ed there until six months ago, when l

a great many novels. and cne CT them
made big hit with me. In this story the
heroine dressed in boys clothes and made
a tour of the world. She had a good time.

worse for her experience.
Il just thought I would try that plan
myself. l went over to Philadelphia. /
had $40 in my pocket when l started. !
went to a barber shop and had my hair
cut like boys. Then l bought a suit of
boys clothes. / tried to part my hair on
the side but it wouldn't stay, SO | let it
go in the middle.

of a Hobo" For two days and two lights

| made their rendezvous near Point of Rocks
in Jersey City, where the Pennsylvania
| and Lehigh Valley railroads intersect. His
| object was to detect, if possible. who had
| been stripping cars on both roads of brass
| journals and the air brake connections.
This system of petty thievery has caused
| the railroad companies much expense and
annoyance. 1t is estimated that the dam
age dcne by the removal of the brass jour
nails amounts 10 several thousand dollars
| each year. Attached to the air-brake con-
| nections Is piece OF copper that sells for
CID junk at I cents. pound. The Jour

junkmen in Jersey City who make a busj

guised himself as a tramp. His vigil was

| boys admitted they had been doing that
! kind OF work some time. They gave the
names of the junkmen to whom they sold
| the property. and the police expect to have
| them in custody today.
Detective Burstead was surprised at the
| number OF tramps who make the railroad
yards a camping ground. The stories he
| heard convinced him that the city would
| be better OFF without the Eoboes. and he
| reported his suspicious to Chief Murphy
| The result was that a roundup OF tramps
was decided upon.
