RUNAWAY IS EASILY TOLD, SAYS WORKER Traveler’ Aid Society Women Narrates Varied Experiences With People at Union Station.

“Almost invariably there's something that marks the runaway,” comjnented the Rev. Ella L. Kroft, who, with Mrs. Vivian Greene, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Travelers’ Aid Society, has charge of the work at the UrHon Station. “Most of the runaway cases are young girls. There’s a fair 'sprinkling of boys, and, the other day, we had a man runaway. He was an old fellow who stepped up to my desk to ask a question, but with the sixth sense that this work develops, I knew that he was uneasy, afraid. A few questions revealed his plight. He was running away from his old wife and five. grown daughters, who lived in Syracuse, N. T. “He exhibited a picture oft he girls and I commented strongly upon their comeliness. The old man grew rather proud at that, and told me how smart his wife was. It wasn’t very difficult to persuade the old fellow that he had better run right

back to Syracuse before such a fine family got away from- him. Hewent.” Fortune Hunters Mrs. Kroft told of two boys, held here, who were bound on a fortuneseeking quest. The boys were 10 and 15 years old,” she said. “The father of the older boy arrived in Indianapolis a few hours after we h.ad notified him of their whereabouts. As both boys were from the same town, we wanted the man to take the 10-year-old boy back to his parents, but the man refused to have the little fellow travel on the same car with his own 15-year-old son. ‘That boy might Influence my son again,” the father commented. “All kinds of questions are asked here and many persons make odd demands. One pretty girl, not lo'ng ago, applied here for money to get to Cincinnati. Suppose she reasoned that ‘travelers aid’ meant an aid to j travel. Anyway, she told quite a

plausible tale about the sick brother who wanted her to come to the Ohio city. “It took quite a bit of questioning to establish the fact that she was simply an Indianapolis girl, who wanted to get away from Inharmonious home conditions. Near Tragedies “We have near-tragedies too. An excited man came here some months ago, said that his wife had disappeared from their home in a Southern State and he was certain she was on her way to Indianapolis. He was right. When she arrived, she was not alone and her affinity never knew how only persuasion and reasoning on the part of some Travelers Aid workers, saved his life. The woman had evidently decided she had made a mistake and it was with r&al relief, we saw that husband and wife depart for their southern home.” Here there w-as an Interruption. A woman hurriedly lnforn ed Mrs. Kroft that a blind girl was waiting

Mrs. Kroft rushed off and came back a few minutes later triumphantly smiling. “Not a second to spare,” she volunteered. “The train was Just ready to move, but I got the girl on safely. Experience With Elopers “We frequently have experiences with eloping couples,” she continued. "One very interesting case was when the daughter of a wealthy Chicago business man left her home. The Chicago papers made much of her disappearance, but it was not established that there was a man in the case. “A day later we noticed a girl here at the station who seemed to bo waiting for someone. She waited for hours, left for awhile, then returned. Finally I got in co versation with her. She said t..at she was waiting for her brother. The telltale marks of the runaway made us suspicious, and as she was very young, when a young man appeared

we questioned him. He was not her brother, of course. The station was simply their rendezvous. The Chicago business man hastened here for her, and his gratitude was unbounded. “But dear me," smiled Mrs. Kroft, "only a small part of our work deals with runaways. Foreigners and immigrants unable to speak English, children traveling alone who must be cared for and placed en route,
