child go out in the cold night air.
was back Yesterday with a larger
bas ket and his sister to help him car
ry it, Mrs. Hill. the police matron,
| i'm whose care the founding child has
been left until Supervisor Wulf has
decided where to place it. told Ray
mond that If his mother would come
with him he could take the child.
The little fellow was happy at this,
land seemed to think his mother
would agree TO the plan. He and his
sister went home. The boy did not
return. and the supposition Is that
his mother would not agree to the
plan of adding to the membership OF
the family by the adoption OF the
baby found on the steps of City De
tective Atkinson's house on North
Harrison street last Monday night
There were IL applications for the
privilege of adopting the child yestcr-
day and Supervisor Wulf devoted
most of the day to an investigation
| into the surroundings of each of the
homes to which the doors have been
Iopened TO the tender infant. MI the
homes are said to he excellent ones,
and the decision may prove hard to
make.
