That Way Aoaln,

He was being brought up By IN
aunt and an uncle, who cared for him
more tenderly than some mothers and
fathers care for their own children.
Nevertheless, when he was eleven
years old he decided to run away from
home. To this act Of mad adventure
he had been inspired by the delirious
fancies Of authors who grind out for
the education Of our American youth
what are popular called stories Of &C;

packed q suit case, whereby he
showed himself more thoughtful than
many heroes. and furtively made his
way to liberty. Az soon AZ his alb.
sence was discovered by his astound.
ed aunt she put in motion every avail.
able human machine for his recovery
and sent up her prayers to heaven, for
aid beyond her own, for this child
was the son Of an. adored sister and
was az dear as her own flesh. Her
efforts were soon rewarded. The
youthful adventurer was traced, recov.
cred and returned to his distressed
aunt. whose relief at finding him
sound and whole was beyond words. /
However, some Of the relatives were
not satisfied that the aunt's loving
welcome was salutary for the boy. He
would not. they argued, be duly i'm.

that the only really beneficial way to
meet the situation was to give him

her brown eyes showing rather warm
sparks. I'VE have spent a lot Of

And though the relatives growled, no

still lives in his happy home and ID
