| " went d0Wn on the cars, ana
 pa dad headache, because he had
 been out all night electioneering
 for the prohibition ticket, and he
 was cross, and he was dry and
 scolded me, and once he pulled my
 ears because I asked him if he
 knew the girl he was smiling at in
 a seat across the isle. l didn't en- joy myself much, and some men
 were talking about kidnapping
 children, and it gave me an ijee,
 and just before we got to Chicago l
 went after a drink of water at the t'other end of the car, and 1 saw a
 man who looked as though he wouldn't stand any foOIing, and 1 whispered to him and told him that
 that bald-headed man 1 was sit
 ting with was taking me away
 from my home in Milwaukee, and l
 mistrusted he was going to make a
 thief or a pickpooket of ne. I said h h. and told him not to say anything or the man would maul me. Then 1 went back to
 the seat and asked pa to buy me a
 gold watch; he looked mad and
 cufed ne on the ear. The man
 that I whispered to got to talking
 with some other men, and when we got off the cars at Chicago, 0 police man came up to pa and took him by the neck and said: 'Mr. Kid napper, I guess we will run you in Pa was mad and tried to jerk away, and the cop choked him, and an other cop came along and helped him, and the passengers crowded | around and wanted to lynch pa, and pa wanted to know what they and they asked him where he stole the kid, and he said I was his kid, and asked me if 1 wasn't, and 1 looked scared as though I was afraid to say no, and 1 said
 Yes, sir, ] guess so.' Then the police said the poor boy was scart, and they would take us both to the station, and they made pa walk 3pry, and when he held back they
 erked him, along, He was offul mad, and said he would make some body smart tor this, and 1 hoped it wouldn't be me. At the station they charged pa with kidnapping ] boy from Milwaukee, and he says
 It was a lie, and I was his boy; I said of course I was, and the boss asked who told the cops pa was zidnapper, and they said damtino, md then the boss told pa he could go, but not to let 1t occur again, and pa and me went away. 1 look 50 sorry for pa that he never tumb-

 eve walked around all day, and went to the stores, and at night pa vas offul tired, and he put me to bed in the tavern and he went out to walk around and get rested. 1 was not tired, and 1 walked all around the hotel. l thought he had gone to 8 theater, and that made me mad, and I thought I would play a joke on him. Our room was 210, and the next room was PIP, and there was an old maid with Scotch terrier that occupied PIP. 1 saw her twice and she call ed me names, cause she thought 1 wanted to steal her dog That made me mad at her, and 50 1 took my iack-knife and drew the tacks out of the tin thing that the num- bers were painted on, and put the old maids number on our door, and our number on her door, and then went to bed. l tried to keep awake, so as to help, pa if he had any difficulty, but l guess l got asleep, but woke up when the dog parked.

He says everybody drinks when they 20 to Chicago, even the minister.
