French orphan boy. longed to be

Through a series Of misfortunes he Is
now In Jail here pending the arrival
OF a steamship at New York which
shall carry him back to France. His
deportation has been ordered by the
government. Although he has had
many adventures during the last few
years, Jules Is still a boy. He de-
clares that his determination to make
this country his home has not been
changed and that he will come over
again as stOwaway the first chance
he gets.
The recorded history of the boy be-
