to the young Foxes
TO come. at once they ran out to
where she was lying down on big
fat rock. There without being tald
they lay down beside her. 1t was
funny to see how each one tried to
do just as she was doing.
Now, from this big rock on the tor
of the hill in the Cid Pasture there
was 3 splendid view. The vounp
Foxes never had been the before.
They never had been where thew
could look so far. So at first they
gave no thought to anything but look
ing. They could see all over the
Green Mesdows. They could see
Farmer Browns. Mrs. Reddy pointed
this out to them and told them that
there was where Bowser the Hound
lived and that never must they 60
near there.
Bat it wasn't just for the view that

Adriatic Relief Fund
Now Passes So, 600

A check for s100 was received yes
terday by Captain H. F. David, of the
White Star liner Adriatic, to be added
to the fund of more than $4,000 sub
scribed by passengers on the ship for
the relief of the families of the five
members Of the crew who were killed
in the explosionof coal gas in her hold
when at sea on August 10.
Accompanying the check was letter
from c. H. Clark, assistant cashier of
the National City Bank, stating that
the MONEY had been forwarded on an
order from the Fort Worth National
Bank, of Fort Worth, Tex, in behalf
of E. d. Farmer, of that city Mr..
Farmer, an old patron of the White
Star Line, according to Mr.. Clark,
took this means of expressing his
sympathy for those who suffered from
the accident, on reading the accounts
Of it in the newspapers.
Officials of the company said yes
terday that the cause Of the explosion
would probably not be determined until
the investigation which the British
Board of Trade is expected to conduct
when the vessel returns to England is
completed. At ST. Vincent's Hospital
it was reported yesterday that Edward
Donnelly, the most gravely injured OF
the three trimmers taken there when
the vessel locked, was holding his own
while Robert McCarty and Simon How
ley, the others. were improving

Ferry Channel in Shallow
Water at Fire Island En-
traps Charlie Forbes and
Billy Cowan, Eacl, Five
Mothers Watch on Shore
Frantic Parent Leaps Into
Bay After Son; Doctor
Fails 10 Save Forbes Boy

Two little nlaymates, Billy Cowan
and Charlie Forbes, were having a
wonderful time playing around on the
bay beach of Fire Island yesterday
while their mothers sat contentedly on
the shore. The water was not deep, and
Billy and Charlie. each five, were con-
sidered sturdy, seif-reliant youngsters
for their age
Suddenly Charles little sister cried
out. Quick as flash w. G. Scott, Of
Paterson, N. j., member Of their
party, jumped off the Fannie Fern,
which was locked at the shore. The
water was so shallow it scarcely rose
above his knees. He seized dark
floating figure and brought it in.
Two anguished mothers tore along
the pier to the boat and pounced on
the little wet body. 1t was Charlie,
With spark Of life still Auttering.
BILLY. Ny God, whore is Billy p
screamed Mrs. Cowan. Fully clothed
she jumped from the boat, her eyes
eagerly searching the still, treacherous
water Her foot struck something re-
aistant. Il was Billy-dead, on the
sand at the bottom of the shallow
water.
The party, which had a merry one
an hour before, started for home. Meet
ing the Bellport ferry, the two mothers
and their boys were transferred to II
and rushed to Beilport DR.. Charles e
Low pronounced Charlie out of danger
He worked for an hour over Billy bnt
could not resuscitate him. Last night
the ehild,s ody was taken to his home
at jackson Heights.
After luncheon yesterday Mrs. Cowan
and Billy boarded the Fannie Fern
accompanied by Mrs. Charles Forbes
Charlie and her daughter, all of whom
have been spending the summer at the
Edgewater Hotel, Brookhayen. The
party got off the boat on the bay side
OF Fire Island Beach and walked across
so the ocean side, where the older mem
srs of the party went in bathing The
surf proved too high and rough for the
youngsters, so they all returned to the
bay, where the water is shallow for
dsarter of mile out. Billy and Char.
Tie were allowed to play about while
Ahefr mothers sa' on the shore and Mr.
Scott and his sister stayed reading or
the boat.
The accident is explained by the
channel worn by the Fannie Fern. This
ferryboat, coming in and going ou
twice a day, has cut.a channel -four
feet deep with the action of it's pro
palier. AS she comes in on one sld'
and goes out at right angles, there are
two cuts, four feet deep, in watel
which appears to be perfectly safe TO
bathing. 1t is thought that Billy an'
Charlie stepped into one Of these cut
and no one saw their little heads g.
under.

Stowaway Hid in Coal;
Breathed Through Pipe
Dame Who Ii Was Thought
Jumped Overheard Found
When Vessel Docks

Aage Abgard, the Danish stowaway
on board the United States of the
northumberland Line, who dis
appeared Monday when the steamship
neared port and eluded prolonged
searches conducted by the captain of
the ship and then by immigration au-
thorities, was discovered early yester-
day after the United States had locked
at its Hoboken pier.
The Dane was given food and drink,
and then turned over to immigration
officials at Ellis Island. He will proba-
bly, be deported. Much Of the time
that he had been in hiding, he said, he
spent under piles of coal, breathing
through an iron pipe pushed through
to the surface.
Upon arriving in port, the captain,
confident that the stowaway was still
on board, had ordered double watch
set, and one of the look-outs heard a
noise in the chain-house, which covers
the ships anchor chains, and whose
door can only be opened from the out
side. He notified the captain Of his
suspicious, and when the two men in
vestigated they found Aboard inside,
tired, dirty, hungry and thirsty.

Pushes Feet Forward for Five Steps All Alone

one on each heel, one on each ankle
and one on each hip. after the case had
been brought TO his attention by DR.,
Robert Lovett, Of Boston. Birge has
been IN cast for more than thirty
weeks.
'.Well, III be able to go back to my
farm now Mr. Tsirge remarked. "My
sister, Emma, will be pleased. She and
I have been farming all these yeara at
Middlebury, VT. We managed pretty
we'll, considering everything. went
around in my wheel chair and looked
after the chickens. could even drive
team by being hoisted up to my seat
But now the doctors think I'll be able
to walk, and it's almost more than one
could hope for"
With deep breaths Mr.. Birge was
taking in the fresh air and sunshine
the weight of his cast no longer com
pressing his lungs. He was surrounded
by crippled youngsters. many of them
victims of the same disease as him
interested in his case.
Wishes He Could Share Luck
II wish the same could be done for
all of them" he said, looking wist.
fully around. ri hate to think that any
of them may have the long years OF
paralysis that ! have had. No doubt
my operation will lead TO similar ones
/ doubt if it could have been done more
than fifteen years ago. 1t is the out
come of modern surgical skill. have
had any number of letters from per.
sons similarly afflicted since my case
became known"
DR.. Virgil Gibney, surgeon in
chief of the Hospital for the Rup-
tured and Crippled, was among the
first to congratulate Mr.. Birge on
his five successful steps. He ex-
planned that the next phase would be
powerful electrical treatment and
massage.
"Mr. .Birge will have TO wear braces
for long time, as it is just like learn-
ing to walk all over again" said DR.
Gibney. .After time he will be
able to lay aside his clutches and use
canes. Whether he will be able to
walk without support Of any kind will
depend on his progress 1t is hard
for us to say yet.
Mr.. Birge, however, is determined
that he will walk without anything
1t was one of the first remarks he
made yesterday when his cast came
off. The State of Vermont and the
United Hospital Fund are taking care
of his expenses.

In Ave trembling steps, slowly, pain
fully taken, Frederick w SBirge, of
Middlebury. VT, yesterday regained
the use OF his legs after thirty-nine
years OF the inertia of wheeichair.
Turning his eyes hopefully toward
the sun that streamed down on the
open air ward of the Hospital for
Crippled and Ruptured, 32i East Forty
second Street, he dragged himself from
his invalid chair and leaned on his
crutches. AS his feet came in contact
with the floor he swayed. For a mo-
ment spectators watched breathless as
he seemed about to collapse Pop-eyed
with wonder, the ward children, still
in their casts and pulling themselves
around on little wagons, watched to
see what would happen as this man
OF fifty-three took his first steps since
he was a victim of infantiie paralysis
as boy of fourteen. !.
With infinite pains he recovered
himself and his brown socked feet be-
gan to move with all the difficulty,
the fearfulness of infancy. He had
taken nVe steps De1ofe ne stopped 10
look happily around Mt the crowd
watching him. He mcpped his head,
which was bathed in perspiration, and
his tense features relaxed in smile.
Then his chair was trmndied up to
where he stood and he sank back into
it. He had learned enough for the
first day and was pleased as a baby
learning it's first lesson in locomotion.
Az least he was assured that his feet
were no longer lifeless, twisted and
shrunken as they have been all these
years.
Celebrates Anniversary
Yesterday was the thirty-ninth an
,niversary of his paralysis, and his
physicians deliberately delayed taking
off his cast for few days so that
he could celebrate. He will be in
braces for some time and will not
leave the hospital until he has greater
command of his lettering legs.
"Have ] disappointed your he asked
Of every one around,
A loud chorus Of "noes" and con-
gratulations were his answer. Pleased
and fatigued he lay back in his chair,
saying he was well rewarded for the
pain of his six operations and the
weary weeks of being encased in a cast
from his neck down. DR.. Armitage
Whitman performed the operations,
