both frightened, faced each other, fired,
and then each fed around the barn,
thinking he had killed his brother. If
either had looked back the prank of
fate would have been turned, for Meth
er was touched.
Walter ran one way, across fields,
and Tom, the other, each bearing the
mark of Cain on mind and soul. For
nine years they suffered all the torment
of guilty conscience. They wandered
over the country. Finally, under as
sumed names, they settled down in New
York and prOspered moderately. A
short time ago Walter, under the name
of Lane, became temporarily insane
from worry and TemorSe over the muir
der he supposed he had committed and
was committed as temporarily insane
to a detention hospital While he was
waiting final hearing to decide as to
his insanity, his brother Tom, in prac-
tically the same condition, was ad-
mitted. Each, while confessing to the
attendants, told real names. They
were brought together, and although
the shock of discovery caused a vio-
lent relapse they were released together

The case of Daniel and Cornelius
Doorley of Philadelphia is scarcely less
dramatic, although it has a humorous
side. 1t appears that as young men
the Doorloys came from Ireland and
started to work i'm New York. One
prOspered and one remained in the Ia
boring class. The prosperity of Dan
lei caused "Con" to shun his own broth
er, although the prosperous one tried
to remain always the same It was
the Irish resentment against receiving
favors that caused their separa ton
Con refused to let his rich brother help
him. He was a happy go-iucky. hard
working, whole-souled fellow. Daniel
made money and finally sold out to a
combine, married, and eventually set
tied in the Germantown district OF
Philadelphia, while Con drifted around.
Daniel owned big quarries in New Jer-
sey. Con had nothing. They dTifted
so far apart that Daniel entirely LOST
sight of Con.
About two years ago Daniel sent to
Ireland and brought over their old
old man, as the end of his days grew
pearer, longed for his boys. More than
all, he wanted to see Con, for, as usual
ly is the case, the wild boy was the
favorite. Daniel hunted everywhere.
He could get no trace of Con, and he
was obliged to confess mis- failure to his
old father. The old man grieved and
moUrned. The doctors said that only
the finding of Con could prolong his
life.
In January Daniel saw the old man
going to pieces. He had taken to his
room and bed and refused to leave
them. and ne muttered constantly about
his ''bye Con-"
Still there was no trace of Con. De-
tectives employed by Daniel failed to
locate him. Every clue ended when
Con left New York after bit CT tTOu-
BILE over an election. In the second
week in January Daniel got into his
auto to run out TO his quarries in Jer-
sey. His road lay up the river, through
Port Richmond, and out The river road,
and he knew he would lose an hour go
ing out of his way through Port Rich
mond to attend to a business matter.
When finally he drove his auto
through the muddy streets and reached
franklin avenue, turning north for a
sprint up the winding beautiful river
speed. The street ahead was well paved
and clear, not a vehicle or a pedestrian
in sight, and, realizing only that he
wanted to reach Trenton as quickly as
possible, he forgot speed limitations
and began to scOTch. Suddenly, direct
ly in the path of his auto and not 100
feet ahead, he saw the head of a man
rise as if out of the solid pavement,
and, like a flash, he realized that some
one was climbing cut of a manhOle.
The shoulders were following the head
when Daniel DoOTlsy screamed a warn
ing, and shut off power, and applied the
breaks. The man started to duck just
as the bonnet of the auto struck his
head. The machine shot on. and Dan
lei Doorley, looking back, half expected
to see that he had beheaded the man.
Fifty yards further along the machine
stopped and Doorley. alighting, ran
back 1t was plain that the man was
not dead, for the manhole was spout
ing profanity and execrations. Some
pedestrians ran to the assistance.
The injured man his head covered
with blood. was lifted out of the man
hole and placed in the auto. He was
suffering from a cut in the back of the
head where the auto had struck him
and a long cash in the forehead where
his head had been driven against the
iron rim of the manhOle. Despite his
injuries he was determined 10 wfip the
driver of the machine. At a fresh out
burst of anger on the part of the in
jured man Daniel DoOrley recognized
him. He was the missing brother, Con.
Daniel tried to explain. Con was
more DESTROYS than ever of whipping
the man who had injured him when he
found it was his rich brother But at
the office of the nearest physician Dan
iel explained to Con, while the cuts
were being patched up, how their old
father was dying at his home from
longing for his boy. Then everything
was forgiven and as soon as Cons head
was patched up the brothers rode to-
gether in the auto to Daniels home
where a grand family reunion was held.
