There's a story" said a drummer,
"about a commercial traveller whose
line was tunnels and post holes for
fences. Him l never met / did meet
once, though, drummer selling iron
churches and suspension bridges. An
other time l met a drummer who said
his line was pupils. What did he mean
by pupils? He meant, 1 found, glass
eyes for stuffed animals, for dolls and
for human beings. One Of this mans
favorite amusements was to open his
sample case and ask the people present
TO pick out the eye that best matched
their own. The people made awful
mistakes in this, for nobody, it seems,
knows the color of his own eyes,

New York Family.
Stolen Boy Ia Kept Hidden just a
Week-How the Police Got on
the Right Trail.

Philadelphia, June 10. - Freddie
Muth, the 7-year-oid son of Je1veler
Charles Muth. who was kidnapped from
interchangeable school last Tuesday,
was fornd yesterday afternoon in a
vacant house and returned to his par
ents. John Joseph Kean, member of a
respectable New York family, one time
bookkeeper Of the Harlem bank, a stock
broker, and more recently a real estate
agent is the abductor. Replete with
dramatic incidents throughout, the
climax of the abduction was sensa-
tional. The kidnaper was taken at the
point of a pistol only after he had been
fired upon, and when he realized that
escape was impossible. Kean is a mar
rfed man and the father OF three chill
dren. lie gave as his reason for alb
Quoting the Muth boy that he needed
money.
Police Get on the Trail.
From the day Of the kidnapping until
the arrest Kean had kept the child in
three vacant houses IN West Philadel-
phia. The first information that Kean
and his captive were in the vicinity in
which the arrest was eventually made
camefrom Joseph Sager, a baker, who
told a policeman that he had seen a
man and boy answering the descrip-
Jon OF the pair in an oyster saloon on
Hayerford avenue last Wednesday

OF all the vacant houses in the neigh
borhood, aud their search led them to
the very house occupied by the abduc-
tor ana the child. These dwellings
were SO constructed, however, that by
means of q rear shed Eean was able
to elude the police the nrst time 10y
climbing into the back windows Of tive
adjoining houses which were also I'M
occupied.
Real Estate Man Gives Clue.
J. Cooke, a real estate dealer, CON-
pHained at headquarters that John Jo-
seph Kean, who had acted az collector
and agent for him, had embezzled $500.
| Specimens of his handwriting were
shown the police and they were found
to be identical with the writing in the
letters which the abductor had begun
sending to Muth. Special Officers
Clare and Vale again instituted q
search of the vacant houses in their
district, and they paid another visit 10
the dwellings Nos 423, 425 and 427
North Sixty second street. When Chief
Vale reached the third iioor of 425 he
observed Freddie 81uth standing on
