for the krmness of Officer Warren, Haverman would
have met with summary punishment.
We have "Our Maggie" at the bospitable mansion
of Mr. Smith, Of the firm Of Smith & Dodd, who have
been chiefly instrumental in her recovery. She is q
beautiful child of thirteen year, of whom we would
as coon imagine thought OF wrong as IN one OF
our own worshped family pets. She sobbed an
apswer when introduced to u.s. and when assured
her that we had no curious questions to ask, and
only came to congratulate her upon her rescue and
upon the certainty Of forgivrg and hearty welcome
bone the fountai of her heart burst forth.
She was met (sO we learned from her uncle) by the
yilain Hayerman, who told her to 60 with him She
refused and he piled that If she did not he would
then he would take her. Child as she was, and what
child would not, she went with him.
