Little Teddy Urquhart 10 back from his
rambles. So is Amos Norman. who IL IL
years old, or four years older than Teddy
i-rouhart. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit's
Aock Of official automobiles will now have
the Long Island dust wiped off them all
day to-day. Deputy Commissioner Art
OKeefe can again go ba ck to his duties (.
So can the Brooklyn regular and the B. r. T.
irregular detectives. And Teddy Urqu-
hart's mother is going to have the white
Buster Brown suit that Teddy wore while
seeing the world done up with lots Of blu.
ing in the water.
Teddy U~rquhart's home is at the Pouch
Annex, 31S Greene avenue. Brooklyn. and
his very youthful father ia confidential
secretary to President Edwin Winter Of the
B. R. T, as everybody knows who has been
reading the papers since Teddy Urquhart
and Amos Norman went way at noon last
Tuesday. Amos Norman's father lie an
engineer, who lives at 507 Myrtle avenue.
There is no woodshed at the back Of the
Norman home. but there is one fully
equipped on Ne Pouch Annex premises,
where Teddy lives.
Amos Norman's record was spotless
around Public School 45 in Lafayette avenue
until the first Of May. Then Amos started
to play hockey and the school had held
its commencement and Mamie Peters had
won the medal for reciting Il Live For
Those Who Love Me" before Amos had q
chance to stop playing hockey. All through
May and as much Of June as possible Amos
hookeyed while getting in training for the
great jaunt that has turned Myrtle and
Greene avenues upside dow all week, not
to mention the B.. r. T. Offices in Montague
street and Art O'Keeffe's police shop In
State street.
Teddy Urquhart played hockey from
School Is only three times in his life, as hs
hopes to die. There is absolutely no entry
against him on a single Brooklyn police
blotter. The only time he fell from grace
was one Friday last winter when Charley
Francois, the barber at 200 Greene avenue,
near Pouch Annex. was giving his windows
their weekly scrub and Teddy threw a
eoiled SNOWFALL at Timmons's skye terrier
and the sno landed on Charley's clean
windows. Charley spoke to Teddy's mother
about the affair, but it was finally hushed
up and ever after Teddy walked on the
other side OF the street from the barber
shop.
Teddy and Amos played hockey a week
ago yesterday and stayed in a Brooklyn
park until eight minutes past dinner time.
Thoy played hockey on two other days
last week, got caught in the rain and came
home feeling like an umbrella. Mrs.
Urquhart and Principal Behan had con-
ferences. Little Victor Goetz came to
Teddy's classroom on Tuesday last and

see Teddy on a matter Of grave importance.
The message sounded good to Teacher and
she sent Teddy out Of the room in little
Victor Goetz's care.
And q few minutes later, so Teddy and
Amos say, they began TO hurry down Grand
avenue to get some place else. Teddy says
they walked and walked and walked and
walked and walked and walked and walked,
Teddy IN his fancy Buster Brown clothes
and Amos in a starched white waist and
scarlet cap that just covered his topknot.
Diagonally across from Public School IS
is the greengrocery shop Of Freddy kayssr.
at the corner OF Classon and Greene avenues.
Out in front Of Freddy Xayser's store are
wonderful gourds Of golden yellow and
other marvellous green and yellow vege-
tables and fruits from back Of Jamaica, 80

parts. Amos told Victor Goetz and Teddy
Crquhert that many wonderful things like
these grew down back Of Jamaica snd that
when o got out to the frontier near River
head you woulc find Indians, which is
partly true. So ali the lads turned in the
general direction Of Jamaica.
They had a talk with little Jennie Nor
man, a younger sister OF Amos, who is a
very charming young lady, before starting
for Jennie and wanted her to come along.
Amos said Jennie was only a kid and
couldn't stand the trip. Teddy Urquhart
argued for Jennie. however, and said that
the presence of a girl would give the party
a family gathering look and so would ward
Oh suspicion. Jennie settled the argument
by saying that she was going home TO tell
ma. So the rovers hurried away from
there.
II was terrible late, Amos and Teddy

DAY afternoon. There was a passenger
train standing at the station, so the gentle

The train was slow in starting and ia the
meantime little Victor Goetz was growing

Brooklyn. and got home that night in time

Amos Norman. They hadn't airy money,
but when they told the conductor that they
wanted TO go to Riverhead, where Julia
Wslty, a first cousin OF Amos lives, the
conductor said they could come along this
time, but never TO do it again. In the dark
they overlooked the slight matter of get
ting on at Riverhead and were carried 10
Janesport. Ave miles further on.
Amos had been 10 Jamesport once and
had stayed al the home Of a Miss Black
man there. So Amos took Teddy's hand
and they started 10 the Blsckman home.
Miss Blaesman gave them about two din
ners each and put them to bed and then
she eat down and wrote a special delivery
letter to the Urouhart home in Brooklyn.
And when che had mailed the letter and
had retired for the night Amos and Teddy
managed to wake UP somehow in the mid
