kidnaper.
"An right. Mr.. Jones'" answered
Willie.
Presently ear came into view. and
the mysterious Mr.. Jones drew the
boy closer to him.

This delighted Willie. He swung
on TO the car quickly. according to
the conductor, Mr.. Jones paid the

and disappeared. after waving fare

tinued until after the car had disap-

asked.

his kldnaper friend.
But Mahoney was not to be foIled
He called his friend Ramsey over
from another part of the car and
showed him Willie. He suggested
that Il might be the missing child.
Then Willie showed the slip saying
that he would be put on at the Hol-

vinced that they had accomplished
more than all the sleuths in the coun-

The boys, now willing companions,

Willie did not see his father or sis

the desk he asked: "oh, have you

pie who had learned he was in the
city.
Emerging from his room he walk
ed up and down the hall on the sec
ond floor with hands clasped across
his breast. Then unable to stand the
suspense longer he went into the lob
by and seated himself. A few news
paper men walked over to talk to him
but he refused to converse.
I'm heavens name, men do not say
word to me: am on the verge Of
nervous prostration," he said. II ex-
pect the boy viii be back tonight, but
can not state positively whether he
will be returned safe and sound. Do
not ask me to reveal the settlement.
That might ruin all the plans"
For more than an hour Whitla
waited in the lobby, smoking cigars
and muttering to himself. IN the
meantime Willie Whitla, the kidnap-
ed boy, feeling comparatively safe in
the hands of his kidnapers, was being
prepared for his return to his father.
The woman at the candy store had
done her duty. She communicated
with the captors of the boy and told
them that the father had made no at
tempt to trace them. The kidnapers
were satisfied. But Mr.. Whitla de-
clines to name the woman In charge
Of the confectionery store. and al
most dares the, police to locate her.
So the boy was brought from his hid
Ing place-where it was no one
knows-to a car line in the east end
Of the city which would bring him
into town quickly. The kidnaper, ac-
cording to Willie, was cheerful
enough. The mysterious one and tho
youngster skipped in schoolboy fash
ion toward the trolley line, testing in
the meantime.
A few rods from the car line the
man stopped the boy. Pulling pair
OF smoked glasses from his pocket he
adjusted them to the lads head with
the remark. You'll look better in
thee" The sides OF the black yarn
cap were pulled carefully over the
boys ears.
A slip. which Willie was to hand
to the conductor. was put in the boys
pocket. 1t read Send this boy to

$40, 200. expecting 1t would be de-
manded Of him there. He was met
by a woman, who detailed to him the
terms OF the kidnapers. With all the
eagerness Of a distracted parent
Whitla agreed to them Immediately.
Detectives in his employ say that he
paid the money. but on this point the
father declines to commit himself.
Half an hour later he returned to
the Holenden hotel and awaited re-
suits.

WILLIE WHITLA
SAFE AT HOME
kidnapped Boy Returned to Father
for $4,000

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March "a
Little Willie Whitla, who has caused
the police of the entire country end
less worry since he YVES kidnapped
from school in Sharon, Pa, last
Thursday. was recovered by his ia
Their at the Holenden hotel at $3.50
last night.
In compliance with an agreement
entered into with the kidnapped boys
father and an agent of the kidnapers
here today. the boy was placed on a
streetcar on the outskirts of the city
and started to the hotel shortly after
O'Clock.
Two boys, G. w. Ramsey and Ed
ward Mahoney, recognized the lad
and taking him in charge, conducted
him to his father, who was in waiting
according to prearranged plan
which he had followed at the dicta-
ton OF the kidnepers. The boy wan
dered about the hotel lobby unan-
nounced, for several minutes, ask
ing bellboys for his father, before
the latter knew his son was In the
big foyer. The moment the anxious
parent heard that strange boy was
in the hotel he rushed across the lob
by, grasped him in his arms and
smothered him with kisses.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glasses and large black cap,
which was pulled down over his eyes
and the father said 1t would have
been difficult to have recognized the
boy in such garb had he passed him
on the street.
Was Well Treated.
Willie is in perfect health. He says
he has been well treated and ever
sine his capture has been constantly
indoors. He believes he was taken
from Sharon to Warren and thence
to Newcastle. Pa. 1t is his opinion,
SANADASSu Ah hoppyp bSnOOAbOy way
that he was in Ashtabula on Satur-
day night at the time his father was
to leave his $4,000 in FIatiron park.
Mr.. Whitla refuses to state whe-
Their he has paid the ransom. He said
that he received a letter from the
kidnapers at his home in Sharon say
ing that If he called at a confectlon-
cry store in the east end of Cleve-
land he would be told how to secure
his boy unframed and well fed"
Shortly after noon he left Sharon
for Cleveland. He was unaccompan-
led. His immediate family and pri-
vate detectives he apprised of the
proposed secret meeting and insisted
that he make the trip alone. Every
one of them was warned that he
must be allowed to go unaided and
no attempt at the capture of the kid
napers be made.
Whitla was certain that IL he
spoiled the plans of the kidnapers he
would never see the boy again. His
experience at Ashtabula served as a
warning.

ROOSEVELT ENJOYS
THAT SIMPLE LIFE
TRUDGES THROUGH SLUSH TO
ATTEND CHURCH
Former President and His Wife Walk
to Services and Partake of Sac
rament with Their
Children

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, March T.
Further evidence that former President
Theodore Roosevelt is leading the sim
pie life was supplied today when he and
mis- wife came trudging through the
slush and snow to church.
They had left Sycamore Hill, three
miles from the village, at 10 o'clock. II
was with his usual rapid stride that
Col. Roosevelt swung along, and Mrs
Roosevelt had difficulty in keeping pace
with him.
Both were in their pew in Christ
Episcopal church ten minutes before
the hour scheduled for services.
Everyone was surprised to see Mr.
and Mrs Roosevelt come to church Oh
foot. Their children, Miss Ethel and
Kermit, were not so brave. All occu-
pied the usual family pew.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt is a member
of the Dutch Reformed church he par
took of the sacrament of the Lords
supper with Mrs. Roosevelt and theil
children.
In a special prayer the rector offered
thanks for the safe return to his home
of the former president and for the
wisdom with which he had conducted
his administration.
The Roosevelt family left the church
before the services were quite over, and
on the way exchanged greetings with
those present.
During the entire afternoon Mr.
Roosevelt remained in his library read
ing. He is thoroughly enjoying a much
needed rest. No visitors have been re-
ceived at Sycamore Hill.
Mr.. Roosevelt is passing his mornings
| indoors and afternoons outdoors. He
| insists on having a certain amount OF
exercise in order to keep in trim for his
