A ROMANCE OF THE CINEMATOGRAPH.
An incident so singular happened in our family recently that I hasten to relate it (writes a correspondent of a contemporary). Some months ago an unfortunate difference in our household resulted in a younger brother quitting home in a fit of anger. Weeks passed without trace of him, despite searching inquiries. My father was very anxious to have him back, for he had discovered that he had unwittingly wronged the lad. A little later I was at a concert, which also embraced a cinematographic entertainment. One of the pieces was a turn out of firemen. Suddenly, as one of the engines was about to start, a soldier ratv across the street into the foreground, and momentarily turning his head, with a thrill I can never explain, I recognised my missing brother.
He had enlisted in the army, and we were soon enabled to trace him, and purchase his discharge.
