 feller was ordered tn China. on duty and oo.l with him his wife and their little son. While at Hong Kong tn. Chinese nurse appeared with the baoy. The newspaper %arn reprodIres eitain documents purpoi ting to shcw that the boy was piaced in a Catholic institution at Hong Kong and was fla ally adoi>ied by wealthy gentleman named Henry Stanhope who gave his W1.1 the name of Paul Sl.anho3e. It s,s, appeared from the documents that Paul St&nhupe had left China and had thrown his fortunes with the FiiIinos.
 Before all this came out. however. the younS man had been killed in the Phil ippiass. in one of ihc engagements. by Major Rock.fell5r The whole story was very cleveriy told. It is the bald
