About a month ago a friend of Mrs.
Allies, who had been in California, told
her that he had heard Of a man named
join Allies working in an orange grove
near Whittier, which is twenty-five
miles East of Los Angeles
The name was so unusual that Mrs
Allies was sure this must be the missing
husband. She persuaded her son 10 go
and find out.
When he saw the man in the orange
grove. he did not recognize him as his
father, but the elder man knew Frank
"You've changed a good deal" he said,
extending his hand.
The only excuse ne made for running
away was that he had been disco uraged.
He made no objection 70 going home
with his son.
Mrs. Allies saw them coming and stood
In the doorway TO welcome her husband.
He was ever a peculiar and sullen man,

liking il in others She remembered this.
Come in, JOHN she said, dinner is
ready"
I'm awful hungry" said Allies.
