RECONCILIATION.

PRIZE IN CONSULTATION.

A story with romantic touches and ending pleasingly has occurred in our midst (says the Rotorua Chronicle). A man hard-up approached a gentleman at Rotorua for work. He was put on to dig up the garden and was recommended to another gentleman. He finished up both jobs satisfactorily. During conversation he mentioned that he had held a good position in Australia as manager of a business, but his health broke down. He was ordered by his doctor 1 to take a rest, and did so for a month or so. On returning he found that his wife had sold up their home and disappeared with his child. The house had been a present to him from his father on his marriage, and he had made it over to his wife. The man was so disgusted that he threw up everything and came to New Zealand. Now comes the denonuncenrent. He called on the gentleman who gave him the first job to thank him and to tell him that he had received a letter from his wife asking for a reconciliation, and informing him that she had been lucky enough to draw a prize in a consultation. She also enclosed money to enable him to return. He stated that he was going back.
