That's what Anthony Zens learned last Friday evening, when he arrived in Wilmette from Ch:cago en route north. Anthony is about 10 years old, and he lives in the Guardian Angel orphanage at 2001 Devon a venue, Chicago. His mother is in Waukegan, and Anthony on this particular evening, had escaped from the orphanage and set out on foot to visit her. He was seen wandering about the village by Mathew Weis, Jr., 206 Central Park avenue, a messenger for the Western Union Telegraph company. Weis took the boy to the police station where he told his story. He was finally sent back to the orphanage, but not before his mother had hurried down from Waukegan to see her boy, so the object of his expedition was attained, without the lengthy walk which he had contemplated.
