PIGKS: UP THREADS ARCHIBALD MCLEAN AMONG HIS © RELATIVES. : Hurt. in Hallway Wreck--Sister Saw Name on Sign in Western Village and Found Long-Lost Brother-- Has Sister in Kingston, Toronto, Jan. 14.--The Star says: There is a man in the dty, to-day, whose. memory is just emerging from beneatlt a cloud which has obscured it for 'twenty-one years. As return consciousness alidws his mental hen: ties to pick up the séattered threads of the past, the fingers of his brain are weaving strands. to bridge the gap belwoen the long ago and the present. "A part of his mind has been dormant, it is slowly waking to a new lease of life, This man is Archibald Mclean, who left the town of Perth, Ont, to upek his fortune in the west thirty years Bago. Ime 1888 his mother wrote to him at * result of a lingering illness the aged woman has been in a semi-conscious condition for nearly three years. son was taken out to his mother's bedside, snd ih 4 moment recogmized her, But this time the mother's mem- tory failed and she looked at him as {though be were a stranger. Alter i a | number of visits, however, on a day Lord {whet she was especially bright shy {suddenly knéw Lim and called him by name, : ' Since, his drrival among his tives memory is slowly returning to! Archibald Mclean and every day he wakens to another piece of a new world, But a great part of the pas is still a hazq and toe dogtors wast to keep it so, at least, for thegresent. | They have forbidden him to visit his! old home in Perth lest the rush of re | turning recollections prove too much! for his'health. To-day he is leaving! the home of his niece, Mrs. H. L.| Shepherd, 75 Bismarck avente, Toron- to, and is going to Kingston, to visit his sister, Mrs. Publow, The long silence if Mr. McLean's! life was lightened by the usual gleam | of romance, and he married in due and two children rela-| course.

To het surprise no an- swer came, and from thatdtime Archi bald Mclean dropped out of the sight of his family as complétely as though he had been swgllowed alive. Years passed; the other mombers of the {amily married and moved away, and "with the progress of time\the name ol the missing man became only a me: mory. Two weeks ago his sister, the wile of the Rev. Daniel Scott, Pense Sask., was walking down a street in Regina when she noticed Mclean, painter." Instantly there rose in her mind's eye the face of her long lost brother and she entered the shop, A strangely young man with grey hair came to meet her. As she looked at him with hali affectionate curiosity this new person began to fuse gradually with the brother who had disappeared thirty yeurs age. "She began to question him, but was dis: appointed the vagueness of the an. swers which "she received. In 1888 Molean was injured in a train wreck near Fort William, io which several people lost theie lives. After recovering from his injuries aud a severe attack of typhoid fever ho left the hospital and was horrilied to find that his mind was a perfect 'blank. A piece of bone pressing in upon the brain cavity had braised some of the sensitive cells so that {hey refused to perform their important of fice. He remembered only his name and that he was a painter by trade. His education had taken wings and he found hignseli unable to read or wiite. After taking a course at a night school he overcame this bandi- cap. i Fram Fort William he drifted west and visited many places, hoping that the lost faculty would be restored by accidentally runnip inte familiar scenes. Finally, he settled in Regina and went into the business of painting wad 'decorating with such success that he built up a trade of his own wis also employed by tha government.
