GIRARD COLLEGE

Missing.

Forlorn and shiverInG. hungry and tired,
a little boy who ran away from Girard
College on Monday to seek adventure was
found early today huddled in the shadow
Of the doorstep at 10Th street and Mont
somery avenue. Policeman Humphreys,
who saw the child, wrapped his coat
about him and took the boy to the 18th
and oxford streets station.
There the little runaway said he was
John Hand and admitted with a touch
of pride the weight of II years resting
on his shoulders. He had scaled the
wall surrounding the college grounds with
Francis CrOst, l3 years old, another in
mate Of the institution, and the two
determined TO see life" The other lad
is now being sought by the police. Hand
said he left his companion asleep in
vacant lot near the place he had been
found.
The two boys had 40 cents between them
when they climbed over the wall. one
fourth Of this was spent before they
were out Of the college grounds a half
hour, when a lurid motion picture adj
yertisement which told OF heroic deeds on
Western plains attracted the young ad-
yenturers.
Realizing that 30 cents would not keep
them in food very long, they satisfied
their future cravings for excitement by
merely looking at bill boards instead OF
going In the movies" At night they
slept in vacant lots.
When their small capital dwindled 10
the point where strictest economy was
necessary, the children dropped pennies
in slot machines and munched peanuts
thus obtained. Apparently they did not
realize the SERIOUSNESS of their might.

Peace Follows Discord.
Discord has given way to harmony in
the Kenney family.
Although there will be no more early
morning concerts at the Kenney home,

musical capacities. They contended that
he struck what musicians call blue"
notes The neighbors agreed with them
and the whole region seemed to feel the
same color. ......

Kenney, his relatives and the neighbors
was responsible for sending him to the
House of Correction.
Kenney's musical inspirations become
especially emphatic about o'clock in
the morning. for that's when he plays
longest and loudest. He attributes this
to the eccentricities of genius. Kenney
attempted everything from ragtime to
but when this latter selection filled the
air the musicians father and brother
tried to drag the performer from the
parlor organ. Kenney struck a few
notes and then a few relatives.
Two policemen took Kenney to the
Germantown police station and when
Magistrate Pennock heard of Kenney's
habits there was much sympathy in his
gaze as <he looked at the other battered
members of the Kenney family But

said there was no trouble with the

Nova Scotia and then to points on the
English coast. Communication with
England over the line was still
being maintained. No hope was held
out, however, for any immediate re-
storation of communication with Ger
