Show BLUE-GARBED ANGEL RESCUES YOUNG MISS Three-year-old Child Causes Fond Parents Several Hours of Anxiely- Little Margaret Smith, just "going on three," yesterday felt the call of spring and started out to see the big world all by herself. Margaret lives with her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, 761 South West Temple street, and is a bright-eyed, happy, clever and optimistic girl. Margaret didn't know exactly where she was going she just wanted to see the world and was rather careless in arranging her itinerary. She trotted through all the streets of tho neighborhood neighbor-hood until she felt tired and bethought herself of her mamma. But when she looked about her she found herself in a strange environment and among strange people. She had, in fact, come to the corner of Fifth West and Sixth South streets, which to Margaret's childish mind seemed as inhospitablo as a dosert isle. And then she did as most girls of her age do in like circumstances she wept. But just when the world looked its blackest to Margaret an angel came to her rescue in the person of Patrolman G. A. Vance. The officer took Margaret Marga-ret on his arm and talked to hor, and the tot forgot, nil her troubles in the big policeman's company. Not being able to learn Margaret's exact address, Vance carried the foundling to police headquarters ami placed her in the affectionate af-fectionate care of Mrs. Hannah Stokes, matron of the city jail, where Margaret was still romping and telling all about herself and her dolls when a worried mother appeared on the scene and claimed the girl. |
