In 1876} Goodman removed to San Francisco and became senior partner in « great banking firm. One morning, in answer to an advertisement for buok- keepers, a young man_ presented himself in his private office, who, by his striking resemblance to Good- man, led to inquries and inyestiga- tion. To make a long story short, the young man. proved to be the long lost son of Goodman.

Goodman stated he was trom Greenbrier county; explanation followed, the identity of each disclosed, and War- | ren was invited to the home of the younger Goodman, whom his father was residing. That evening after tea the party were drawn around the fireside exchanging reminscences of the past. Finally Goodman related the disappearance and supposed death of his wife, when he was in- terrupted by Warren, who excitediy stated that Mrs. Goodman was still alive and a_ resident of Covington, Ky.
