Ho roamed from coun- try to country in search of fortune, and at length a wonderful chance put. him in possession of a tin mine in Burma. He was then rich beyond the dreams of years, and he mturned to England to find his sweetheart. But all trace of her had been wiped out by time. But he soon realized that he had trifiod with Fate in allowing the matter to rest so long, though he could only hIVe imperilled his fu- ture by acting sooner. He came to England. and With the help of private detectives succeeded in learn- ing: that the parents of his sweet- heart Were dead, and she had lost her employment and left her native town at a time which coincided with his passage from New Zeuland to America.

Thereupou the Colonial papers were flooded with advertise- ments oflering rewards. for tidings of the young woman, and the merchant returned to St. Louis to resume his business and conduct his search from there. From time to time the reward ofi'ercd brought him letters from diflerent parts of the world from people who fancied they had encountered the young woman. and the merchmt went east. west. north and south to prove or disprove these stories. For six years the search went on in this way. Whenever he took a holiday he went in search of his lost. love, and it was thus that he eventually ran across her in Mid- dleton, a. small town in Canada.
