he would start along toward home on
foot, not waiting for his father to
finish his business here. As he had
often started out on foot before, his
father allowed him to go, thinking that
he would overtake him with the team.
He did not, however, nor did the boy

Mr.. Hamilton is being aided today
by officers in his search for the boy.
