Unaware that only a few miles away a cousin has for four years been spending every available penny on caring for hia bedridden ster, Mrs. Mary King, 75-years-old w.dow, of Stanhope-gardens, Harringay, London, recently continued her search in Sheffield for relatives to whom she can leave her savings,

Mrs. King is a daughter of the late Edwin Padley, of Shef- field. She advertised in a paper for relatives to whom she could leave her money, and she had been living in the centre of the city in an effort to trace them.

She does not know that a few days after she left London a' letter arrived from a cousin, Mr. Henry Wilson Padley, a Sheffield chiropodist.

It told her of the plight off another cousin at Millhouses, Sheffield.

Mr. Henry Padley sald: "When I saw Mra. King's advertisement I im midiat:ly wrote to her in London telling her of the sad case of Miss Lizzia Padly, who has been bed- ridden for four years at her home in Abbey-lane, Millhouses.
