Jimmy was stolen froni^helr sum mer home at Greeley, Pa^ Jast Miyr. Thp child answers every description In the most minute detail. Mr. and Mrs. Glass arrived tonight to Bee him. They started at 10 o'clock on a long drive to the home of the Mil lers, in a remote section of the county. An announcement as to whether they have Identified the boy as their own Is expected by 1 o'clock ' tomorrow morning. A vehicle was I waiting for the GlaBs couple when they arrived from Jersey City to night. The Millers give a straight and very circumstantial statement of their connection with the child. .Neither can read or write. They say that lasf June, two women and a man appeared at their home with Uie boy. They asked permission to leave the child for a few days. The Millers have not seeu tYiem since.

Finally, when a picture of Jimmy Glass appeared, they compared it with the little boy. and It was enough like him to Induce Mrs. Mll'er to get one of her neigh bor to write to Mrs. Glass. Mrs. Glass sent a photograph, which strengthened tho belief thgit the boy was Jimmy. Flna'ly Mrs. Glass wired she was coming to see the child for herself, and the arri val of the parents tonight was the re sult.

Now we are oping that the dear Weather Man wll] give us pleasant weather for that day and night. During the last week we have had electrical storms, very cold wind and rain for every twenty-four hours. Sunday, Apll 9, was cold like a win ter day and cloudy, gloomy, not a ray of bright sunshine; the wind bio*!?'* a gale, feeling as though it might have blown across a field ofj snow. That night was fold, dark and dismal but the wind less furious. ? that -ras much to be grateful for.
