Last May their eldest son, John, a golden ummers, suddenly disap- ad dropped out of sight as effect- wally as though he had been swallowed by the th.

This fact did not cause any anxicty, as his parents supposed that he was playing with some of his associ- ates, but when he did not return in the evening they became alarmed and notified the pol The town was searched and advertise- ments were inserted inall of the leading papers of the country, but they brought no returns, The boyish playthings were laid away and the parents gave theirson up, thinking that he had been murdered, or els that he had been drowned. No trace of the Jad was ever obtained until last Tuesday morning, when_ he called at the High school and announced t he wanted to see his pister. As the young lady opened the door of the school room she found herself stand- ing face to face with the long lost brother. The meeting was one that brought tea to the eyes of the spectators, but it was soon ended, and hand in hand the brother and sister hurried to their home to t the glad news to the mother who still b hopes that sometime her boy would return to comfort her in herdeclining years. It was some time before the good woman could fully realize that her son had returned, but it was true, and again joy reigned supreme in the family sle. The boy was sought out by a Ber man and the story of his travels, which reads like a novel, was given. | Concluded to See the World. “It's like this,” said the lad. “On the morning when I left home I started for school and as I_passed through Jefferson | square T met “New York" Slim, who pro- posed that we takoa trip. T don't know | what made me do so, for I had always been treated well by my parents, but T said that I was ready, and away we started. We went | {down to the depot and boarded a fr traii that was going west. We rode to paraiso and then up to Norfolk. I had cents, but Slim did not have a single sou, “If' you have ever been at Norfolk you Jmow that the town is nogood. We bummed jour ‘chuck’ ther night and then rode a blind baggage to Sioux City. “Don't know what a blind is, do you? “Well, T will tell you. You know there is no door in the front end of the age car on traing? That's o blind. You just get on that end of the o and you can ride as far as you want to or until the train men firo you. ng, we rode the blind right i A ting there on the morning of that terribie ood, and, after looking the town over, we concluded that it wasa good place to leave behind. Then the police were of the same opinion, and as we were not needed we shipped, going to Clinton. That was a long trip to make, but we got there by riding the beams. + 150 you never rode the beams and don’t know what that means? “‘It's eusy enough, but sometimes rather tivésome. You just watch fora train that' going your way and when the train men out of sight you skip under the car and strad- dle a k beam. If you have a good grip and lots of nerve you can ride almost any distance, for the men hardly ever look under the cars for fir s passengers., That was the way it was on that trip, for when the ‘con’ and his men found us we were at Clinton, just the pl; where we wanted to top. 1 tell you we were dirty, that is, Slim nd me.

M Gerbor called on Tue Bee last evening, and said that the truth of his statements could be roadily ascertained by corresponding with the officials in the town from which he came. One or two discrepancies thas orept into the story of the pe previously published may have had some thing to do with the opinion that was formed by Colonel Dearnaud. Ttwas stated that CGier- ber passed through Yakutsk, when it should have been Irkutsk. His route led through the following places after leaving Tlga: Irkutsk, Tomsk, Tomien, Perma, Nijui Nov gorod, Moscow, Smolinsk, Minsk, Vilua, Kovna, and at the latter place he mado his first attempt to get across tho German frontier, but turned back on account | of the cholera quarantine. He went back to Vilna, and made a civeuit before trying it ain, but once more unsuccessful, and made a third attempt that ited in his ting to Vienna, and thence to Bremen, where he took the steamer that brought him to Baltimore.
