i iN WHO PUT SEF ON SALE FOR S500 Rich Pennsylvanian Wants Hardy to Help Hunt for Missing Son, WOULD MAKE HIM HEIR. Former Sailor Ignores Letters of Girls Trying to Meet Him. Jack Hardy, the young man who! offered, through The Eventing World, te sell 00, recelved the bona fide response © bis proposition to-day, It came from H. Stone, who wrote that he, ) a wealthy resident of Scranton,| and would be willing to pay Hardy's purchase price in {nstall- ments, He wants Hardy to direct a aroh for hig thirteen-year-old son, who {s missing from home. Mr, Stone, who gave Ms address as No, 918 Prescott Avenue, Scranton, sid he would be willing to take \fandy Into his home as a member of) iis family, Hardy said to-day he| would consider Mr, Stone's offer. Most of the other ceplies received) Hamly were of @ more or less frivolous nature and he said he had uo time for these. He repeated that ils offer ts a purely business propo- sition. “Several girls have written to me saying they were lonesome and they thought I wes too, and suggested neetings,” said Mr. Hardy to-day. “I im paying no attention to letters of; Uuls sort, for I was perfectly serious fm my offer. Some people aleo seem to think that 1 am merely looking for a some, There is nothing to that either, “The Evening World's story has veen Sashed all over the country by now and i expect to get a responsible answer within the next few days. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything for anybody who buys me. ‘One of the flock of reporters, who have besieged my room at No, 28 West 37th Street since my offer was vrinted, told me he believed that tn « few weeks the public would read n the papers that a new moving pio- ‘ure featuring ‘Jack Hardy, the man who offered to sell himself for $5,009, was about to be produced. They need not be afraid. This 1s no press agent stunt, “It has also been suggested to me that a contract providing for volun- tary slavery would not be legal and that I could go back on my bargain) after getting the money. This really made me angry. Anybody who knows me will tell you that I never go back on my word, Anybody who considers buying me can rest assurred that I will go through with the thing to the} end, no matter if it means my life, “As I announced yesterday, I want he money to help a woman who has been more than a mother to me. I originally stipulated that $3,000 of the imsei? for fivst apparently” y purchase price must be paid when| the bargain ts made. On thinking it over in the light of the scepticism that has greeted my offer in some quarters 1 have decided that 1 will make good for any prospective pur- chaser and prove my sincerity before the full amount is pad. “Therefore I will go through with the bargain with any suitable person who will pay down $500 in cash now, $2,500 to be paid at the end of six months if I have proved a satisfactory purchase, and the remaining $2,000 to my owner pleayes, This ¥ that I am on the level ing’ that my perfectly has caused among my oft! to me, I have been told that I am a 4ood showman to have put such story across, but I repeat (hat 1 had and bave no idea of theatrical work. “A lady yould make uthleas and unprepossessing, serious offer friends and acquaintances |s distas' good if an old woman, but ich, should decide to pay the money 1| a’ marry me. I told her that vould have tol pass on all the ° nade and would have the final say as to my disposal, but that there were no strings to the offer." > BOY FISHERMEN reporter asked whether I!

House, who was the power dehind the Wilson Admin- istration until the strings got twisted, returned from Europe to- day on the Olympic to find his household divided, as i were. The colonel and his wife expected to go from the pler to an apartment they have leased at No. 13 East 74th Street. They found that part of their furniture had been removed to the 74th Street apartment before the moving van men went on strike and the rest of it is in an aprtment the colonel has given up at No, 116 East 53d Street. Col. House cannot get out of his 534 Street apartment nor ,can @ tenant who has taken the apartment get in. The colonel positively refused to talk about politics or the Leasue of Nations. He would not disouss the Trosult of the Maine election, but did not appear to be deaply depreased about dt. In a three months’ tour of Burope, Col. House visited England, France, Holland and Belgium. Ho was par- tioularly impressed by the remarkablo eoonomie recovery of Belgium from the effects of the war and by the spirit ‘and energy of the Frenca people. “Germany,” said Col, House, “has begun to deliver coal to France under the terms of the Spa agreement and this has proved a great encourag ment to French industry. The coal question ts the leading question of Europe to-day, overshadowing even the disorders and disturbances in Southern and Eastern Europe, “The Continent and England were overrun by American tourists this summer, { should say that about half of them were people who had crossed the ocea for the first time, They appeared to be liberally sup- plied with money and spent it lavish- ly. Tho battlefields of France at- tracted a@ majority of them. “L found none of the alleged re- sentment toward 4.mericans which is said to be prevalent in France; on the contrary, I found the kindliest feeling toward the United States, in- dividual Americans or groups of Americans may find themselves un- popular in France, but they are the sort of people who would be unpep- ular almost anywhere, “Englaml is interesting. With a nation-wide gtrike threatening, with industrial conditions topsy-turvy and with the Irish question assuming the proportions of a menace, the people arg calm, almost stolid.
