LIKE JEAN VALJEAN

A little more than q year ago ne
met and fell in love with the daugh'
ter of a Des Moines business man.
The two were married and started
housekeeping. Sheldon was 80 happy
that he wrote to his mother In Den
yer to tell her about his wife and the
baby had just come. He told her the
new name he had taken when he ran
away from the reform school
The mother told some Of her friends.
Sheldon's younger brother. now IN the
school, heard where his brother was.
and through some of these sources
Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford OF
the industrial school board heard
where his runaway had gone.
1t was not long thereafter that Chief
of Detectives Johnson Of Des Moines
arrested Sheldon and took him to jail.
Sheldon told the story to the detective
and begged to be released. Dispatch
es that carried the story did not state
whether the detective had ever heard
of Jean Vatican and the good bishop.
but il 10 In the role Of tho bishop that
Detective johnson figures from now
on.
He promised the boy that although
he couldn't let him 60 he would take
an aRneal direct to the governor Of
Colorado and ask him to grant par
don to the runaway boy who had made
good.
Governor Shaforth said that he
would act in the case as soon az It
was oficsally called to his attention
ana would take whatever action the
facts might warrant.
Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford
of the school declared that the boy
must be returned to the school 'foE
the sake Of discipline"
"The fact that Sheldon is married
and apparently doing all right now
cart be taken as any excuse" the su'
perintendent said, THE only way we
