A Strange Story.

A letter from Oakland, Nd, in the
" heellng "Register," tells this strange
story:
Thirty-three years ago, a family named
Benton, consisting of father, mother. son
and daughter, resided in one of the West
ern States, near small town called Blank.
The father Was wealthy, and lived in style,
and his daughter, Mabel, a child between
Two and three years of age, was always
elegantly dressed, and George, the son, a
boy OF seven, was preparing to enter an
Eastern school. One day, little Mabel dis
appeared, and l.er parents never heard of
her again, although they spent thousands
Of dollars ill searching for her. The heart
broken mother died soon after the loss of
her darling, and the father wandered over
this country and Europe, and finally settled
III New York, where he died. George grew
to. manhood. and tie memory of his lost
sister was almost effaced from his mind
In his twenty seventh year, while visiting
g married friend, he fell in love with the
governess OF his friends children, a beau
titul girl OF about tWenty-lhree, and after
some months thoy were married, and lived
happily for five OF six years, a boy and
girl being born to them during that time.
BY the death of an uncle in San Fran
cisco George was left considerable for
tune, and the lawyer who conveyed the in
telilgence to him also stat ed that his sis
ter's career had been traced A tramp on
his death-bed in st. Louis police station
confessed that he and two companions had
stolen little Mabel Benton for her clothes
and little locket which she wore, and
that she had continued with them for
several years. when her bright, pretty face
attracted the attention of kind-hearted
lady in Ohio, who adopted her and sent her
to school, where she remained until her pa
troness died. Mabel then became teach
er in large school in CINCINNATI, but as
her health began to fail, she applied for
position as gOverness, and was now in the
family of Mr.. M, or at least that was the
last place he had heard of her being in.
"What was the name of the family she
was WITH" asked George.
"M--," was the answer.
what name did my sister have?"
s'Mabel Ferris.'
my God p cried George in agony. "She
has been my wife for five years p
Upon further investigation this proved
to be the truth, and the girl nearly went
crazy, as she was devout Episcopalian.
4 separation ensued, all property being
equally DIVIDED. The children were placed
it'll friends, as neither parent could bear
the sight of what was TO them the fruit of
Il crime against God and man. The poor
girl is still living in quiet city in New
England, while the h, sband and brother,
after spending all bis property save few
hundred dollars in dissipation, shut him
self off from all communication will, his
friends, and is to-day poor farmer in this
county of Garrett, among strangers, and
where few know his sadly remarkable
story.
