THIRTY YEARS' REMORSE
“ Received.” An amazing drama of real life lies behind the insertion of this single word in the “ Agony ” column of, a newspaper in England. For some unknown person it meant release from a thirty years’ burden of remorse. This is the story. A small parcel was delivered in a Derbyshire village addressed to a man who had long since left the place. It was handed to his brother, who found it to contain a roll of notes. With the money, was a* note saying that the sender took this money thirty years ago and had since suffered endless remorse. The note asked that tho receipt of the money should be acknowledged by inserting tbo word “ Received ” in a newspaper. The man to whom the money was sent was one of the-best-known men in a northern city. Ho retired and now lives in a village in East Anglia, from which place ho lias acknowledged the receipt of the money.
