Little Boy Lost By MARGHANITA LASKI (Aaibot .f Eoflhh") : SYNOPSIS: Ii Jean, or is he not, the ton of HlUry tValnwrljht! Hilary, whose wife was Wiled by the Gestapo durlnr the war, has eome to France to find his little lost son. The search has taken him through the byways of Paris and now to a Catholic orphanage In a provincial town. Pierre, his French friend, has been of much help In the search, but Hilary " has come on along lo see the small boy who may or may not be the child he Is seeking. Now 10 on with the story CHAPTER 18 it. lot It was after five o'clock and ne was walking up the hill to the orphanage. Again Sister Therese opened the door. Behind her he could see the white face ol a nine ooy, uie Dig eyes gleaming with radiant excite ment. "Ah, monsieur," he cried, and ran forward. Hilary said cheerfully, "Well, what Is to to be today?" Jean breathed rather than said, "The trains I" They et off down the hill, the little boy chattering without ceas ing. This evening they saw not only the goods-train but two shunt ing engines ana me luugcu-iui ytw- senger train. "Oh monsieur." Jean gasped ecs tatic. His hand reached out con vulsively and clutched Hilary's rain coat and held on to it tight. " Later the boy followed Hilary to the cafe walking without hesitation to the bench he had occupied the previous evening. Hilary said, "Jean, I've got a present for you." . Jean said Incredulously, "A pres ent? For me? Is It my Dirtnaayv - Hilary was reminded of his mis Ion. He said with a forced laugh "You should know when your birth day is Better tnan i aor The bov looked sadly at Hilary, "I haven't got a birthday. Do you think, monsieur, that that's why no one has ever given me a present? Hilary said quickly, "No, of course It Isn't." He meant his voice to sound reassuring, but It came out choked with anger. The child looked frightened, but whispered doggedly, "The other boys nave oirtnuays, ana tney get pres ents." - Hilary schooled his voice to gaiety, "You're getting a present now. Would you like to see what It 1 s?" He brought the parcel up from un der the table and held It out to the boy. Very, very slowly Jean's face creased Into a wondering smile. Sud denly he put out his hand and ' snatched the parcel, holding It close to his breast. The boy's smile was of Ineffable, Incredulous Joy. Gently, gradually, still clasping It close to his breast, he plucked the paper from the par cel, and at last the gloves fell out and lay In his lap. He looked down at them dreamily as If he feared to break this mo ment and awake. Hilary found he was biting his Up until It hurt.. He ' made himself relax and said gently, "Wouldn't you like to try them on? itft mo notp you." With uneasiness mounting Into , panto he tried to pull the red rlb . blng over the red fists. The gloves were too small I The boy looked at the glove. He plucked It off, took a glove In each hand, held one fiercely crushed In each fist. Then he burst Into tears. Hilary hugged the child to him, S leading in anguish, "Don't cry, ean, please don't. Don't think about those silly old gloves any more." Through his sobs the boy shout ed, "They're not silly old gloves," and Hilary pressed him closer and muttered, "Don't cry, Jean, please stop orying," -. Gradually the boy's agonized weeping died down. Hilary heard him stammer between convulsive sniffs, "It was my present they're nit. cillv AM i,Wm "Look. Jean." Hilary whlsnered "Couldn't we pretend that thev wore your present for your last birthday? You've Just grown out of them and your real present for this birthday Is coming tomorrow!" Jean opened his fists and gazed sadly at the crumpled gloves. He asked. "Could I keep them If we -prcrcnciea uiair" "Why, of course you could," HI lary reassured him. The boy said doubtfully. "When I grow too big for my clothes, Sis ter Clothllde gives them to Louis.1 Hilary said, "I'll see that they're not Riven away." He pulled out his handkerchief. "Blow." he said, and Jean obediently blew, and then smiled a watery stoe. He watched the bov furtively slide the gloves from off the table, crush them up into a little bundle that he held tightly In his left hand. Then he began to drink his syrup and Hilary sipped his beer in suence. I ought to start ouestloninv htm he was telling himself, but what ran I nsk him? If he Is my son then we met once at the moment of his birth and have had nothing In common ever since. He might tell me what toys he played with but I have never seen them. If he remembered being kissed on this particular spot, being put to bed with that particular formula. I would still not know If those were the things that happened between Lisa and my son. I don't even know the little net names they would have for each other. But this gave him an Idea. "Jean," he said. "I know your name, but I don t believe vou Know my name. It's Hilary. Have you ever heard it before?" He could detect not flicker of awareness In the boy's face as he answered. "No," and bent to his syrup again. "My favorite girl's name Is Lisa,' said Hilary. jean smiled ana saia, -mats a pretty name." Hilary demanded urgently, "Have you ever heard It before?" Jean shivered, shot a quick glance at Hilary, ana wnisperea, no, monster'" Oh, Ood, said Hilary, now i vc mgntened mm again. He smuea when I said Lisa. Did that mean anything or nothing? It is a pretty name put migntn i ne nave smueo if I'd said Jovce instead? I can't go on questioning him, he said In despair, It's agony lor do in of us and it gets us nowhere. Besides, he thought (but didn't say this even to himself) If I go on questioning him I might find out mat ne was irrevocaoiy not my son. I'll lust go on seeing him. he de cided, talk to him naturally, try to make friends with him. 8urely if I do that. I shall eventually know. "Finisn up, jean," ne saia, "its time we were getting oacg." "Here he is," Hilary said to Sis ter Therese, "safe and sound." "And that's a good thing," said Sister Therese. in her rough grum bling voice. "Monsieur, the front door's always open. No need for you to ring the bell each time you come. If you're coming, Jean will be waiting for you In the hall; if you're going, you can Just leave him here and be off. And now," she turned to the child, "you run straight up to bed." But jean did not let go 01 Hilary s hand, only clutched It tightly, des perately. "My present, monsieur. You said you'd ask her." "Of course," said Hilary. "Ma soeur, I have Just given the boy a pair of gloves. Unfortunately these are too small for him. But he likes them so much that he asks If he may keep them for himself Just the same." "Let's see them, said the nun. Reluctantly Jean undid his tight fist and delivered the gloves Into the big outstretched hand. "They're good material," she said grudgingly. Other children could be warm In them." "Nevertheless," salt! Hilary, "it Is for this child that I have bought them and I must request you to allow him to keep them." , "And where" said the nun, "is he to keep them?" Hilary suggested, "Well, where does he keep his toys and things?" 'Tovs!" the nun laughed. "We haven't any money to spend on toys, monsieur." Before Hilary's eves danced the pitiful pile of possessions spread out accusing on tne dcq. ne saia iirm Iv. "I will keen the gloves for the ttoy myscn. uooaoye, jean, i n oring your gloves when I come tomorrow. He went out filled with an Inner Dan c that he had committed him self to something, he wasn't sure what.
