KIDNAPPED BABY ECHO.

MR. AND MRS. PITHER. Owing to the wide interest aroused recently by a case of supposed baby stealing, Mrs. Violet Pither, the central figure in the affair, is planning to leave England for Canada next year with her husband and child. Mrs. Pither was released from prison after a fino of £SO, which had been imposed upon her for the false registration of a child's birth, had been paid by Mr. Frank Vosper, the actor.

Mrs, Pither's husband has finished his duties as a temporary railway porter, but hopes to get a job to last through the winter, and then he intends to emigrate. " We cannot live down our notoriety, he stated, " and we want to get away. I have spent to-day looking for new lodgings, but it's as bad as looking for a job—and looking for the two together is awful." . Mr. and Mrs. Pither expressed a desire personally to thank Mr. Vosper for Ins action in paving the fine. "My wj'G has ljot seen Mr. Vosper," remarked Mr. Pither, " and I have only seen him once. That was outside Holloway Prison, when he handed me the money. At first I thought it was a joke, and I did not thank him adequately for his kindness. I have forwarded a letter to him, but we would like to see him and tell him how thankful wo are for his helping hand.
