Stays OH Trail From Newark
Across Ferry to New York,
Where Money Gives Out.
KEEPS RIGHT ON ASKING
Then Falls Asleep in Big Cops
Arms Telling How He Lost
Pup-and a Wart.

| Sammy Hollender is nine years old.
and you'll know the sort of boy he
! Is when you learn how he got rid of
wart on, the index finger of his left
hand. just below the nail. He tried
all the charms he knew He had a
crosseyed man look at II and make
passes over it; he made it bleed
Lburied the string. but the wart re-
manned. The summer before last,
while he was in the country with his
mother, he went into saw mill and
! when no one was watching him he
held his finger against the saw. The
wart came off at once. SO did the tip
of his finger. but that was nothing.
He was rather proud. Anybody could
have wart. but there were not many
boys who could show finger cut off
at the first joint.
| So 1t Is not to be wondered at that
Sammy Hollender spent two days, and
went without eating for that time, to
find little pug nosed dog that had
only last Friday. He left his home at
1868 South Twentieth street. Newark,
and went over to the field where the
| bicycle races are held. thinking to
make some money watching parked
automobiles as he had made the 81
cents he had in his pocket in that way.
He was watching a car when q man
came along and offered him a dog
named Bobby. guaranteeing that
Bobby was free from blemish or dis
ease excepting for few fleas.
Hot Dogs Give Energy.
Sammy examined Bobby and spoke to
him, and Bobby grinned his doggish
grin and wagged his tail. Sammy said
he guessed he would take him. IL the
man was sure he only had fieas, and
Bobby became Sammy's property. Both
seemed glad. and Bobby seemed hungry.
Hunger was appeased by three hot dogs
obtained by another boy from his
mothers kitchen without her knowledge
and which Bobby devoured with no
sense of cannibalism. Then Sammy de-
cidcd to take Bobby into big field on
the outskirts of Newark for a romp, and
he lugged the dog there In his arms.
| But the minute he set Bobby down
Bobby was Off like a streak.
The boy thought the dog was fooling
and set out In pursuit. Bobby ran
through several fields, down street
and across the Erie Railroad tracks
with Sammy after him, and then he got
TO trolley car tracks and ran down
them until he was only a speck in the
distance. Sammy vas tired by this time.
SO he waited until trolley car came
along He boarded the car, paid Is
cents fare and kept his head sticking
out of the window looking for Bob. But
he did not see the dog, and presently
the trolley stopped at a ferry.
1t seemed logical to Sammy that
Bobby had gone across the river on a
ferryboat. since he had followed the dog
on a trolley car and had seen nothing
of him. lie had a nickel left, SO lie
boarded the ferry ana came to Manhat-
tan, satisfied that he would find the dog
here. It was nearly dark when he got
off the boat, but he searched the neigh
borhood OF the ferry house for Bobby,
"tN shth WrHh diouS tHt bibEtSL slTcet
that led from the dock. looking for the
dog and asking people IL they had seen
him. But no one had.
HuddIes in Doorways.
Darkness came and Sammy got SO
tired that he went into doorway. hud-
died into small bundle and went to
sleep. He was hungry. but he didn't
mind that so much. What he did mind
was that Bobby had deserted him. and
1t made him feel very sad and lonesome.
He crawled out OF the doorway early
Saturday morning. rummagcd in a barrel
In front of a restaurant until he found
half eaten apple and this he ate for
breakfast. And that was all he had 10
eat until Saturday night, when man
who regretted .aat he had no. seen
Bobby gave him an ice cream soua.
So all Sunday passed. and last night
about Q o'clock Patrolman Cha-Ns An
derson. standing at Ninth avenie and
Forty-second street. found him.
Anderson put the little boy on his
shoulder and carried him 20 the West
Fcrty-seventh street station, where the
policemen washed him. gave him bot
coffee and roast beef sandwiches and
promised faithfully that they would try
to get him dog. And Sammy showed
them his stump finger and grew very
proud when they marveled and told him
ne was the only boy In the world with a
finger like that. and then he went to
sleep In big cops arms. Along about
