 MT. Powell also writes you by this mail, and l will write again in q day or two. am very anxious to get hold of your honest hand, and hope the good news l have sent you will put the roses once more into your cheeks.
 Remember me kindly to Mrs. Ken dall Ever your true friend,
 STACEY CocHRANE. I
 
 RURALvILLE, O., Oct 4.
 My DEAR KENDALL-Y can nevex know with what joy I write these words. Heel that am once more restored to life, and know that I can never repay you and Cochrane for your brave fight aganist public opinion and for the per- sistent search that has finally resulted i'll my discovery. Ill all probability after the lapse of years l would have fully recovered my memory, but I am none the less grateful that you, my dear old fellow, pushed the search, and that Coehrane found me and brought me to life ''
 Rest assured it shall be my aim to see that you and Anna are well repaid for the great anxiety and trouble I have caused you. Most of all, regret the imputations that have been cast on your character, but now that I have been "discovered" they will vanish like magic and you will hear those who were foremost in directing suspicion against you loudly declaring that they knew all the time I would eventually be found
 Cochrane has left me one thing to tell you, and only one In my dream at Kreeger's saw the face of girl, sev- eral years younger than I, who attended the village school with me here 25 years ago. I saw her as little schoolgirl, bright, pretty and interesting, and in thinking it over 1 remembered that as a boy 14 or , years old had hoped some time to marry her. It was this memory that changed me from an unpleasant cynic and induced me to make it possi- ble for you and Anna to marry. It brought me to a realization of my self ishness. I had known for some. time that you loved each other, and when ] recalled how shabbily had treated you I was heartily ashamed of myself.
 But it is all right now, John. You are happily married, and well when I came here nearly recovered from my accident I found the same girl, now grown into mature womanhood-ah hand some, intelligent, lovable woman, who has travelled extensively and is possessed of many m4Aishments She spends a certain portion of each year at her old home in this place. think she took pity on my condition, for she has not been indifferent to the little attentions have found time to pay her. I was not very sure of my ground with strange mystery hanging over my life. No one knew, nor did know myself, what had happened during the vanished years. It might be that had a wife and children somewhere, and did not know that l had the right to even think of my old schoolmate as a lover
 Today after dinner l called upon her and told the whole story. 1 know l made botch of one part of it, but she understood me, and that is all that is necessary. We are to be married three weeks from today at her home i'll CAa- cinnati.
 Now, dear John, want you to shut up the office at once and with your wife come here for a visit You will both en- joy this delightful spot and the beauty fuI weather. l cannot be contented tfA you are here with me, and you must certainly stay till after the wedding Cochrane has promised to be my grooms- man. He has little afsNir of the same nature on his own hands. It seems he has been engaged about five years, wait ing all the time till he should be able to support wife. The reward you offered for my discovery, and which he has more than earned, will enable him to venture the marriage. AS we return from Cincinnati we are to accompany Cochrane to his hesne and be present at his wedding
 Now, my dear old fellow, let nothing stand in your way. Just lock the oii1ce and leave affairs to take care of them selves. No doubt you have the business all in such good shape that no interests will suffer by five or six weeks absence. Write us what day you will start, and Cochrane and will meet you i'll Pitts burg. With love to Anna and goodby till see you again, I will close. Yours as ever, CHARLES POWELL"
