WHY DOESN'TPAPAI COME?” ASK THO DESERTED IDES Children’s Society Fears Par- ents of Boys Left in Store - May Have Killed Selves. _ WORK AWAITS FATHER. “Boomboomdoo!” Thunders Little Jimmie, Meaning “Wanna Go Out an’ Play.” Richard Hefter, five years old, who, with his brother, James, aged three, was abandoned by thoir parents in! the vestibule of Gimbel's store, Friday evening, because they were “down to | their last cent,” puckered up his mouth in tho rooms of the Children’s Society, to-day, and then, as tears| coursed dyvn his cheeks, plaintively | asked: “Why 4on't papa come?” “Papa has gone away to find work so be can start his home again with you and Jimmie,” replied Miss A. Pencheon, manager of the Children's Department. “Now, you must be aj nice boy or they won't let you be a policeman.” “I don’t want to be a p'liceman any more,” replied Richard, “I want my mamma and papa, [ want to take Jimmie and go on back home. There's lots of nice children to play | with here, but ft ain't like bein’ home with papa and mamma.” A few moments afterward, how- ever, he and Jimmic were playing in the kindergarten with other children of their age and were shouting lust- ‘ty, For the moment the great shadow in their life had been for- gotten, Ernest K. Coulter, superintendent of the society, sald he was able to draw only two conclusions from the failure of the parents to call and claim Richard and Jimmie. ) “One is that they have left the city and have not seen the articles print- ed, saying they would receive plenty of help,” he said. “Another is that they have harmed themselves. I am sure the announcement in The Even- | ing World, Saturday, that they would | get help by communicating with that paper would have been a tremendous ) incentive for them to come forward. | “Besides that, the Society has been | besteged by wealthy persons who are | anxious either to adopt Richard dnd | Jimmie, or to have them put in aj school where they can be well-reared and educated. “{ want to say empnatically that it the parents will come forward they will not be prosecuted by this society, Instead, they will receive great help, They will be able to open their little home again and to take their children ‘back, and begin a new epoch in their a. lives, with work for the father and plenty of food.and comfort for all.” Miss Poncheon tried again to-day to learn something definite from Richard regarding his home.
