The meeting was pathetic and joyful and there was much to be related by each. Mr. AVilson told the Bi i.i.ktix man something of his experience as far back as he could remember. He says that the man Henderson kept him for some years, during which time his treatment was cruel in the extreme, and finally he threw him out in the snow to die, which he probably would have done had not a man named Alger found bin, and taken him home in a semi-frozen state. Mr.

Alger adopted him and he (AVilson) made his home with the family until he was 10 when heapprenticed himself to a painter and learned the trade. During all this time AVilson supposed his parents were dead, as this had always been told him by Henderson and Alger, but a few days ago he learned that his mother was alive and lived in Fontana and he at once came to this place as above stated.
