Sobbing and moaning In fitful
sleep, little four-year-old Owen
Lehman, son of Mr. and Mrs. o.
w. Lehman, 724 South c street,
lay all night in the rear part OF
the Savoy theater wnere ne had
been imprisoned early yesterday
afternoon by an unknown young
man for whom the entire police
force is now searching.
Disappeared Yesterday.
Little Owen disappeared from
the street where he was playing
Yesterday afternoon and little
later he was seen by a neighbor
with a strange young man near
the Savoy theater. That was the
last heard or seen of the little tot
until this morning at 10 o'clock
when, scratched and bleeding, he
found his way out of his dark
prison and staggered to his home
There his frantic mother, who
has been Ill for two weeks, and
who was almost crazed with grief
over his absence, clasped him In
her arms and gradually, as he re.
covered his senses, he told his
parents how he had been lured
nto the theater and how the
strange man mistreated him.
Searched All Night.
All night Lehman, the boys
father, kept up a search for the
missing csild and every policeman
was furnished with description
and instructed to be on the look
out. The sudden disappearance ri
the boy, however, completely baf-
fed the officers and not a clue
could be found. The parents had
almost abandoned hope this morn
ng when little Owen alone walk
ed to the house.
Cried Himself to Sleep.
After being left in the dark
theater he had tried In vain to
find a door but everything was
locked tight. Crying and Shrek
ing he had finally fallen to sleep
from sheer exhaustion and the.
when he awoke late this morning
he saw just ray of light coming
through the crack of a heavy ~al-
vanized door leading to the stage
entrance. After tugging at this
door he finally pushed 1t open
enough to allow him to squeeze
through but his face and han is
we're badly scratched on the pag-
ged iron.
Could Hardly Speak.
At first the lad could hardy
speak. He seemed stunned. AL
around his neck were scratches
and finger marks. When finally
his dazed condition wore on he
told the story of having been IN
duced to go into the theater with
the strange man, who 1t appears
must have used pass key on
the front door for the theater has
been locked up for months.
Once inside the dark theatei
little Owen said the man began &c
hug and kiss him and when ne
became frightened because 1t was
dark he says the stranger showed
his finger down his throat.
Soon afterwards the man disap
peared and Owen says he began
to cry and thus he cried most oi
the night, while his parents, al
most crazed with apprehension,
were less than a block away. The
thick brick walls Of the theater,
however. could not be penetrated
by the childish voice and had he

calculable weight of his face, said
nothing.
"Good-by. Thank you," said he
and turned away.
At the door, in the hall, with his
hat in his hand, her quick step caused
him to pause and turn. Her eyes
were on him. Why was he different,
why did the big hands hang in way
that meant strength, and the clothes
seem to cover the body Of a giant?
81 wish-I wish you could even
yet believe me your FRIEND she said.
II do he replied and went away.
A little later Judge Hayden's face
looked in at the parlor door. There
was Isabel with her head down on
the history of the Florentine Com
mOnwealth.

After long convalescence Hodge
was nearly we'll again, and mean
while he had been elected mayor.
Soon after that he sat with Heating
by the stove in the store. They were
silent. After while Hodge said:
Heating, I'm going to Judge Hay
den's now"
Heating turned his keen eye to
Hodge.
What for?" asked he.
'To ask Isabel to marry me-"
said Martin.
Half an hour later he rang the
door bell at Judge Hayden's house
and was admitted by Isabel She
greeted him in a kindly way and
was happy that he was we'll again.
He said nothing to this. They sat
down on the gold and blue chairs,
she a little uneasy. Her hair had
rose in it again; her face was little
older and of a superior delicacy of
feature. Her eyes were pensive, kind
ly and calm. She had laid down on
the table to receive him, history of
the Florentine Commonwealth. 1t
seemed to her, as she sat there, that
he had slightly changed; doubtless his
long illness had done that. He had
little or no color, and his face was
not quite so heavy but ruggeder, a
race that seemed to weigh down on
her. He had become more abrupt
and direct during the latter years.
and so he did not allow her now to
attempt forced and impossible con-
versatiOn. He said:
Isabel, [ have come because | had
to. That is all there is to it, Per-
haps if hadn't been sick I shouldn't
have had to. The things I said be-
fore, are just as true today as they
were then. | know, as I knew then,

Martin P. Hodge as | was before. I
am still honest; I am still clean; |

want to marry you"
She was on her feet with her hand
outstretched in quick, mute appeal,
as though to stop him. She was
plainly trembling.
cob, Mr.. Hodge! PIease-forgive
me! forgive mel" She now had her
hand to her head strangely. 1t came
over him in a numb way that he had
hurt her. He arose and stood look
ing at her a moment. She, weighed
down by what seemed to be the in

A cITYs CORRUPTION.
The international Sunday School Les
son for Aug. is "The Close of
Paul's Second Missionary Journey
4 Cornith." Acts 18: 1-22,
(BY WILLIAM T. ELLIs.)

It should be required of every
preacher, editor and moral teacher in
city that at least once every few
months he make quiet tour of all
phases Of city life-through the ten
amusements; the variety theaters,
taurants, the mill districts, the for,
eign quarter, the fashionable hotels
and the aristocratic clubs. For the
first problem of our day is the prob
lem of the city, and 1t cannot be solv-
ed by men who have only second
hand knowledge of it.. An open-eyed
view of things as they are is the first
essential equipment Of a reformer.
Whoever would improve the existing
order must make al Ibis theories bend
to the ascertained facts.
Only of late is the Christian church
awakening to the fact that this ire
mendous and increasing city problem
requires new methods and new men.
1t is in vain that we endeavor to meet
the exigencies of this extraordinary
occasion by country church methods of
several generations ago. An entire
new book of tactics needs to be writ
ten by the leaders OF the armies Of
righteousness. For the church sim
ply must make good at urban centers.
If she fails there, she meets her Wa
terloo. The tide Of emigration on the
part of metropolitan congregations
from the districts where there are the
most people, simply because these peo-
pie are no longer of the old-fashioned,
church-going type of native-born Amer
leans, is an almost incredible blunder.
The apostolic church boldly attacked
the city problem. We find Paul face
to face with Corinth and all that is
involved. The church of today cannot
be behind the church Of the first
century.
Tho Wickedest City.
There has been more than a little
talk as to which city on this western
continent merits the unenviable dis
tinction of being the wickedest.

would serve to no good purpose. On
this point there may be dispute, but
1t is generally conceded that in the

Corinth held the palm for depravity
Its very name had been changed into
an adjective, and ito CorinthianiZe'

like the latter city, situated at 6
crossway of commerce, Corinth extend
ed hospitality to all the vices of al
the people of it's day. 1t was the com
mercial and political capital O
Greece, and its games were famous
SO that the apostle who dwelt in the
midst of this multiform life for yea
and a half more than once used the
figure of the Corinthian games t.
typify the Christians struggle will

Nothing is wholly bad, and when
