SORRY END FOR CHILO ROMANCE. Girl of Sixteen Finds Herself De- serted by Her Sweetheart and Is Held as a Vagrant by the Police. SHE RAN AWAY AT TWELVE.

Sane was taken from a furnished room at No. 602 Grand street yest where she lived for two weeks with Frank Costanzo, a bar- ber, eighteen years old. Four years ago the young couple eloped and occupied a bare litte room at No, 22 anton street. Upon com- plaints from the girl's parents the} youngsters were arrested and ewere| committed to the House of Refuge. They remained in that Institution for two years and every Bunday during that perlod they met in the chapel during the services. Not alone did they throw loving glances at each other, but at times they found opportunity to slip each other love notes, When the girl was released she went to live with her mother at No. 290 Eliz- aveth street. Six months after the| 4irl's release Costanzo also obtained his| liberty. He went to work for a barber 1t No, 197 Norfolk street. He then started to look for als old sweetheart,| and after some time met her in Eliza-| beth street.
