ever, and this part of his wanderings
may always remain sealed book,
Aside from these first few days, young
Rev tells the story of his adventures in
detail with great minuteaess, His eduea
ton enabled him to find friends among
q class of people who threw in his way
opportunity for profitable employment
and from and through whom he sue
ceeded admirably in Tearing the langu-
ages, French and German, his lack Of
proficiency in which had so worried
him at college and had indirectly
caused him to go away. He has worked
hard since he went away and has made
money He has seen the world and has
returned more of a man at % than
most men are at 80. From being
a rather sickly boy, whose fondness for
outdoor exercise was caused in a great
degree by his anxiety for health, he has
developed into sturdy, healthy speci-
men of physical manhood. His features,
however, have lost little of their boyish
expression, although he has gained
probably fifty pounds in weight and is
bronzed and tanned several shades
darker than his naturally dark COM
plexion.
During all of his wanderings, young
Rev never changed his name nor en-
deavored to conceal his identity in the
least, and it is to this fact alone that
his discovery is due, for the only clew
that the detectives who had followed
him about the world were able to gain
of his whereabout was the fact that a
young man giving his name had skip
ped on board a French vessel at Bor-
deaux, bound for Ceylon. Their agents
at Ceylon met the vessel and identified
the young electrician as the man they
were looking for.
Young Rows contract with the own
ers of the vessel bound him to remain
with the steamer until she returned to
Southampton, but he wrote from Cey-
Ion to his parents that as soon as he
reached Southampton he would leave
the steamer and take the first trans
atlantic steamer for New York How
we'll he kept his promise may be juged
from the fact that between the arrival
of the French vessel at Southampton
and his leaving that port on the Ameri-
can liner New York only two hours in
time interviewed. He did not even wait
to cable to his parents, but came at the
earliest possible moment. At New York
even les time was lost, for after reach
ing there on Tuesday he spent less Their
an hour in the city, taking the frs
West Shore train for Buffalo. He wrote
postal card in New York, advising his
parents that he was coming, but the
card did not reach them until after he
had been at home for several hours.
The joy of Mr.. and Mrs. Rev at the
return of their son can be better imag
ined than described. They had mournet
him as dead for year.
Young Rev will return to Cornell or
Wednesday. The decision as to whethel
he should go back or not was left al
