He knocks the boy down, confiscates his papers, and sits down on a bench to read. Presently, the following meets his eye: "Heiress Is Willed Another Fortune. Ethel Van Rocks to Get $1,000,000 the Day She Chooses Husband." This is right in Henry's line, and he swears that Ethel Van Rocks shall be his. He steals a bouquet and starts for the heiress' mansion, where he is shown into the parlor and told to wait. When Miss Van Rocks makes her appearance, Henry suffers a shock. She is carried in the arms of her maid, and she is just eighteen months old. Nothing daunted, however, Henry fells the maid and escapes with Ethel. Disguising her in a long linen duster, a hat and a veil, he starts for the house of a minister of his acquaintance who is deaf and almost blind. The police, however, are now on the tracks of the kidnapper. Ethel drops her rattle, by which she is traced to the parsonage. There she is rescued and Henry is hauled off to jail.
