parley with an office boy I was admitted to the main office. As I entered the room I saw approaching me Edson Klinkel, not as I had known him in school but still bearing close resemblance to his former self. Seeing that he did not recognize me I told him my name, and while we were enjoying a happy re- union talking over old times, Otis, the other member of the firm entered. The boys then told me that after leaving high school they had studied law and had been very successful in their chosen profession. Edson said if I would go home with him he still had a wonderful surprise in store for me. 1, happy to be with my old friends readily consented to go home with him. At the close of the afternoon we went immediately to Edson’s home where I met his smiling wife no other than Elizabeth Mondhank. While we three were busy talking of days gone by, guests were announced and presently Otis entered with bis surprise, Anna Ball. I learned that the lives of both ladies had been well and usefully spent in caring for their families, and 1 could see by the happy faces of all concerned that their duty had been well performed. As I have now told you of the prosperity of all of my other classmates and seeing you and your husband carrying on such a great work in capacity of physicians, I would like to ask your advice concerning whether or not I shall return to my wife and resume my former life or just continue in the way that I have been going until my days shall be ended.” I advised him to by all means follow the former course and in a few days I learned by a letter from him that he had followed my advice and was again a happy contented man.
