somehow, no one ever visits him.
Did you come to see me?" Douglas
asks everybody he sees calling on his

For Douglas is one of the few of the
43 boys and girls at the institution
who never has any one drop In to
bring him oranges, toys, or any of the
knicE-knacks that help to make little
boys happy.
Douglas is the only child for adop-

All the other children have some re-
manning tie to father or mother or
guardian, whom temporary necessity
has driven to placing them in the in
stitution. But Douglas hasn't any one.
Miss Thomas, of course, has his
genealogical record, and it will be
made known to the persons who adopt
him. But they, too. must qualify. be-
cause a child from the home is placed
for adoption only after the most care
