to pay for everything; but they never paid.

Here's a Smart Child.
A notable young traveller left Brooklyn for
/ Boston alone. This was Ida Volbor:h, ten
pears old, who left her grandmother's house,
1872 Jay street, Brooklyn, to join her mother.
About four years ago she went from Boston to
Liepsic, Germany. At that time she spoke
only English. In Leipsic she was continually
in the company of friends who used only the
!, German tongue. She had forgotten every
.. word Of English she ever knew. she cannot
{ even ask for food in English She was taken
by an uncle from Lslpsic to Bremen and
placed in charge of the captain and the stew
ardess Of the steamship Fulda Of tha North
German Lloyd line. She had the address Of
her great uncle in Brooklyn, Mr.. August Vol
bortn, and had his portrait; thu arrangement
being that she should not be taken from the
ship unless demanded by a man who could be
recognized by the picture. The mother, who
cannot speak German, preceded the child to
this country Que year ago.
