lies OF children. The runaway wife was found
stranded in Kingston three weeks later. and
she returned home with her husband. Her

eloped from Montgomery again In June. and
Constable Tompkins brought the woman back
from Duchess county. When Matthew re-
turned home again he was arrested for steal
ing watch from his brother. hut was acquit-
ted. and the wife and husband who had been
twice wronged became reconciled to their err
ing partners
K few weeks ago John and his wife and
Matthew moved to- Walden. where the men got
employment In q factory. Matthew boarded
children In Montgomery Temporarily. as said.
Last Friday the tive clippers again went away
together. taking with them one child Of the
