Then the two went to Chicago "for a short visit before the opening of college. In late September, Robert entered as Freshman in the agricultural college of the university in which his brother was already a Junior. Robert won honors from the start, and evn Aunt Sophia was proud of him.

On the day he left home with the money, he . had decided that instead of taking the |street car, and Walking two miles in lthe sun, he would walk four miles }through the wood. He had covered ltwo-thirds of the distance when the 'l storm came up. A lightning bolt strik- ing a tall tree near him, threw him to the ground, stunning him. When he had come to himself, he was pinned fast by a huge limb, and his leg was broken. To free himself had taken him some time; to draghis lifeless limb over the mile that lay between him and the VVatson'- home was a still more painful task. At ten o'clock the night of his injury he had crawled to the steps of the` farmhouse and called . loudly enough to attract attention be- fore he `had fainted.

The stranger had been brought up by a well-to-do Chicago family, and not until a. year ago had he learned that he was an adopted child. When he had" heard that he wasone of twins, he begged for permission to search for his brother. His adopted parents had been most reluctant to agreeto this, but at [ length yielded to his importunities. From the records of the orphanage to which his parents sent him, the ,searcher found that his brother had been adopted by a family named Peck, living in Warren Junction. He had gone there hopefully, `only to find that nine years before Mr. and~Mrs. Peck had perished in a fire. He had visited the cemetery, and stood beside their graves, looking down with strange tu- mult of feelings on :1 smaller grave l marked, Harry, Aged Five Years.
