They had gone opeuly to the railroad station, but noi one • therehad noticed them. The guarciene the train dimly re- membered a woriatiiiiiiiid child in a nem- partmenb, but could give no description. As the Allbrights were poor and lowly, DO great stir was crested, and no great effort was made by the detectives to re- store the boy to his parents. The boy was taken from Sheffield to Liverpool, beirg so well treated on the way that he had no thought of his home, At Liverpool he was hold that his name was John Manton'and that:the woman was hie rarither. When he disputed the point he was aoundly whipped. His hair was cut close, his dress entirely changed, and a liquid was rubbed on his akin which turned it dark. Except when he asked to go home, or denied that his name was John Manton, he was kindly treated, and after he had been beaten seven or eight thaws he accepted the new name and ceased to refer to his parents. Young as he was this was a stroke of policy on his part. He realized that he had been stolen frora home, and he kept re- peating to hiraself that hie true name was Willie Allbright, and that he lived at Sheffield. He was in Liverpool six weeks before he knew the name ef the city. When he had been taught how toiciance, sing, tum- ble, and walk a tight rope—a matter of tiaree months' time—he was taken around the country with a email show, which the woman owned in part. THE NOVELTY OF TRAVEL was oo agreeable that he alraost forgot his situation, and was for two or three years quite content. There was no one to teach nine how to read or write, but he waa quick-witted, and could reason beyond his yearn He had hopes that the show would some day reach Sheffield, and he wculd then elip out and run home but the people of course carefully avoided bhe place, Once, when they were ehowing at Doncaster, a few miles away, Willie ob- served a man, whose facmhad a familiar look, gazing at him In' an earnea Wanner, and presently heard him say to a friend: "The Welk, keeps me thinking of the child who vrao stolen away from neighbor Allbright, but of course it can't be the one." ' The boy 17,700 about to call out thathis name was Willie Allbright, when the wo- man, who always kept an eagle eye on him, came closer and intheridated him. The show then hurriedly packed up and lab the place. The boy now realized mare fully than eeer that his right name was Ailbright, and that hehad been sta. en from home'brit he also felt his help - 'entices. He had been told that if he ever tried to run away wild animals would puermad and devote him, and , , . HE WAS IN MORTAL TERROR of it bulldog which followed the show. He therefore humbly obeyed all orders and made no move to run away. Pie was about 8 years old when he changed mas- ters, being sold for a good round price to a man who called himself Prof. Willia,mo. Thie man was a ventrilequist and juggler, and he took the boy to Australia with hien and gave hall performances for a year or so. They then returned, and made the tour of Semiarid and Ireland, and sailed for America. Allbright wan about 11 Parsold when he landed in Montreal The profesoor then took the name of La. Pierre, though he was 110 Frenchman in look or speech, and travelled for a year. Otte day, aa they were filling a date in an Ontario town, the boy was sent to the Post Offite with lettere'and a nrieus thing happened. One of the four boys who had wit/mend the performance the night previous made up to him in it friend- ly way, and ariked hie name. "Johnny Menton," waa the reply. " Yes'but that's your stage name, What bo the other I" "Willie Allbright." "That's funny. A family nAmed Ali- ght livea next door to us. They ruled live in England." :8oadideI;O' 11/1ybn are related.
