As | remember It. about six months
ago. the girls came back from a visit
to the home fairly bubbling over with
Joy at having found the boy. They
picked him out of the two or three other
children and finally drew Mrs. Shepard
and myself over to see him. We fell in
love with him at hrst sight. and in the
last six months he has spent much of
the time at our home.
Il engaged many private detectives
to trace. If possible. his parents. They
tried for months to find out something
Of his past life. and failed. Personally.

To Have Every Advantage.
Shepard said he anticipated no trou-
BILE about possible relatives OF the boy.
He intimated that they were prepared
to fight any attempts to take him
away from them and hinted that It
was a criminal offense for parents to
abandon a child. Young Finley was
left on the steps Of St. Patrick's Cathe-
dral.
The boy will have every advantage

molly COddling. or anything like that
He is. | believe. the most remarkable

liable to two years imprisonment.
J. 8. de Wolf, Company I, First In

Lieutenant Palen g order. He fought

Boatright had been released from the
barracks guardhouse on probation. He
came to Honolulu as a witness in some
case. He was ordered strictly by Lieu
tenant Palen not to drink.
Lieutenant Palen asked him at the
police station last night why he hat
disobeyed the order.
81 didn t touch no liquir, sir; hai
some beer!' the soldier replied.
Yet he had had enough beer to show
its effect, and Lieutenant Palen, see

guard, two of whom are on each train
to arrest him. The guard did. d.
Wolf, a friend, who presumably ha,
been drinking with him, rushed t,

He did not know that he had to snaI
it once and then pull the slide befor,

guard may owe his life.
At this point, Lieutenant Spat
caught the pistol, and was struck

1t required four or Ave policemen
to take de Wolf to the police station
where he was locked up. He Tough
