Two brothers, who had been sepa- rated 37 years and had held no com- munication and had beenignorant of the whereabouts of each other during that time, met at Unionstation Wed- nesday. They were Thomas Gaines of the City of Mexico, and Robert Gaines of Joplin, Mo. The circumstances under which the meeting occurred were remarkable. By a strange coincidence, both arriv ed in St. Louis early Wednesday morning on their way to Virginia te They came by diifer- to visit friends. ent trains, but appeared at a window in the main waiting room and pur chased tickets for the same place.

The recognition was complete, and the happy pair walked arm inarm to a seat in the waiting room where they talked of old times, the old home and the father and buried when they were children, until they mother they were called to their train. The story of their separation is not romantic than their meeting. They were born at Lexington, Va Their parents died when they were children, leaving them some property which they converted into cash ard used in paying their way through Washington and Lee University. which is in Lexington.

Their regiments were in many bat- tles and they were pitted against each other many times. But only once was there a recognition between them. That came during the whirlwind of a charge at Gettysburg. They advanc- ed upon each other with fixed bayo- nets. The dust of battle cleared just as they were about to strike and re- vealed their faces. They saw, recog- nized, spoke, lowered their bayonets and sought other foes. After that eventful day all became dark between them. When Appomat- tox came Robert went to Washington with the victorious northern army. His regiment was disbanded in a few! months, and he went to New York, where he lived several years. Thomas Both Were, prospered for many years after the war. Then he failed while trying to do too much. Last year he went to Joplin in the hope of locating valua- ble mineral land. He did not succeed and decided to go back to the old home in Virginia to seek aid among boyhood friends. At the same time Thomas arranged to return to Lex- ington for a visit, making the meet- ing in St. Louis possible.
