SISTER DID NOT
 RECOGNIZE HIM

Harvey Taylor who returned last week from visit to Higgins, Texas. had an experience in the Lone Star state which was a real coincidence. MT. Taylor went to Higgins, Texas, to visit a sister whom he had not seen in 5 years. His sister knew nothing of his coming. When the train stopped at a town about a hundred miles from Higgins lady boarded the train and entered the car in which MT. Taylor was travelling and took a seat near him. When MT. Tay- Tor got off the train at Higgins this lady alighted also, and it happened that she went to the same hotel he did. MT. Taylor inquired of the hotel keeper as to where his sister lived, and was informed that the lady who arrived on the same train he did was his sister. She was stopping at the hotel awaiting her husband arrival from the country to take her home.
 MT. Taylor did not reveal his identity to his sister. But when her husband arrived Mir. Taylor in. troduced himself to him. The brother -in-law then called his wife and represented MT. Taylor to her as an old acquaintance whom he had invited to go to the ranch with them for a few days. The three got into the automobile, MT. Fay Tor and his sister sitting in the same seat. The three talked about poll. tics and other subjects as the auto sped along the country highway, the sister not snspecting the iden- tity of her supposed new acquaint- ance.
 Finally MT. Taylor's brother'in- law could stand it no longer and he called out suddenly to his wife. "Alice, don't you know who this is?" The sister turned and looked searchingly into her brother eyes, and then suddenly recognizing the loved one she had not seen in a quarter of century exclaimed "My brother!' She was so over- come with surprise that it was al- most five minutes before she spoke again.
 MT. Taylor spent several weeks getting acquainted with his sister, and telling her true stories of the Eorthland which seemed to her like fairy tales.
 An experience of this kind seems
