He has secured a position in the Shearer saw m ill and. started to work Monday morning. He is a thrifty young fellow and w ill, no doubt, add considerable to the bank account which he already had in this city. W illie walked all the way to W end ling, and when his mother arrived had a position in the machine shop with an acquaintance o f the fam ily, who waa quite surprised at the boy’s ap pearance there, not knowing until the next day o f the great worry he was causing parents and friends o f the fam ily. W illie said he had run aw ay because he had had some trouble at school, and didn’ t want to go any more. When told that his mother was nearly dis tracted because she thought he m ight be drowned, be was anxious for ber to be notified where he waa. While searebing fo r his own boy, Mr. Patten located a boy for another fath er who had traced his son to this city. The name o f this father was not learned, but he was from Seattle and the lad had been coaxed off by a man. ONE THIRD OF THOSE WHO PASS EXAMS.
