FINDS LOST SON IN BOY
SERVANT OF WIFE
Man Makes Confession and Little Eel
low 10 Warmly Welcomed az
Scion OF the Home.

PARIS. Jan. 1i.-when the mistress
OF a wealthy house In the quarter OF
the Champs Elysees hired a servant
boy the other day she was far from
thinking that she was taking lost son
of her husband into her service. The
lad, who bad been recommended oy
an employment agency, locked healthy
and chubby with his red cheeks, aud
was fresh from the country.
You will suit" said the mistress OF
the house, and ordered a nice livery
for him at once. with metal buttons
and braid. The boy had been warmly
by mis- foster parents In
the country, who had brought him up
and who were very anxious that he
should be well treated. He was such
good boy. they wrote In letter. aud
they would always consider him as
their own child.
The mistress of the house told her
husband about the boy In the evening
and how pleased she was with him.
but when she mentioned his name her
husband was absorbed In thought.
When still very young he had had q
love affair with a pretty midinettc.
whom he mad even hoped to marry. but
his parents objected. A boy was born
and for seven years he paid for his
maintenance in the country. The
mother then died and he lost trace of
the boy, and when time went by and
he got married he forgot him ALTO
gether.
The new servant boys name, how
ever. brought back old memories Il
him. He quietly stole to the kitchen
and questioned the boy: What was
your fathers name?"
Il never knew him." answered the
hoy. The name bear is my
mothers
Who brought you up?"
| Good people in the country" he
said. who are my foster parents"
There was no doubt left. The boz
had been reared by the very peopls
| TO whom the father had regularly
paid the monthly sum for seven years
and his mothers name revealed the
rest.
IF told you that you were my son
you would not believe mel" he said g
the astonished lad. as he took him
into his arms aud kissed him.
There was q short conversation De'
tween husband and wife. and few
minutes later the boy was summoned
10 the parlor. where the mistress OF
the house also received him with open
arms. and told aim that hereafter hs
would also be her son.
The order for a servants livery was
at once cancelled and instead a college
boys uniform was given. which the
boy is now wearing and instead OF run
ming on messages. he Is one. OF the
Lupils at a lyces. His newly-adopted
mother is almost happier than the
father, as she had no children OF her
own.
