children, two girls and a boy,
Janice, 19; Edith, IT, and Harold
13. The girls were beautiful and
the boy was a model youngster
Ernestine was a wife in a million

belonged to the right clubs, and
Henry was an important member
of the most influential church.
He made the local papers FIRE.
quently. He also branched out
into the more severe forms of
classical music, like Mozart
Beethoven and Bach.
So Henry Hicks had fame Of a
sort and wealth of a sort, and
obviously plenty of happiness. He
had respect as a husband, a
father. a citizen, a business man,
churchman and a fine pianist
THE RESPECTABLE TYPE
He appreciated his blessings
too. In the club car going to and
from his work daily, he read the
financial pages of his morning
paper with becoming dignity. He
acknowledged all the respectful
greetings he got with just the
proper amount of dignity.
He was a model. He was a poor
boy who had made good. He was
better-than-average citizen. And
one morning, he kissed his family
good-by and went off to work.
All that day, he went about his
business in the office, briskly,
quietly and efficiently. That night,
he opened the office door and
walked out into the fine spring
night and disappeared.
If there had been any precedent
for thing like that, Ernestine
wouldn't have started to worry
until at least 3 o'clock the next
morning. If Henry had been a
rumpot, she would have known
that eventually he would have
found his way home. But Henry
never drank.
If he had been that most deSpic-
able of all mankind, the husband
who ogles other women, ErneStine
would have had a fair idea of what
to do. But Henry didn't care for
any woman but her.
If he were a dawdler and a
'come-tardily," she would have
fretted not one whit. But Henry
hadn't missed the 5::35 from Ho-
boken in 18 years.
ERNESTINE ALARMED
So Ernestine was truly alarmed.
She called the office but everybody
had gone. She waited with wildly
beating heart until $50, deviSing
ways and means Of setting up a
search for him without notifying
the police.
By $3.50, she had remembered
once hearing of a man named
Samuel Tufts, who gave his life to
discovering the whereabouts of
people who had disappeared from
their hauntS for one reason and
announcer. AnG as soon as she re-
membered his name, she found it
in the telephone book and gave
him a ring.
Mr.. Tufts told her that if Henry
hadn't shown up by IL o'clock
next morning, he would be glad to
receive her in his New York office,
If she came, she was to bring a
photograph and the most exhaus-
tive personal description of her
husband. Henry didn't show up
that night and IL o'clock saw
ErneStine walking into Mr.. Tufts
office.
She found Tufts very fat man
with little blue eyes which seemed
to see everything and to be per-
turbed at nothing. He EStenaJ -

her story, studying a posed pic
ture of Henry, the while and ask
ing a question here and question
there, some Of them insulting.
Did Mr.. Hicks ever drink. Had
she, during their married life every
had cause to suSpect-er-another
woman? Was he a nervous man,
or irritable? Had they recently
quarreled? Was there anything
financial worrying him?
TUFTS WANT LITTLE TIME
Then he wondered how his-er
accounts were at the brokerage
firm. Ernestine was glad to be
able to tell him were perfect to the
last digit. She had spent the
morning at the firm and a quick
check had found them balanced
to a penny. -
"The only thing I can tell you
then, Mrs. Hicks" Samuel Tufts
said, "iS to give me a little time
to work on the case. He seems to
have disappeared without any
reason whatsoever, and that is
impossible.
There is one possible explana
ton and it is only tentative and
not half as alarming as it sounds
He may be suffering from amnesia
He may have lost his identity foI
little while. But, please don't
worry about that. He doesn't
seem like an amneSia victim. Let
us have q week or So."
Mr.. Tufts set to work unhur
riedly. He spread Henry's picture
and description among the thou
sands of sources of information
at his disposal. He saw that the
picture was shown to various book,
makers and other gamblers.
DENIES HE'S HICKS
He checked back on his life fol-
the last ten years both in the town
in which he lived and in New
York. But Henry Hicks life was
an open book, a dull and unin
tereSting book. There was moth
ing at all. Nothing but one thing
Henry Hicks was a better than
average piano player.
So Mr.. Tufts spread another
batch of descriptions and photo.
graphs of Henry among the key
places of the musical worlds.
A definite bit of information
sent him to the telegraph wire
with the full description of a small
nondeScript man who played the
piano in a vaudeville act showing
at SanduSky, Ohio. Police, at his
request, apprehended the man. Mr..
Tufts went on and interviewed
him in the police station.
The man looked like Mr.. Hicks.
He had the same quiet, efficient
manner that Mr.. Hicks was said
to have. But he was not Mr.. Hicks.
He Indignantly, yea profanely in
sisted on that. He threatened to
sue Mr.. Tufts and the SanduSky
police for false arrest. He de-
manded to be released Immediately
so that he could play his show. He
was released.

night, Then he went and hired a

Because now the brothers, Ellis
worth and Ellis Tippett, II and 20
years old respectively, are in the
District Jail sentenced to serve
from 10 to Is years in the peni-
Tertiary as hardened criminals.
A TRAGIC EXAMPLE
The Tippett case is one of the
most pathetic on file in Juvenile
Court because it exemplifieS so
clearly the tragic results of saw
ings of a few dollars each year at
the expense of the hundreds OF
youngsters who could be made
into useful citizens with proper
aid.
It was in the winter of 1888
when the Tippett brothers first
came to Juvenile Court accused OF
HOUSEKEEPING. Their parents,
hard-working honest citizens,
pleaded for them and they were
placed on probation.
ECONOMY" INTERPRETERS
But ruthless economy at the
Bureau of the Budget and in Con-
gress had deprived the court Of
a probation staff adequate to rem
der this friendly service to the
Tippett boys. So heavily burdened
was the courts small staff that
no service at all could be offered
the Tippett brothers.
So they returned to the same
companions and environment that
caused their first misStep and
swiftly began the descent that led
them to the penitentiary.
Last January the two youths,
armed and staggering drunk,
roamed the city for four nights
robbing gasoline stations and
stores. The crime wave they
started was deplored for 80 min
utes on the floor Of the Senate.
Police captured the youths in a
Virginia hotel. With the older boy
