A MOTHERS PRAYER Answered
Twenly-six years ago, at this season,
George A. Avon left the home of his
father, Nicholas Avon, near Woodber-
ry. Conn, to visit friends in Biddeford;
Me. He was not heard from until
Wednesday, when he walked into his
old home. His mother and sister knew
him at once. George says he was
seized at night by four men while
walking on the streets of st. John, n.
B., and carried on board cattle ship
bound for Liverpool. On the way over
ne and others of the passengers and
crew were arrested for some crime, OF
which he knew nothing, and on reach
ing port were tried and convicted. He
was innocent of the charge brought
against him, but he had to serve SEN
tence, which expired only six months
ago. He then earned the money nee
essary TO pay his passage to this coun-
try and came home. Georges mother
raved over his disappearance and be-
came deeply interested in religion. 1t
is said she prayed two hours every day
that her son might be restored to her.

THE BOY RETURNED.

Fifteen months ago Joe Boughen,
son of w. B. Boughen, wealthy retir-
ed manufa cturer, left Cincinnati, O.,
fer the Worlds Fair, and utterly disap-
peared. His father, and Gen. Hicken-
looper, of the gas company, where the
youth was employed, spent much time
and money in endeavoring to locate
the lad, but in vain.
Several weeks passed and letter
came to the elder Boughen stating that
the missing boy was held captive by
outlaws in the neighborhood of Chica-
20, and demanding $4,000 ransom.
The writer asserted that if the money
was not paid, the prisoner would lie
murdered. Boughen, almost crazed
with fear. met the writer. who proved
10 be Walter Hellener. The latter
stated that if the ransom was not forth
coming, the outlaws would send first
the ears, and then the head of the cap
tive to his father. Boughen informed
the police, and, making another en-
gagement with Hellener, the latter was
captured shortly afterward.
Hellener was shown to be desperate
from poverty, and at Boughen's request
was leniently dealt with, but the uncer-
tanty concerning the boy was as great
as ever. After Christmas Eve supper
and merry making Monday night, the
Boughen family was preparing to retire,
when Joe's rame was mentioned. "If
he were here now,n said his little sister,
"what merry Christmas it would be"
A knock sounded on the door.
"Come in" invited Mr.. Boughen
The door opened, and, as if in response
TO the wish, in walked the missing
young man. The joy and surprise OF
the family We're without bounds. Prob
ably, no one in all this broad land re-
ceived more joyous welcome at the
family reunion Christmas than the miss
ing son.
After he had been almost smothered
with caress, he told how the past year
had been spent He was seized with
boyish impulse to travel, and, fearing
his father would object, left without
saying a word to any one. He went
directly to Jacksonville, Fla, where he
remained until all of his ready money
was gone. Then he went to Thomas
vile, Ga, where he secured employ
ment rs clerk, and remained up to
few weeks ago. Then he began work
ing his way home to partake of the
Christmas cheer.
