Kidnapped, They Think.

kidnapped" is the general opin-
ion of the fate of little Horace Mar
vim, to judge by the letters that
have come to this Office since The
Sunday Times instituted the collec-
ton of opinions and theories about
the case, a course now followed by
other newspapers throughout the
country, in the endeavor to dispel
the cloud OF mystery surrounding
the disappearance Of the lad.
Many Of the readers of this paper,
like ten-year-old Virginia Mckinley
whose letter is printed today, are
satisfied TO state their firm convic-
ton that the child was stolen.
Others go so far as TO name the
person or persons whom they think
guilty of the crime, and still others
suggest methods for finding the
missing boy.

Question the Child.

One correspondent advises that any
child suspected OF being little Horace,
even If he is clad in girls clothes.
should be closely questioned, since it
is the writer's idea that Horace knows
his own name, ana that his father is
physician and. though he were in the
power Of unscrupulOus men, he would
not hesitate to avow his identity 10 one
who boldly approached and interrogated
Kim.
This course, It must be remembered,
has been honored more in the breach
than in the observance. Clue after clue
has been reported, almost invariably in
the same terms-that somebody has seen
grown persons. whose actions aroused
suspicion, accompanying a child on a

late. No body has confronted the per
sons while they have been seated III a
moving car, and unable, therefore, to

Tall and Low PIsn.s.

Tall growing plants are not suit
able for beds near the paths, espe
cially when those beds are close to
the house. The tall growers should
be given a place somewhat in the
background, where they can be seen
at little distance and will not OBJ
struct the view. Low growing plants
close to the path or under the win
dows can be looked down upon with
most satisfactory results. For such
beds there are few flowers superior
to the verbena, and by pegging the
branches down during the earlier
stage of the plants growth the en-
tire surface of the ground can soon
be covered. The scarlet varieties
are as brilliant as the geranium. If
the seed pods are cut off as soon as
seen, this plant will continue to
bloom during the entire season.
