A few hours after a photograph of Benners S. Milligan, twelve years old, of 1475 Columbia road, who had been missing from home since May 29, was printed in The Evening Star yester- day, the youthful wanderer was re- turned safely to his parents. Benners left his home last Tues- day, ostensibly to attend class at the Junior High School. When he failed to return his father, John D. Milligan, a retired naval officer, started & search, but a vain. He notified the police and declared he had been as- sured that a photograph and deserip- tion of the missing lad had been given |to every policeman in Washington, and even circulated throughout the country. . When Mrs. Milligan stopped several policemen, however, and asked 1if they had yet found her son the: stared in wonder and admitted the: | had never heard of him, Mr. Milligan | declared.

Inquiry at the | bureau proper, however, developed the Ifact that there was no record there to ever show the boy was missing. It was then that Mr. Mulligan con- eived the idea of printing his son's picture in The Star. Less than three hours after the paper was circulated, a soldier from Fort Meyer brought Benners home. He sald the lad had been at the military post for days, trading the doughboys rides on his bi- cycle for food and lodging. When the wife of a_soldier saw the lad's photo- graph in The S rhe led it to the attention of the good-natured troopers and they hurried Benners back to his nta. f he Milligan, lice. runs away again,” said Mr. “I won't bother with the. po- 1'll Just come to The Star.” ummer styles, with hand embroidery.
