discrepancy, tlie color of the eves.
Charley's eyes were grav, and the 'boy
nowat McAllister ha eyes a gray-brown,
bordering on blue. Mr. Koss rcojiestcd
that a photograph be taken of tlie boy,
which was done .Monday and forwnrded
to him.
Tills woman, who goes by the name or
Mrs. Heed and several aliases, says site
Is from Louisiana, hut Is reticent regard
ing the chtlil. She kept n home of bad
repute at one time, so It Is reported, at
Hed Hlver Station, In Montague county.
Site Is reported as having $.1,000 depos

McAllister. Monday, and closelv nuos
tloned. He says he was taken from
home by two men in a btiggv. who said
they would carry him to s'chool, that
they give lilm candy, tint his hat fell off
and was lost. He could not give the
names of his playmates, and his recollec
tion of his homo and memory of tho cir
cumstances nl his abduction arc very In
distinct. Mr. Koss tclgraplis that If tho boy is
Indeed found there is S..000 ready for the
men who recovered him.
The two men nro tonlldciit that tliey
