They Deserted the Buggy-Sevefo
Penalty for Diabolical Crime in
Pennsylvania.

Sharon, Pa, March 20.-It is con-
fidently believed by the family Of lit
tie William Whitla that some word
will be received during the day from
his kidnapers. The lads father is Of
the opinion that the abductors are
now safely ensconced in some retreat
and that after fifty hours OF nervous
suspense he will receive word from
his child. The fact that a small
army of police have failed to locate
any tangible trace of the boy and his
captors after they had deserted the
buggy at Warren, Ohio, has had a de-
pressing effect upon the hopes Of Mr..
and Mrs. Whitla and their only de-
sire now is to open negotiations with
the kidnapers. From the attitude of
the parents the probabilities are they
are willing to secretly pay the ran
som Of $4,000 If given an opportu-
nifty to do so. Money is no object.
They want their child.
Neither Mr.. and Mrs. Whitla or
Williams little sister Salina, 10 years
Of age, have slept very much since
the kidnapping occurred at $3.50 a. M,
Thursday morning. They are appar-
emily resigned to the fact that the kid
napers have the upper hand in the
affair and anxiously await some in
telligence from the men as to what
they are to do to get William back.
Every clue, no matter how slight, is
being run down by the boys uncle.

the MESSAGE OF The WIND

When the wind blows through tn
treetops,
And the branches sing a song,
1t carries on a message,
That makes the weak one strong.
1t whispers to the lover,
Take courage, lad, and try,
For No" is not her answer,
Just watch her laughing eye.
1t sings around the cabin,
And cheers the lonely wife,
He did not mean to stay. dear,
He loves you best in life.
It laughs with laughing people,
1t means when someone cries,
1t blows aloud in anger
When some poor woman signs.
It whistles for the children,
It roars a chorus loud,
As gentle as a zephyr
When babies crow aloud.
It's all things to all natures,
To some it whispers low,
But don't you get him angry
For then you'll hear him blow.
