As requested, here is the additional reasearch on "KIDS."
I deleted the references to the bleating KID as bait to

explanation as to what is going on when someone felt it
proper to use the word, "Kid."
Hope this helps to identify those usages.

As Titty was anchored out in the lake in the Amazon,
she heard the sound of a native boat feeling its was
across the lake, looking for the little island. The
only light they had for reference was the Lighthouse
on Wild Cat Island. These native burglars apparently
were aware that those kids camping on Wild Cat had
hung up that lantern which they could see. As a point
