A Father's Search for a Little Son
He Has Never Seen
FRIDAY P.M.
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.

Board Decides
Grades Location
Woodburn At a recent meet
ing of the Woodburn public
school board it was decided to
make the Lincoln school build
ing on the west side a primary
school for the first two grades,
beginning next fall, and to house
the upper six grades at old
high school building.
The action vas taken by the
board to place the first and sec
ond grade pupils from all parts
of the district in the Lincoln
building In line with the returns
from a ques-lionnuirc sent to
parents of grade school chil
dren. The returns favored the
primary plan 170 to 51 over
dividing students between the
Lincoln and the old high school
building on the basis of resid
ence cither west or east of the
railroad tracks.
If the enrollment of the first
and second graders at the be
ginning of school in the full is
not sufficient to fill the Lincoln
building it is possible that one
section of third graders from
the area west of the railroad
track may be located at Lin
coln. The board also plans to
run a bus from the old high
school building morning and
afternoon to transport primary
children Irom the east side area
No bus will be run at noon.
Students frnm fh tl.lrJ
through the eighth grades from
all parts of the district will go
to the old high school,
