How City Police Captain Dealt
With Runaway Girl.

Acquainted With New York, and
She Realized 1t Was Not All
That She Had Pictured.

How Minnie, tired of the prosaic life
in her little home town. ran away to
New York and how the New York po-
lice found her and returned her to her
parents-is one of the incidents de-
scribed by Zoe Beckley in an article in
the Peoples Home Journal on "New
York-the Port of Missing Girls and
Boys" Minnie's parents had wired
the New York police, and Capt. Grant
Williams Of the missing persons bu-
reau, by methods the police keep Sc
cret, had located Minnie. The rest of
the incident gives a picture Of modern
police methods rarely presented to the
public.
At half-past seven that same morn
ing, writes Miss Beckley, Minnie Bar
nell, lying awake and worried in lit
tie room in an obscure New York hotel,
was an astonished girl when she heard
a sharp "rat-tat-tat!" at her door and
q voice saying, cts all right, Minnie

A short white later she was looking
into the face of stranger, mild Of
manner and kind Of eye. He was the
sort of man Minnie had heard give
stereopticon lectures in her home
church many a tme-a man easy to
talk to. because you instlnctively
trusted him and felt he would under
stand. Still-there was a certain keen,
steady look in his brown eyes.
Minnie was angry. "Who are you.
anyhow" she flung defiantly. "What
right have you to come here?"
'My name Is Williams VIII

"Well," answered Williams, rubbing
