There was a bright little boy between
2 and 8 years old picked up as he was
wandering on the street and carried to
the Four Courts, where he took seat
on the railing in front OF the Central

stared at every one who came in with
out being the least abashed. As is cus
to nary in such cases, an endeavor was
made to elicit information from him thai
might lead TO his restoration to his dis.
