parents can aid him In hla quest. The
youns; man has searched for bla moth
er eight yeara, and It waa only after
he had been In Portlaud several days
that he learned the namea of bis par

The story old by young .Noble while
he was searching the records In the
Clackamas County Court house In an
effort to find out when hla parent
were married, and If they had over
lived In . this county, sounded like a
chapter from fiction.
Boy Runs Away.
Tha boy waa left at an orphan
asylum In Chicago during the World's
Fair In 1893 hy hla parents who, be
thinks, soon after separated. He waa
adopted by a family named Nelson,
of 8arles, North Dakota, but soon ran
away and haa since taken care of him

he waa born In that city on March 0,
1880. His father was William Henry
Noble, a barber, but the document did
not give hla home address. The young
man tried to find a marriage certifi
cate, but waa unsuccesaful. Ho waa
likewise unsuccessful In finding the
certificate In Oregon City. In search
ing the records of the Odd Fellows In
Portland he found a man who aald
that the elder Noble had worked In a
barber shop at 89 North Third atreet,
and had lived In Fulton Tark.

man bad made his errand known tbo
stranger aald:
"Why, you are young Noble. I
would know our face anywhere. I
knew your father well." The atranger
could tell him nothing, however, of
the present whereabouta of his par
