Willie Wright All Right Again.

Company in Lewiston on Thursday of

could collect it, besides all of the eX-

He didn't mention it to his stepfathcr,

because Mr.. Stone would have dis
suadcd him. Being 10 years old and
named Willie Wright he couldn't go
wrong. 1t WAS board, expenses and So

Mr.. Stone missed the boy the next
morning and reported il to the police.
They located the company in one place
and another finally getting communica-
ton at Springfield, Mass, only too late
! the company was off for Brooklyn, n.
Y, to play a week. Here, the city
marshal received communication only
to find that Willie had left the COM
| pany. Cast it off and started back for
| Maine.
Monday evening he showed up AT
home iii Lewiston, footSOre and weary
after Il series of adventures that fur

perences were laborious. however,
rather than remarkable. He hadn I
