His name was johnson, and it appear

ran away and hadn't bin heard Of fur
fifteen years. There was heap o talk
about how glad he'd be to see Bill
again, and it put an idea into my head .

Exactly. That evcnin' l put in an

barnyard, and l sat down on hayrack
and broke the joyful news to him that
his long-lost brother Bill finally stood
before him. He got white and red and
tremblcd all over. and finally he got up
and embraced me and seq:
Yes, it's Bill. fur sure! I'd hev
known you if we'd met in Chiny.
