 he wants to cry; the man who laughs when fate is unkind and his plans go wrong; the man who laughs in sunshine and rain, in the spring and in the winter of life-what an admirable character he is. But how about the man who laughs

FIRST CLUE TO THE
LOST BRALEY BABY
Seen in Three Different Places in Team
With Strange Man Sheriff
Now On Trail

Danbiry, N. H., May IL What ap.
pears to be the only tangible clue sur-
rounding the disappearance Of little Ell
wyn Braley from his fathers farm On
Wilds Meadow two weeks ago has just
come to light, and Deputy Sheriff Claude
n. Murray has taken up the case with
more enthusiasm than has been dis
played heretofore.
A man and boy, whose description
answers in every detail to that OF the
missing Braley child, were seen at three
different places driving from tine direc.
tion Of Danbury on the day Of the dis
appearance. The time was well noted
in each instance and aceords entirely
with the length of time required TO
travel the distance covered.
The outfit, consisting Of sorTel horse
and piano-box buggy, in which the
man and boy were riding, was first seen
at Canaan by Mrs. William Welch. who
lives on the road to Lebanon and whose
reliability is beyond question. The man
and boy appeared to be on the best Of
terms and the child was apparently con-
tented and happy.
In about the time il ordinarily takes
to travel from the Weleh farm to Leba-
non the same team and people we're seen
| by several residents Of Lebanon driving
through the village from the direction
of Canaan. No particular attention was
paid to them, as they seemed TO be on
as familiar terms as a father and son
might be- The description given by
