A pathetic story, with happy sequel,
comes from across the water to people living
in Dedham, Mass. Mrs Sarah Smith is sixty
years old, and has lived with her son by her
first husband, Arthur Jollif in Dedham.
One day last September. she suddenly re-
marked to her daughter-in-law:
"Why, there is George meaning her
younger SOM, and must go to him. He is
calling me. must go. Poor George shall
not desert you"
"Why, mother, George is not out there"
said her daughter-n-law, as she stepped to
the window and looked out.
81 know BETTER" replied Mrs Smith; che
was calling to me to come to him."
Mrs, Jollif said no more, but proceeded
with her household duties. While thus en-
gagged, unobserved by her, Mrs. Smith went
out of the house, undoubtedly in search Of
her son, whom she supposed was waiting for
her, and continued on up the street, imagn-
ing that she would overtake him. She made
her way to Boston, where she was found,
sick and exhausted, in the street and cared
for at the hospital. With her mind still
couded she claimed to have wandered from
England, and begged to be sent back to that
country. The British consul provided for
her passage, and she embarked on one OF the
ocean steamers for Liverpool.
A few days before Mrs. Smith took pas
sage for Liverpool her son George had hired
on board cattle steamer, which was plow-
ing the sea in advance of the steamer in
which his mother sailed. George Joliff got
into port in early morning, and with many
others stood upon the wharf to see the Bos-
ton passengers land. His eyes became fixed
upon the frail figure of an elderly woman
making her way along to the wharf. The
form looked familiar to his eyes, and they
were not deceived, for when she had come
within embracing distance he had her in his
strong arms, shouting: Mother motherV
Recognition on the part of the mother was
immediate, and in the reunion her reason re-
turned unclouded. The mother and son
went to the house of relatives in London,
where they are now staying.
A few months ago young man of Bos-
ton, twenty-one years of age, well bred and
gentlemanly In his bearing received through
the mails letter. 1T was from young

both that they were indeed brother and sis

as follows:
When the boy was less than three years OF
age and the girl an infant, the parents for
some reason were separated. The children
drifted into the care Of the Home for Little
Wanderers, where they were tenderly cared
for for while. The baby girl at length
was adopted by family In South Boston,
and the boy was taken by farmer In the
far-down regions of Maine, who undertook
his rearing and training. Thus the children
were separated, and they grew up In total
ignorance of each others existence. AS the
