planned to return to Jonnstown at
the expiration of his present enlist
ment and take up again the threads
of life among those with whom as a
child he had woven many a fancifui
fabric in the imaginative looms Of
youth.
The letter was given by the mayor
to one of the Johnstown papers, an
which it was published with con-
siderable prominence Shortly there-
after Morris received, as it were, a
message from the past in the form of
a letter from a lady who had been
the choicest playmate of his sister
and himself in the bygone days. The
letter contained much welcome ami
surprising news ,of changes about
the old town, but none SO welcome
or surprising as the paragraph In
which she stated that the residue
from his parents estate, representing
approximately $4,000, was being
held in trust in the Johnstown court
of his sister, Morris is the sole heir
ter, he says, had the slightest aware
ness during the days of their arduous
struggle how nearly within their grasp
was the sorely needed support
Neither of them, in their youthful
minds, had ever questioned that the
flood, which took parents. brothers
ard sisters, had taken everything.
The receipt of the letter has now
determined Morris in his plan to re-
turn to Johnstown at the end of his
enlistment next February. He Will
be present there to establish his claim
in the April session of the Orphans
court Following this, it is his in
tention to enter Boston institute OF
technology for a two year course
which will complete his studies in
electrical and steam engineering,

point through courses with the Inter

When Sergeant Morris enrolls IN
the Boston school next spring he viii
enter upon the first actual schooling
he has ever received. He has never
been to school, a day in his life
The knowledge and skill that he has
ACQUIRED has come through books
and through the hard practical school
of experience. A finishing course IN

bition. but it seemed far-fetched
