A kid was taking a nap and got kidded."
"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.
