UNITED after
MANY YEARS
BROTHERS WHO KNEW NOT OF

Furnishing a Reunion Story That
for Affecting Interest Is Seldom,
If Ever, Surpassed in Real Life.
The Elder Brother Thought the
Younger Brother Dead, and the
Younger Never Knew Positively
He Had Brother-Persisten
Rewarded.

Seldom does real life develop a story
more beautifully pathetic than that
which is entwined about the reuniting
of John and William Coyle, brothers,
now grown to middle age, who up till
last Tuesday were ignorant each of the
others existence.
They were orphaned and separated
in childhood: the elder thought the
younger dead, and the younger did
not know he ever had brother: they
both became railroaders and at one
time their trains were frequently at
the same junction; the younger by
some intuition, or possibly an impress
sion lingering from his cradle days,
was convinced that he had brother
and impelled by this conviction to
make almost constant injuries. he
finally proved his conviction correct
and brought about one of the most
affecting scenes that 1t Is given this
work-a day age to witness.
With a commendable regard for the
appropriateness of things, Fate de-
creed that the main scenes of this
