watching for some one, upon inquiry
was told the story, and she then discov-
cred that her child had been taken from
her. Overtake them she could not, as
the next train did not leave for twenty
four hours, and, after telegraphing and
writing her husband and receiving no
reply, she sold her furniture and with
the proceeds returned to her girihOod
home, heartbroken and alone. There
she remained while, and having some
friends in Northern Wisconsin paid them
a visit, and remaining there one year
sought and procured "a legal separation
from her husband the decree giving her
the custody of the child.
Armed with this, she put detectives on
the husbands track, and, finding that
he was still in the employ of the United
States as mail-agent on the Central Pa
cific Railroad, came to Oakland and put
ting up at one of the hotels there APP
piled TO the courts for writ of bdbedS
corpus for the child, which was supposed
to be boarding with lady acquaintance
of the husband. The writ was served
on the lady at once, but she made an
swer that she did not have the child IN
to another lady, who also made reply
that the man himself had the child with
him. Lawyers were employed, and an
Under Sheriff was provided with another
writ to be served on her husband, but he
failed to put in an appearance at his
place of abode, and this week has been
| spent in a vain endeavor to find him.
The lawyers employed by both parties
had several conferences on Tuesday, and
in the office of one of them the long
| parted husband and wife met, she with
cold and severe aspect and he with that
shame-facedness which so became him.
The negotiations for an amicable set
Element were prolonged, and the lawyers
retired for lunch, leaving the estranged
couple together. On the return of the
legal gentlemen their establishment was
great, for there sat the husband holding
his wife's hand in a loving clasp, and
her face beaming with happiness. Next
day she met the Under Sheriff who had
the writ, and calling to him said: "You
need not serve those papers. think
like the climate of California, and Oak
land especially suits me-" Wednesday
the couple were remarked, and let US
hope that the dispensing of the dark

sky of their married life may leave the
matrimonial atmosphere clearer and
purer forever. Surely it is better to
chronicle such reconciliation than
either murder or suicide.-San Fran
