ave Fostered in an orphan asylum until
the year he rebelled and ran away to
carve out his own future. it was not
strange that Harcourt, who had never
known any other home save bleak
boarding houses, should have an in
sistent yearning for home OF his
own, for loving home faces.
His letters were all business letters.
There was not even a3gay Christmas
card as evidence that some one had re-
nembered him.
He stood aside and wistfully watch
"a the other men-some of them his
0wn c0wpunchers- return from the
grated window, with smiling lips and
eyes, tenderly expectant . Of what
might be concealed in, the Christmas
packages that came to each.
Nick Bolton must have surprised the

AFTER 81 YEARS

DEAD YEARS AGO

Williston, N, d. March Am Incl
dent which occurs in the life of but
few men happened in WilIiston when
TWO brothers, who had not for sixty
one Years, anne face to face and
greeted each other.
The principals in the a are Will
nam K. Baker Of California and A. p.
Baker Of North Dakota, aged SO and
70 years respectively. The meeting
OF n brothers., each of whom thought
the other dead, was brought about by
3. d. Scott of this city, a son-in-law
of A +. Baker, who has just returned
from a trip to California and was &C.
companled home by William r, Baker.
some weeks ago MIR. Scott left for
a visit to California, Before going
his father-in-law A, P, Baker, in
tormed him that he had at one time a
Drother living at a certain town in
that state, but that he presumed he
had been dead many years as they
never heard from him. The son-fn-
law visited the town where the elder
Baker was supposed to have lived,
n there found the older ofcthe two
brothers hale and hearty at the age
or 80 years. He vas informed that
his younger brother, now rs, was still
living in this state and was persuaded
to come to Williston, where the meet
ing was arranged by relatives. A, r.
Baker came here from Hone, ND.
StXty-one years ago wflIiam Baker
left Avon, Wis, for California via the
trail route across the great plains of
the southwest There, were several
others in the party and the trip was
made by wagon and OK teams. 1t re-
quired more than six months to reach
the destination after many hardships.
METHODS OF communication were for
many years very slow and he had soon
lost track of his relaGkes and thew
likewaA of him. He never returned
and until a few days ago supposed
that the younger brother, whom he
met~here today, had long since passed
away.

a few friends as casually and uncon-
cerned as though he had been absent
upon a fortnight's vacation trip. The
only explanation he Vouchsafed anyone
was that he had gone west rather I'M
expectediy and had fEbeen employed
upon d ranch since, somewhere in the
neighborhood Of Miles City.
ThieI, it will be remembered, came
to this city about Dec. Is n spent a
couple Of days attending to business
matters. In the evening OF Tuesday,
! Dec. II, he boarded the Mott train for
Bismarck to search for a fellow who he
believed had stolen q pair OF silver
spurs belonging to him. From That
time until last Friday no relative or
friend heard one word of the where
abouts of the young man, being left
! only to conjecture as to Inc rate that
must have befallen him.
Rumors at different times gained
| circulation, to the effect that he was
in Canada, Chicago, Montana, or some
other place. but no n knew and 1t
was finally decided that the $1,000 he
had upon his perosn at the time or mis-
disappearance must have been the mo-
tive for foul play on the part OF some
criminal.
But now it seems that the affair was
not much out Of the ordinary. Thiel
fell in with a rough company and was
in some way induced to go west with
them. He stopped at Miles City and
obtained work on a ranch, where he
remained until his conscience bothered
him about the way he had treated those
near and dear, and he boarded the train
for home. He brought back most OF
the $1,000.
No further particulars car be elicit
cd from him. but his friends are none
the less glad to welcome the lost one
home. He went from here to his home
