MODEST BOY'S ALL-NIGHT VIGIL
IN BATHING TRUNKS
HIS CLOTHES ARE STOLEN
Young Messenger Takes Dip in Surf
at Coney Island, Loses Wearing
Apparel, and Is Too Bashful
to Tell the Police
New York. John B. Dixon, a tele-
graph messenger boy who lives In
Brooklyn, went to Coney Island the
other might for a swim. He decided
be would have his bath under the old
fron pler, and forthwith planted his
clothes In a sandhole, having in wem-
ory stories of “beach-combers” who
took away garments under such cir-
cumstances,
Apparently he was spied upon, for
when he came out of the water two
Bours later his clothes were gone.” He
alleges that at this point of his ad-
ventures he took things philosophical-
ly and reflected upon the stars
Finally he wok to walking up and
down the beach, still reflecting. About
tenn p. m. a man met him and said
Say, sonny, is it as hot as all that?”
“Naw.” sald John B. Dixon, messen-
Ber boy. “It's as frozen as a tall
buildin’ in March
“Why don't you go to headquar-
ters?” asked the man when he heard
the details of the case
“Hate to,” sald John B. Dixon, “like
this!"
But finally the chill drove him up
Surf avenue attired In trunks to a
charity tent beside police headquarters
Here his pride prevented him from
telling what the trouble was. He nd-
milled that he didn't have a cent In
his pockets, but the manager of the
relief tent had no sense of humor, and
falled to see the delicately conveyed
paint
So the boy, after a cup of coffee, set
forth again on his weary way. It was
now one o'clock in the morning, and
callly at that. He had another swim,
apd that warmed him up a little, or
rather left his temperature Al the de-
gree required for comfort.
About three a. m according to
Dixon's own story, he met a man who
had been all night at Brighton Heach
The man Invited him to shoot in a
gallery. John HB. Dixon, messenger
boy, sald

spent an hour, which resulted disas
trously for the man, John B. Dixon in
his bathing trunks being rather ex-
pert at the rifle gume
As the gray dawn crept on apace
John B. bade farewell to his enthusias
tic friend and took to the beach agaln,
this time marveling about the wonder
of the sunrise. The sun came up, and
peaple began to take to the water, but
John B Dixon, messenger boy, who
had been under the shroud of dark-
ness all night, felt sensitive, and fan-
cled that all the people in the world
were looking at him
About nine o'clock a man came along
and learned his story He sald he was
Mr. Tompking, an engineer, and ad-
vised Dixon to go back to the relief
tent and ask them if they couldn't do
a little better
John B. went bashfully, and when
this time he told the whole truth and
nothing bwt the truth everybody
laughed except the women attendants,
who felt maternally sympathetic and
called him a “poor little fellow
“But 1 was all to de merry,” sald
John B. Dixon
The relief tent looked up a sult of
overalls, and the messenger boy ap-
peared before his anxious mother and
friends and told the whole tale.
‘Dere’'s some men,” sald he, “dat
gels mean because dey're down on der
shoes, but a man wot steals a kid's
cloes must ha’ bin born that way.”
On the whole, John B. Dixon sald
he thought the loss of his clothes was
