her chair so that her back was toward him. "Did you want to see me?" asked the man as he entered the room. The wife turned her face toward him, "My God, Belinda, you here!" he cried out. He fell on his knees and prayed hep forgiveness. Then came the story of his disappearance, and of the trials and tribulations that he had suffered since then.

"This is the latest of them," he said, as he showed her a bandaged hand. He had been injured while at work. Then showing her the envelope containing the $185 he told her of his hopes and of how they had been blighted so often that he had recently decided on making one more attempt to get the hoped for amount together. He was told that his mother in law would like to see him before he died. "I can't go home now, Belinda.

I must wait a while and think out my problem," he answered. Later he promised that he would return to Scranton in May. When he was told by his wife that she had struggled along to success in the battle to save their home after he had disappeared, leaving her with a debt of $1,800 to shoulder, McAndrew broke down and wept. "I thought you had lost the home; I thought you were living with your sisiter in law," he said. He was told that the sister in law had died the week following his disappearance.

WHY HE DISAPPEARED. For years Mr. McAndrew' had been making a success of the business of general contracting. Then came reverses in a heap. He lost $1,800 one job and was fighting to get over that loss when another was swept onto his shoulders.

Ashamed of his failure he refused to take any friends v. ho could have helped him financially to his feet into his confidence. After dinner on April 9, ten years ago, McAndrew arose from the table and told his wife that he was going over to the city to see an attorney in an effort to collect a couple thousand dollars that was due him. He had $158 in his pocket. He was passing the D.

H. station when he heard the stationmas ter cry out, "This train for Wilkes Barre!" He hurried in and got aboard. He spent that night in Wilkes Barre. The next day he went to Baltimore. About a week after his disappearance he encountered former Chief of Police Byron Wade, of this city, now deceased.

He pretended that he didn't recognize him, but when the former chief left the hotel the clerk told McAndrew that he had recognized him. FELL FROM A TRESTLE. At Baltimore he fell from a trestle and suffered a fractured collarbone, which kept him confined in a hospital for seven weeks and wiped out the money that he had been planning to send home. Later he went to Harris burg and there he fell on an icy sidewalk and suffered several fractured ribs. His next city to work was Wil mington, and there he suffered TI.

Since his disappearance the wife has been conducting a house at her home and also working in other ways to pay off the debt on the home. McAndrew told her during their reunion that he couldn't understand why he didn't send money along as he earned it.

Rev. George T. Schmidt, moderator of the men's branch of the Blessed iVirgin sodality of St. Mary's parish, enlightened the members of that cr ganization on "Socialism" yesterday afternoon at their monthly meeting, when he took for his topic "Socialism." The clergyman said socialistic jideas will lead to free religion, mean ling that once the Socialists came into power that there would only be one religion, which would be no religion. People would not have the right to profess the religion in which they be ilieye.

The Socialists say that their government has not the slightest inclination to disturb the religious peace. However, the leaders in the Iso called socialistic movement in Gei Imany are all "atheists," the clergy iman added. Continuing, he said: "The Socialists are of the opinion that all men should be equal, the more talented to ibe given the same compensation for hfir work as those who are not pos jecaacd of this faculty. It the Socialists gained control of the destinies of the country, there would be no more capitalists, as the socialistic element has the impression that railroads and ell industries should be owned by the 'people Instead of having them controlled by a company, as they now 'are." In concluding, he added that itbo Socialist question would be one of vital interest in this country before the next quarter of a century passes, although they would never be to abolish the Catholic church in all the yearn to come." Rev. George Schmidt will give another talk on this subject to the men some time in the near future.

Not the slightest clue as to the whereabouts of her husband or of what had happened to him when he left his home on West Lackawanna avenue ten years ago to see an attorney in the central city, had come to Mrs. McAndrew until a couple of weeks ago.

Recently she made application to the United States authorities at Washington, D. for a widow's pension, her husband having served in the Union army during the Civil war. In the application she stated that her husband had disappeared ten years ago and that she believed him to be dead. His war record was also contained in the application. Several days later the wife received a communication from the pension authorities in which it was stated that a man by the same name as her husband and with the same war record was receiving a pension.

It was stated that the statements made by him in his application coincided with those of the wife as to the regiment he was with and the engagements he participated in. The address of the pensioner in Harrisburg was furnished her. Determined to learn the identity of the Harrisburg man, Mrs. (McAndrew went to that city last week.
