BlindWarHero, Stabbed, Rewon Stolen Bride Sightless ?rgonne Veteran, Who Went to Italy With Mother, Weds Girl Who Charmed Him by Voice Slashed by Angry Father Young Wife Rejoins Her People, but Ruse Gets Her on Ship With Husband The story of the triumph of a blind man'3 love over parental rage and at? tempted assassination was rovealed yesterday when Salvatore Fiiippo, an American warrior of the Argonne, brought in his bride from Naples on tho Italian liner Argentina. A German bullet passing sideways through both eyes robbed Fiiippo of his sight, but it did not detract a jot of his fighting spirit. When America entered the war Fi? iippo enlisted with tho 110th Infantry and was one of the first of the men of the A. E. F. to get into action. One evening, when four of his comrades were in No Man's Land wounded by machine gun bullets and exposed to sporadic fire, Filippi crept out and got them. He had dragged to safety three men and was out to get the fourth when a German bullet clipped him. After several months in a hospital he was sent home and lived with his mother at Erie, Pn. The soldier's mother, an Italian by birth, told her son a year ago that she wished to end her day? in Italy, and, aided by his disability compensation from the gov? ernment, he took her to Italy. Voice Wins Soldier's Love At a village in the Province of Lucca Fiiippo met Isahella Bruna, who was then sixteen. He could not see her, but her voice and the attentions she showed to him caused him to love her. She pitied him, and this pity led to leve. When the seriousness of their affec? tion became apparent to the head of the Bruna household he warned Fiiippo to keep away from hia daughter and his home and threatened the blind Ameri? can with harm if he persisted in his suit. The couple, however, kept up a clandestine engagement, and several i. onths ago were married secretly. They were harbored in the home of the husband's mother for a week, and one night the bride's father, accompanied by three of his townsmen, broke into the room of the sleeping couple, stabbed Fiiippo, leaving him for dead, and took his bride away. While recovering from his wounds in a hospital Filippo's mother sought the >oung wife, but she had been won over by her father, and would not listen to the pleadings of her mother-in-law that she return to Fiiippo. Wife Seeks Blind Husband Put in time her pity that had once ripened into love revived, and she sgain contrived to meet her husband. She refused, however, to live with him. A few weeks ago the warrior of the Argonne told his bride that he was going back to America. She went to Naples to bid him good by. He told her the vessel was to sail at 4 p. m. They sat in his cabin talking, and when the hour of parting camo the bride realised the vessel ha_ sailed at 2 p. m, and Lhat she was then some twenty miles out in the Mediterranean. Resenting the ruse, the young woman refused to speak to her husband. He had bought a ticket, hoping that she would accompany him, and had his passport vised for himself and wife. After the third day of isolation Isa? bella sought her husband, and both were happy yesterday when they ar? rived in New York. They were driven from the pier in South Brooklyn to a hotel in Manhat? tan, and after Mrs. Fiiippo has seen enough of New York they will go to th, blidegroom's home, in Erie, Pa. Hemming's Widow Files Notice of Will Contest Would Have Court Rule That Broker Slain by Caretaker Difd Intestate Mrs. Helen Henderson Hemming filed notice in the Surrogates' Court yester? day that she intends to contest the will of Henry G. Hemming, broker, who was shot to death on July 14 by a caretaker nt Mr?. Hemming's estate, near North port, L. I. Mr. Hem_)ing made his will February 28, 1920, which was before his marriage to the contestant. He left all his prop? erty to John G. Hemming, a son by a previous marriage, with a request that the beneficiary give $500 each to Maud Hemming, of 1739 North Sixteenth Street, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Agnes H. Sceese, of Tucson, Ariz., sisters of the testator. The Hcmmings were married last May. They were estranged at the time of the tragedy. In the petition accom? panying the will on file in the Surro? gates' Court Mrs. Hemming is referred to as the "alleged widow" of the broker. Mrs. Hemming s-ys that she was free to marry Mr. Hemming l_3t May, as more than five years had elapsed r-ir.ce the disappearance of her prior husband, Richard V. Thome. She con? tends that the will is invalid so far as it afTects her interest in the estate and calls upon the court to hold that Mr. Hemming died intestate.

Mrs. F. J. Gould's Divorce Complaint Is Dismissed Justice Mullan in the Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the complaint in the suit for divorce broufht by Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould against Frank Jay Gould, who is living in Fiance. The decision was rendered on a demurrer interposed by Mr. Gould bo the com? plaint of his wife, based on a decree of divorce already issued in favor of Mr. Gould by the French courts. Mrs. Gould brought two suits here against her husband, one for separa? tion based on allegations of extreme cruelty, and the other for divorce, in which case she named several French women. It was her contention that the French courts were without jurisdiction over her husband's suit, as they were only temporary residents of Fiance and that their legal residence was in New York. Counsel for Mr. Gould, upon argu | ment before Justice Mullan, showed that Mrs. Gould submitted herself to the jurisdiction of France by defending the action against her there and later by appealing to the higher courts from the decision sustaining the suit of Mr. Gould, wherein he mentioned a wealthy young Mexican. Justice Mullan said there was no room for suspicion of a fraudulent re? sort to the French courts and added that "except in the most technical of senses, the parties were permanently domiciled in France."

In the afternoon they had nearly reached the summit, and were negotiating a particularly stiff bit of almost perpendicular cliff. Mr. Stone was slightly in advance. Disappeared in Abyss.

Fastening a rope to the edge of a leclpe she climbed rapidly down until she reached the end of the rope. There was no foothold and no handhold and she found herself dangling against the st^ep mountainside. For some time :he hung there, try? ing vainly to draw herself back up again. Finally, exhausted, she loosed her hold, expecting to dash to her death. Instead, she landed on the four-foot ledge, the only one in sight, about ten feet below. There sho re? mained for eight days. During that time clouds often sur? rounded the moutain tops and fre? quently rain and wind storms, accom? panied by lightning and thunder, broke about her. Long before help ar? rived she had about despaired of ever being rescued. But her lemarkable stamina carried her through.
