BRINGS BAD LUCK;

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Hospital
ity extended to a homeless black
cat last night by Mr. and Mrs.
James Fahey, living In the five
story tenement building, No. 435
West Fifty-fourth street, resulted
in a fire which made the Faheys
homeless and for a time threat
ened the homes of 19 families.
The cat came one night with Mr.
Fahey, who disregarded his wife
Katherine's bad luck superstition.
After preparing breakfast before
daylight next morning, Mrs. Fahey
went back to bed, leaving alamp,
which held about a quart of oil,
burning between two lace-cur
tained windows in the parlor.
The cat jumped upon the table
and knocked off the lamp, which
exploded and sent the blazing oil
flyibg in all directions. Curtains,
carpets, table covers and sofa pil
lows were ignited. In a few mo
menta the flames were bursting
out of the windows into the street.
The Faheys and the cat are look

never share one again.

YOUNG ADAM AND EVE, BOTH 17, HIDE FOR MANY
HAPPY WEEKS IN A ROMANTIC MOUNTAIN CAVE
Then Jack Frost Drives 'Em
Back to Civilization, But
Fails to Chill Their Love
—Elopers Forgiven and
Wedded in 1910 Fashion.
NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 12.—Here is
a story about a youthful 1910 Adam
and his consort Eve.
Adam is 17 years old, and so is
Eve, and their real names were La
Vere Tallman and Beatrice San
ders. Now Eve Is Mrs. Tallman.
They ran away from school and
work and went off into the Catskill
mountains, right up among the
great big bears and mountain lions
and things, and there they lived in
a cave for weeks and weeks.
It was just the finest cave imag
inable, too. A great big, regular
robbers' cave. Why, Captain Kidd
himself would have pounced upon it
in glee as a bully hiding place from
policemen, and might have hid a
million dollars in bullion and dia
monds in the big black hole that
led off to —no one knows where —
from the southeast corner.
And here in this cave the nature
children lived and played. During
the day La Vere hunted and caught
fish and bartered with neighboring
farmers for eggs and milk and
sugar and other provisions, but
carefully concealed his identity and
.•§■?• hiding place and his nature
wife.
"Finer than Paradise!" said
Beatrice. For in the soft, romantic
days of September and October
they sat alone beneath the stars
and gazed into each other's eyes
and loved each other and forgot
the world. They were' very, very
happy—also, very, very young.
But one crisp night there came •
a frost. They hadn't counted on
that, nor on the rain which came |
down in torrents and got into the
cozy little cave and messed up
things and made them both feel j
quite miserable. But old Jack i
Frost did not nip their love. j
However, they began to suspect
that they couldn't live in a cave all
winter. La Vere went down to the
village of Yonkers and scouted i
around. He got a Job at $4 a week |
driving a delivery wagon for a
butcher, He rented a little hoirse, [
sold his shotgun and fishing tackle
and went back after Beatrice. But
La Vere didn't know the streets
of the town ad lost his job. Fuel
ran low and they got miserably
cold in that little house. They used
to wander down to the railroad
station and sit around until they
got warm. The station agent be
came suspicious and called a po-
