He lived in Brooklyn, and when he was

he knew what was going on about him.
More than that, he was kindly boy, for
when he saw people in distress he tried to
help them. While he was recently playing
near his house young woman came out
OF Teighboring house, where she had been
calling with her young child, and looked
| about for her baby carriage, which had dis
appeared while she was in the house. She

| troubled at his negative reply.

I'm find it for you, and he started down
the avenue, asking each person he met if
he had seen anybody with an empty baby
carriage. At length he obtained a clew

store as a rough-looking man was trying to
sell the carriage.

1t belongs to my wife, and she sent me
out to sell it, said the thief.
