“Where?” Pee-wee demanded.
“There,” Roy said, pointing triumphantly to a heading which put the Temple Camp notice in the shade. “Just read that.”
But for that sensational article, doubtless Hervey would have been more of a newspaper hero instead of being stuck down in a corner. The article was indeed one to arouse interest and call for big headings, and the scouts, gathered about Roy, peered over his shoulders and read it eagerly.
MILLIONAIRE HARRINGTON’S SON KIDNAPPED
Alarm Sent Out for Child Missing More Than Week
TRAIN HAND GIVES CLEW
Police authorities throughout the country have been asked to search for Anthony Harrington, Jr., the little son of Anthony Harrington, banker, of New York. The child, aged about ten, disappeared about a week ago and since then an exhaustive search privately made has failed to yield any clew of the little fellow’s whereabouts.
When last seen the child was playing on the lawn of his father’s beautiful estate at Irvington-on-Hudson on Friday a week ago. From that time no trace of him has been discovered.
The only bit of information suggesting a possible clew comes from Walter Hanlon, a trainman who told the authorities yesterday that on an afternoon about a week ago his attention was drawn to a child accompanied by two men leaving his train at Catskill Landing. Hanlon’s train was northbound. He reported what he had seen as soon as the public alarm was given.
Hanlon said that he noticed the child, a boy, as he helped the little fellow down the car steps, because of an open jack-knife which the youngster carried, and which he good-naturedly advised him to close before he stumbled with it. To the best of Hanlon’s recollection the little fellow wore a mackinaw jacket, but he did not notice this in particular. It is known that the child wore a sweater when he disappeared.
