How A LITTLE CHILD
BROKE UP SUSSEX SALE
IWO-year-OId Tot Found Sleeping
One and A-hali Miles AWAY
From Her Home

In some parts of Sussex county a
public sale is O notable event and
usually is largely attended. Therefore
It is not strange THAT Mr.. and Mrs
William Phillips, of Bethel. left their
children at home to attend the sale of
Thomas Chipman.
Just about the time that interest in
the sale was at its height, an older
dhild Of tine Phillips rushed upon the
scene announcing that the baby, a girl
OF years, was lost. The parents were
sorrow-sticken, and the sale broke up
in short order.
Upon being questioned, the child
who carried the tidings said that the
older children went TO the fields, leav-
ing the baby alone in the house. When
they returned. the baby was gone
Hunting parties were organized in
which residents of the entire vicinity
took part Whether the baby had
strayed away, or had been stolen,
they did not know, but they We're de-
termined to find her, no matter at
what cost. Tue entire community was
in such a cOmmOtion as 1t had not
known since the days when Mother
Shippen's prophesy regarding the ter
minatiOn OF the world had disturbed
the even tenor of their lives Visions
of kidnappers fitted through the minds
Of the rescuers, and the things which
would have happened to the wicked
creatures. had they existed and had
they been caught, would have been a.
4 plenty.
The search for the little one was con.
tinued with unabated energy for sew
eral hours. and as darkness fef
lanterns and torches were pressed int,
service, and the adjacent woods werl
secured. Finally the tot was foun,
calmly sleeping along the roadside
fully a mile and a half from her home
and how her little legs carried her tina
distance. is a question that is puz
zling the good people Of that part o
Sussex county.
