years and all of whom are sons of re-
spectacle parents living i'll West May

West haywood, and having devoured
volume after volume of yellow-ba backed
literature became imbued with the
IDEA of following i'll the footsteps OF
their heroes. Entrane. TO ChurchilPS

Among the articles stolen was q no.
tarial seal, and one of the boys
stamped Il book he had been reading,
which in some way fell into the hands
of the police. The wanderings of the
book were traced to one of the quar-
tette in West haywood, and after
much questioning the boy confessed.
The hiding place of the rest of the
stolen articles was disclosed and they
were returned to their owner. The
question of prosecuting the young bur-
glars came up and after consultation
with their parents it was decided to let
the matter drop.
