As the hour approached a clergy, said ".sonny. you'll have to "go,., -we close now".

He . knew ' the address of his - Grandma Campbell in the East - End of the city, but he also knew .his father was at the Royal York and decided to try Wand' find him. He. asked 'the direction of the Union Station, knowing the hotel was opposite it, and boarded a street car, having car fare , with. him. He hadn't sPent all his, money in .the toy department,. But, he didn't take a t 'ficin "Sta- tion car and had, to transfer. at. Yonge.' and Front for • a 'two -stop. trip to the station. Reaching the•. Royal York, Donald entered the lobby, found the elevators and. told the elevator • clerk'his story. and that bis Daddy was at a 'con- vention. He' was hustled; tothe conven- tion hall flOor, and was snort puring forth his story to his' Dad. The problem then was to- find his mother. It took some scurrying .around by taxi and several phone calls; including one. to the police station, before the- party was reunited.
