net position was influenced by political ambi-
toni for 1892 They say that Gen. Harrison
knew Mr.. Allison's reasons for not accepting
before he saw him, and that at his visit to
indianapolis these reasons were again given.
They were that Senator Allison was worn
out by his labors on the tariff bill, and shat
his health would not permit him to assume
the arduous duties of an executive Office;
that, being widower and of limited means,
he could not properly fill the social require

he preferred to remain in the Senate. Gen.
Harrison requested Mr.. Allison to reconsid-

last satisfied with Mr.. Allison's explanations
which were wholly unselfsh and reasonable.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
a Romance Furnished by the Boston
Home For Little Wanderers.

Boston, Feb. 5.-The Home for Little
Wanderers is one Of the most benefcent insti-
tutions In the city. saving, as 1t does, annu-
ally, scores Of little wanderers to lives Of
happiness, respectability and usefulness.
Once in a while 1t produces romance, and
one such was told yesterday.
A few months ago fine young man OF
Boston. 2l years Of age, well bred. and gen.
tlemanly in his bearing, received through
the mails letter in refined feminine hand.
He had DO lady correspondents and at first
he wondered who could have written TO him.
Wonder gave place to amazement when he
read the contents Of the letter. 1t was from
asked him to call ana see her. She had re.
Gently learned, she said, that those she had
always supposed to be her parents were in
no way related to her, and that he was her
own and only brother.
He called upon the writer OF the letter and
found charming young lady,. pretty, well
educated and intelligent and a few moments
of conversation convinced both that they
were, indeed, brother and sister.
The story OF their lives Is briefly told as fol-
lows: When the boy was less than three
years Of age and the girl an infant, the pa
rents were for some reason separated The
children drlfted into the care Of the Home
for Little Wanderers, where they were ten
derly cared for Tor while. Inc baby girl
was at length adopted by family in South
Boston, and the boy was taken by farmer
In the far-down regions Of Maine, who un-
dertook his rearing and training.
Little by little he won his way and at last
obtained situation as stenographer In
well known business house Of Boston,
where he Is making himself useful and Is
earning an excellent living.
The girl in the meantime grew TO young
womanhood in ignorance Of the fact that she
was not the true daughter Of the house.
About a year ago, however, she had trifling
dispute with her supposed mother. who i'm
pulsiyely, In pet declared that the girl was
not her daughter Surprised and shocked at
the revelation, she went at once to her Sun
day school teacher and poured into her ears
the tale. The teacher heard It all and then
said:
what would you say II told you that l
sat in church with your brother last Sun
day?"
Here was the shock of a second revelation,
for 1t was true. An aunt Of the two children
had, through all these years, kept her eye
upon the two, knew where they were and
what they were doing. 1t had been her inten-
tion. some day, to tell them of their child
hood and bring brother and sister together.
With this end In view she had made the ac-
quaintance Of the Sunday school teacher, and
had told her the story of the two, but with
injunctions of strict secrecy. She had manag-
ed also to throw the young man into the s0ci-
ETY. of the same excellent woman and mat
ters were quite ripe for the revelation when
1t came prematurely and In Dianner least
expected.
