She hurried the lad to Hamburg, and there she disappeared though she was divorced, she had obtained the custody of her Bon, no matter what the court ordered. She had learned her lesson In the divorce court, and she did business another way. Theodore Wood, policeman, and his wife long ago agreed to disagree. They lived at No. 1717 Gates avenue, Brooklyn, and their child, Florence, who was not consulted in the matter at all, stayed on there with her father. One day when Policeman Wood was on post Mrs. Wood stole Into the house and took little Florence away. Fearful of being followed, she hurried the girl to Middletown, N. Y. Wood heard where she bad gone and had a warrant issued. A detective arrested Mrs. Wood there and brought her back to Brooklyn. The case was taken to courL Mrs. Wood was weeping, after a sleepless night in her cell. She couldn't see why a mother should be locked up for taking her own child.

Despite her failings, Mrs. Smith loves the little ones she brought Into the world. She Is hungry for them; she wants to take them to her heart again and hear them whisper Mother. But the court has made Its decree. She must not Bee them. Under the law she Is not regarded as a fit person to bring them up. But she finds them somehow, and oft she runs with them she has learned from the court to be a kidnaper. She knowB her lesson well. Judges may alt and sit, and expound the law to Its last letter, but fathers and mothers have a different code. They are learning to kidnap now. horses, Railway train, automobile, yachts all have been used to kidnap children. It Is anything to get the little ones out of the state where the divorce Is granted, for then It means delay more law and more court decisions. Meanwhile the kidnaper bas the children. And there has never been a conviction for this kind of kidnaping. Wrong as they be, no father or mother who has stolen back a child and hundreds have done so has ever gone to prison. More children are kidnaped In the United States every year by father or mother than by all those criminals who steal children for ransoms or revenge. And the lesson Is learned in the divorce court. After a Runaway Marriage. ' Mrs. Clarke is the divorced wife of CapL Forrest C. Clarke, a civil engineer employed by the Metropolitan Steamship company. CapL Clarke's father is a Boston millionaire, and his Let Us Take a Sleigh Ride, He Sugwife was Miss Maude Buchanan, of gested to the Boys. Dorchester, a suburb of Boston. They ran away and were married seven years ago. A little boy, George, was born, and the mother's heart rejoiced. Then there came rumors of this thing and that, and It ended In a divorce. CapL Clarke had known and liked Dr. Carle-toC. Kremer while both were students at Harvard, find husband and wife would be just the people to take care of little George. So Dr. and Mrs. Kremer adopted little George, then a boy of four, and Surrogate Fitzgerald signed the formal order. Dr. Kremer allowed the mother to see her little boy once a week, and fo" a time Mrs. Clarke obeyed strictly the orders of the court. Meanwhile Dr. and Mrs. Kremer had become greatly attached to the boy. One day when Mrs. Clarke was with him they caught her stealing out of the house with the child. I cant live without him, she wept; so please dont blame me. Tore the Child from the Arms of the Dr. Kremer explained as gently as Astonished Woman. he could that she must be more even If she did love him, for the court had formally given the little fellow Into his possession. In fact, he had been rechristened and was then and Is now Carleton Clarke Kremer. - Petersburg. married twice since. Both father-lovfigand mother-lovured In tha disappearance of little Freddie Krlegor, of Chicago. He was kidnaped twice, once by his father and once by his mother, after two courts had made formal orders In the case. Tho boy was the Bon of Flora and Bert Krteger. His father got the first divorce, and though his mother wns supposed to see her son at stated intervals the futher took him away to Germany, where he placed the lad, who was then 12, with friends In Hamburg to be educated. Mrs. Krlegpr married again and became Mrs. McDonald. Then, with plenty of money at her command, she resolved to hunt for the boy to the end of the earth, despite all the orders of the American courts giving him Into her former husbands custody. The trail led to Hanover, and there detectives in her employ kidnaped the boy for a second time. Madden Defied Court. John E. Madden, the turfman, long separated from his wife, boldly kidnaped his two boys, ten and four years old, rather than let the mother take them to Europe. They were at school In Madison, N. J. ' Madden learned that the mother Intended taking the boys to Europe, and be made up bis mind that she shouldn't So he went out to Madison and visited the boys. It was a snowy day and the ground was white. Let us take a sleigh ride, he said to the boys. They were only too glad. A Blelgh was ordered, the boys climbed In and off they hurried Into' the snow. But Madden drove direct to the railway station, bought tickets for New York and took the boys with him. They, left that night for addon where Ky., Lexington, has a stock farm, and before Mrs. Madden knew the truth the children were out of the jurisdiction of the courts of New York. But nobody arrested the boys father, even though he did defy the courL Mrs. Katherine Cadiex used an automobile to kidnap her son. There had been the usual family jara and eventboy, son of ually the George Cadiex, was committed to the German Odd Fellows home in Union-port- , the Bronx. One fine afternoon an automobile stopped outside the grounds of the institution and from it stepped a tall, handsomely dressed woman of 40 with nine-year-ol- Regained Her Boy. Mrs. Clarke went away, greatly agitated. The following Sunday she called again to see the boy and found that ho was with the physician's sister at the home of I)r. Kremers mother. No. 134 West One Hundred and Twelfth street. Sho went there in a carriage and waited outside. Then Dr. Kroner's sister rame out with the boy and took a Lexington avenue car down to Sixty-fiftstreet, where Dr. Kremer lives. Mrs. Clarke bad a carriage up the blork. As the boy got off the car with his adopted aunt Mrs. Clarke rushed forward and literally tore the child from the astonished woman. In a jiffy she had him In the carriage and away she whisked. There was a woman friend with her, who promptly seized Miss Kremer and gave Mrs. Clarke plenty of time to escape with her boy. A few hours .later and Mrs. Clarke was safe on her way to Boston aboard the steamer Harvard, oddly enough a vessel belonging to the company In which her divorced husband Is employed. Mother-lovhad won the victory Mrs. Clarke had her boy despite all the forms of law. Mrs. Clarke had learned her kidnaping lesson from the dlvoree courL mobile. The three Ward children have been kidnaped twice by their father and two of them rekidnaped by their mother quite a family record! John E. Ward and his wife have been separated for nine year a. The three little girls, Marlon, Vera and Cecilia, lived with their mother at No. 673 East One Hundred and Seventy-fourt- h street. One night Mr. 'Ward went there, demanded to see his children, and Mrs. Ward let him. . There waa a heated argument, and the upshot of It was that the father took the three little daughters away from their mother and placed them at once In the convent of the Holy Cross. Stole Chitdren from Convent. After three days search Mrs. Ward found the girls. Several times she tried to get at them but failed. For days she haunted the neighborhood of the convent until the long vigil made her desperate. Sho saw two of her little ones, Vera and Cecilia, playing In the yard. In she ran and the next moment the two were In her arms. Marlon wasnt there and the distracted mother waa afraid to wait. So off she ran with the two, hatlesa and coatless. At once the sisters notified Mr Ward, but he couldnt find them they were not at their mother's home The husband got a warrant, but be couldnt find the children and tha mother has them still.

Richards, professor of mathematics at Yale, was kidnaped In Chicago by three men whom Mrs. Richards declared were emissaries of his father; bow Mrs. Montague Rolls, of Detroit, paid to get her boy back after his fa ther had kidnaped him there are many more cases. Love causes more kidnaping than money. And the lesson la learned In the divorce court first. 1L-00- ONE OF THE VICTIMS. Old Maid's Interest In the Tale Did Not Last Long. By and by the train came along to where a cyclone had passed two days before, uprooting trees and leveling fences and sweeping houses off the face of the earth, and a young man who had passed through the tragedy got aboard. Of course, we were all anxious to hear all about It, but a woman 40 years old, who waa evidently an old maid, was more anxious than any of the rest. She got the young man down beside her and began: Now, you must tell me just bow It occurred, and what you thought and did. Where were you when the cyclone came? In a farmhouse, ma'am. "Asleep? No, ma'am. I was sitting up, courting a girl Hum! Sitting up at midnight, eh? Yes'm. Sally was sitting on my lap, and I had my arm around her waist when we heard a great roaring and I dont care to hear any more, sir! announced the old maid as she stiffly drew herself up and bitched along. Dont you want to hear how the house went? "No, sir! And how Sally waa blown right off my knees, leaving me there with nobody to hold?" "No, sir!"

When the learned Judge hands down his decision In the cose of Smith vs Smith, docs It mean that at once the divorced father or the divorced mother of the little children must turn kidnaper?
