NEAR DEATH IN LOOKED CAR
Two Little Girls Spend Three Days la
tbe Dark Wlthoat Food or
Water.
Two small alxed girls who were penned
In a pitch dark refrigerator car on Tues
day of last week by boys with whom they
had been playing in the railroad yards at
Buffalo were found lying in the car when
It reached Hoboken three days later. They
were not able to walk. 1 was soma time
before they were able to speak. They had
been seventy-two hours without food or
drink or sufficiency of air. That they were
alive at all was a thing to wonder at.
Mary Muni la 10 and Nelsle da Fork Is
8. Both girls live with their parents at 21
Indiana street, Buffalo. They are but single
units In multiple families. Only fractional
attention can In the nature of things be
theirs. The two girls used every day to
run around CTTe Lackawanna freight yard
near Columbia street, Buffalo. They had a
good deal of fun Jumping about cars. Some
times they found a stray piece of fruit.
Boys of their age and older hung around
the freight yard. Last Tuesday morning a
ooupla of these boys whom they knew by
sight, not by name, shouted out to the girls:
"Hey, there's bananas In that car. Want
some bananas? Back In that car you'll
find some. O'wan In."
It was an empty refrigerator car to which
the boys pointed. The two girls clambered
into it and with anticipatory excitement be
gan poking over the floor in the dark cor
ners. They heard the heavy door bang to
and found themselves In blackness. They
rushed for the door and poundtd on It They
could hear the boys outside laughing.
The boys made no attempt to open the
oar door and the girls became frightened.
They screamed a little and kicked with
their bare feet. Pretty soon they heard the
voices of the boys and knew them to be
trying to open the door. The door never
budged. It Is not only heavy, It flta as
closely as If dovetailed and is held shut by
auotlon.
A little longer the two girls kicked and
beat upon the door. Then Mary Monl, the
elder, heard Nelsle fall upbn the floor of
tho car and begin to sob In a alow, help
less fashion. This was too much for Mary,
wno is only 10 herself. She wept standing
and between sobs she thwacked the door
with her fists. At length she gave that up.
mey heard an engine puffing louder
every second. "Bang!" Mary was bumped
to the floor. There Vfts an Interval of eev-
eral minutes. Then tha ansln rM,vi
tha car gave a Jerk, In the darkness they
knew themselves to be moving.
When tha two girls didn't come home on
uc.uny nigm meir parents had gone
anxiously to the police. Borne were found
who had seen tha children In the freight
yard foraging. F, H. C. Schoeff el, ohlef
special agent of the Lackawanna, tele
graphed Chief Beatty of the Lackawanna
special police in Hoboken to examine every
unloaded car that reached Hoboken. Chief
Beatty told Yardmaater Dutton the story
and the yardmaster ordered 'his men to
keep strict watoh. For several days not
an empty car reached Hoboken without
being examined In a hurry. Then yesterday
morning, when a string of twenty-five
empties came rolling in, Dutton himself,
who happened to be In the yard, pounced on
refrigerator car 69fW and pried open the
door. He lumped inside.
There In the corner he found two bare
footed, slightly dressed girls, black with
dirt Nelsle was unconscious. Mary was
conscious, but she only looked at the yard
master, who was swearing very loudly
and absent mlndedly. He picked tha two
children up and carried them out Into She
sun, blinding and glorious, and stood there
shouting orders and oaths and mopping his
forehead with great flourishes intended to
conceal the preliminary wiping of his
cheeks. The two children were taken in
a hurry to the Lackawanna Young Men's
Christian association headquarters arid Dr.
King was called from the Snake Hill sani
tarium.
Mary had fainted and It "look the doctor
two hours to bring both girls to so that
they would stay conscious and not go
lapsing off again. Ha fed them ft little
broth and gave them a little water. It
waa wonderful the way they picked up
after that Pretty soon they found thotr
voices and could answer simple questions
and by and by they could stand up without
holding onto something and walk around.
Then they got one thoroughgoing scrub
bing apiece and were put into blue glng
ham pinafores and had their hair done up,
which proceeding was entirely new and
pleasing. vThey explained how the boys
had caught them In the car. They did not
volunteer any Information, but they an
swered straightforwardly every question
put ,
The two girls were escorted to the Lacka
waitra'a No. 7 train while every employe
craned his neck and commuters missed
their trains to watch and Inquire. They
were put aboard In charge of the conductor,
to his manifest pleasure. A berth was
lotted them, and It was arranged that they
should order a la carte In the dining car
The train left Hoboken at :K6 Friday
night with the girls sitting In their glng
ham dresses on tha observation platform.
Both girls were in Buffalo next morning
and home.- New Tork Sun.

now permissible for out of door wear In

Too Mack for Flamaaran.
It was Lawyer Steve O'Brien that had the
case, says tbe New York correspondent of
the Clnnclnatl Times Star. The uncle of
Patrick Flanagan - of Carrlck-on-Shannon
had, died and left to Patrick 120,000 In hard
money. Mr O'Brien trailed Mr. Flanagan
anxiously about town. He heard of him
here and he heard of him there, but he
finally located htm . In xthe depths of a
sewr that was being dug on Third avenue.
"Pathrlck Flanagan?" calls Mr. O'Brien.
Mr Flanagan answered.
"Are you the son of Pathrlck Flanagan
and was your mother's name Mary? And
what were the names of your uncles?"
Mr. Flanagan answered correctly. ('
"Then Come up," said Mr. 0'Brlen."Your
Uncle James has Just died and left you
$30,000."
There was a commontlon in the ditch and
Mr. O'Brien leaned over again and called
anxiously, . "Pathrlck Flanagan."
'Vm coming sorr," said Flanagan. "I
Just stopped to lick the boss."
Mr. Flanagan proved his right to the
money, paid Mr. O'Brien what was due
him, and for a few weeks Infested Third
avenue, dressed In a high hat and hard
shoes, and doing full Justice to his thirst.
He Just burned up that ardent thorough
fare until his money gave out and he dis
appeared from sight The other day his
other . uncle died, and Mr. O'Brien went
back to tha works. "Pathrlck," said he,
your Uncle ' Tom has died and left you
$30,000 more. Come down to the office and
get It tomorrow."
Mr. Flanagan stuck his pick Into the
side. "I don't believe I can do It Mr.
O'Brien," said he. "I'm not a sthrong man
like I waa whin I got that other money. I
doubt I'd live troo spending $20,000 more."

Tbe Boss of the Establishment
BY AMERE MAN. I
The train dragged slowly into the little
station at the end of the line, seeming to
sink Into the surrounding sand heaps as a
weary traveller might drop into an arm
chair.
For an hour or more tha Boss of the
Establishment and his wife had been the
two lone passengers of the parlor cor.
They were alone, that Is, except for the
ever present odor of fresh fish which had
assailed their nostrils as they pulled out
of Long Island City and which had seemed
to be growing stronger every minute.
"It is not the ocean smell," declared the
Boss wife positively, "because wa have
been miles and miles away from the ocean
at times and we're not on the fish train,
because fish trains all go tha other way,
toward New York, and they don't carry
parlor cars." ,
However the malodorous mystery was
solved when the conductor called the name
of tha final station, the Boss helped his
wife to alight and many large . ooxing
boxes were thrown on the platform.
"It's all fish!" exclaimed the Boas, snif
fing a diagnosis. "Talk about carrying
coals to Newcastle!"
He turned to the ticket seller, who had
strolled out of his office to inspect the new
arrivals: "What do they ship fish down
here for?"
"Cheaper In the city," replied tha young
man glibly. "Both tha hotels get all their
supplies from N'York. Were you expected T"
he asked Impartially of the six forlorn per
sons on the platform.
"Yes," replied the Boss with much more
confidence that he felt, for on anxious
survey of the horison had failed to reveal
on approaching vehicle of any sort, "we're
going to Captain Miller's howl."
"Oh, that's all right then. You may have
to wait around for a spell, but th captaln'll
sure be over for the fish. Most of those
boxes belong to him and, of course, you
can't leave 'am out In the sun too long, you
understand."
Thus reassured the Boss and his wife
walked up and down the sun-baked plat
form for a while and sat on their suitcases
for a longer period till the Boss, who had
smoked many cigarettes and whose collar
was wilting, exclaimed angrily:

simple lines are much in favor. I saw re
cently a set of four pieces a tea set that

The plating on hard white metal was most
substantial, the decoration a group of
threads running around the center and the
top edge of tha different articles. The
handles were very graceful In design.

But at that moment out of ft distant cloud
of dust appeared a long,. rambling buck
board which waa scurrying toward the
station with tha uncertain haste of a giant
beetle. ,
"There oomes the captain now I" sang out
the station man, and ten minutes later a
crowded wagon drove up and there de
scended from It a tall, gaunt mlddleaged
man so burned by successive suns that only
the formation of his features Indicated his
klndshlp to the white race.
"You for tha Miller house?" he exclaimed
cordially to the very solemn and dignified
Boss. "Sorry to keep you walUng, but the
team had to take a party up to the light
house this morning."

When th neck is short fat or thick, th
cord that eomes by th yard Is a pretty
finish for th top of the collar, but It must

otherwise the addition will only call atten

There are some women who find the cord

horses attached to the buckboard, ' .
"I gueas you two can squeeze In on that

crowded, because all these people wanted
to come over to mail their letters. Maybe
we could pack In a couple of boxes of fish,

The Boas and his wife, Ilk all opti
mistic persons, reversed the Hamlet phil
osophy and preferred the evils that they
knew not of to those they had already
sampled. Having had the fish with , them
all the way down, they chose the child,
who set up a howl fortwlth, and they
rode off In a three-seated buckboard that
carried nine, not Including the fragrant
fish and the blubbering boy.
"This is awful!" breathed the Boss with
deep conviction.
His wife roused herself from a somber
scrutiny of the hostess' back hair.
"I am sure thera are cockroachea," ij4
said. '
The Boss started. . Ha .loathed eoek- '

"By tha way she does her back hair,"
answered the Sibyl, "or, rather- tha way

specialists have said about it.
The Boss' wife drew a sharp breath of
delight. She looked at th Boas and
laughed. "Isn't It a nice little ocoanl" she
exclaimed ecstatically. . ,

have done credit to Neptune himself.
