william and Henry Manning, aged res
pectlyely twelve and five years. who

by Trainmaster Harry P. Brooks, who
has found q pleasant home for each. The
boys are brothers.

CT q dead mother, followed by harsh
treatment. The boys mourned the death
OF their best friend, deprecated their
Chen condition, and determined to seek
change for the better or worse. They
walked twelve miles to railroad sta
