'FAITHFULlNESS REWARDED
After Separation Of Twenty Years
husband and Wife Are Re-
united.

New YORK, Oct. 1S.-Edward Sheffield
of Melbourne, Australia. and Ellen, bis
wife, of Helena, Mont, met in the law
office of Richard V. Boyd last night for
the first time in twenty years. Each
had believed the other dead, but each
had remained faithful. Nearly quarter
of century ago in Southampton, Eng
land, Sheffield, the captain OF a ship,
met and loved pretty Ellen Marshall
William Porter, young merchant, also
loved her, but tie bluff sailor won the
girl. Edward and Ellen had been mar
ried two years, when Edwards ship was
chartered for Brazil. On the voyage it
was wrecked. The sailors took to a
small boat and we're lost. The captain
clung to the wave washed hulk till a
passing schooner took him aboard. He
was landed friendless and penniless on
the South American coast and turned
his hand to any sort OF work he could
find in the wretched South American
towns, where fate had cast him. After
years of hardship he scraped enough to-
gether to take him home, only to find that
his wife was gone. Edward inquired
of his old-time rival, and Porter told him
maliciously that Mrs. Sheffield had gone
off to America with another man. The
young man left at once for Australia
bought small ranch near Melbourne
and took to sheep raising Success was
slow but sure. He became moderately
rich but he never married, though he
had heard his wife was dead. While go
ing through his old sea chest somt
months ago, Sheffield found memoran
dunn of deeds to 500 acres of land il
Montana, which he bought for song q
years ago. He wrote TO Oliver Pritchard
London lawyer to look the matter ul
and see if the land was worth anything
Pritchard wrote Lawyer Boyd of thi
city and he communicated with lawye
in Helena, which was near the lands il
question. The reply was that Mre. Shef
field had shown deeds for the land ant
sold most of it at high price, as silve
had been found in several places. Mrf
Sheffield was widow, the Helena law
