Only ten days ago a wolf got out, and was, I believe, traced up in this direction.

For a week after, the children were playing nothing but Red Riding Hood on the Heath and in every alley in the place until this 'bloofer lady' scare came along, since then it has been quite a gala time with them.

Even this poor little mite, when he woke up today, asked the nurse if he might go away.

When she asked him why he wanted to go, he said he wanted to play with the 'bloofer lady'." "I hope," said Van Helsing, "that when you are sending the child home you will caution its parents to keep strict watch over it.

These fancies to stray are most dangerous, and if the child were to remain out another night, it would probably be fatal.
