Leo Pine Of Montpelier Wanted to See
the Great Unknown in Large City
Burlington Boy Learned by
Experience.

Montpelier, Jan. S Young Leo Pine,
son Of Joseph Pine Of the firm Of black
smiths named Pine Brothers, had a long
ing for adventure, to see the wheels 60
round in large city. Yesterday the
longing became SO strong that the little
fellow was unable to resist the pressure
and he started. But in order to make
much progress he required starting
capital, and previous TO leaving Mont
pelier he borrowed a sum from his
father, without the fathers knowledge,
equal, 90 the latter reported to the po-
lice, TO $780, Also without the parental
knowledge Leo boarded the 12. 30 train
yesterday afternoon, bound for the great
unknown. Some time later, the lad was
missed at home and the absence Of the
5000 from its customary place was also
noticed. The parents searched for a
while on their own hook and at seven
O'clock last night reported the matter
TO the police department. The latter
discovered traces Of the missing lad and
that he had boarded the Central Ver-
mont train southbound.
Chief Mcmahon sent on word to the
Manchester, n. FL, police to be- on the
lookout and they were. Unfortunately
for LeO's plans the trains were several
hours late on account of the snow storm.
When the train pulled into Manchester,
bearing the youngster with all his hopes,
the police were on hand to welcome him.
He was taken in charge and the local
officers notified. In the trousers pocket
Of d brand new outfit the Manchester
officers found SIS in money. Leo had
thoroughly equipped himself with cloth
ing for his adventure. He also sported
a gold watch. A Montpelier officer went
down to Manchester to bring the ad-
yenturous boy back to his home. And
the episode win probably end there, as
Leo has always been a good boy up to

also paid d visit to Montpelier, from
which city he came to Manchester.
He has a new dress suit case. with
the initials rs. Z" on one end, standing
for the fictitious name which he gave.
That the boy is a victim Of the dime

blood and thunder pamphlets which were
found with him. Some of the novels
are Tied Strong in Nebraska Buffalo

young men are shown as heroes Of the

q wierd tale, beginning with his being
accosted by man about twenty years
of age in the streets OF Burlington and
asked II he didn't want ride. The boy
decided that he did want a ride and he
jumped into the strangers team. They
then drove about that city, going all
the while farther away from the center.
The lad thought nothing of it. In fact
he was having a good time. Pretty soon,
however, he found himself at place
a short distance below Montpelier juno

up for two days. AT the end Of the
two days the stranger borrowed three
dollars Of the lad with which to pay the

After borrowing the money the strange
young man went away and failed To-

ALL AGREED TWAS COLD.
But Intensity Varied with Truthfulness
Of the Teller.

The intensity Of the cold weather this
morning varied with the veracity OF the
person telling Of it. The general ad-
mission was, how Neyer, that It was cold.
At ten o'clock last night thermometers
on Main street registered at twelve de-
grees below zero. This morning at day
light the same thermometers showed =
further drop Of three degrees. Fifteen
below was about the average, although
there have been some to assert that the
mercury went as low as nineteen de.
grees below what might be considered
smart weather.
Not single flake of the storm which
has covered the southern part of New
England and the southern part Of this
state with six to eighteen inches Of
SNOW fell hereabouts. On account Of
the severe storms in Massachusetts and
southern New Hampshire the afternoon
mail train was nearly three hours late
