The "0Genbacher lady," who has been ilv-
Ing riddle to curious Germans for the last quar-.
ter OF century, has Just died In her house 1t
O1cnbach. leaving tile problem OF her namo and
origin unsolvcd. Nearly all sha knew Of herself
was that she was Hungarian BY birth. On the
9th OF November, 1858, splendid cquipagc was
driven to the bortlers Of large wood ncnr
Frankfort. An old lady descended IRON tho
carriage, the servants handed ont 4 beautiful

given the child some rneat and bread wrapped
In q ffne linen nnpklu, said: swat here few
minutea. must 90 back to the carriage, and
N.ll bring mamma to you" She never returned.
The child wandered, as ahe said, three days Htlti
three nights fa the forest, CRYING for " Mamma

she slept for ut,e night, but on the next morn
