AFTER a LONG SEARCH.
The Romantic Story Of . Little Southern
Girl Who was kidnapped.

me Romantic Story Of . Litsle southsrn
~ Girl Who was kidnapped.
+ About Eve years ago Mr.. James j.
Arnold, son Of old Parson Arnold, well
known in Shelby and adjoining counties
Of Alabama, while Waiting his step
mother, Mrs. Nancy Arn1lN, of Calera,
Shelby county, had . 4-year-old daugh-
ter, Mahala j., stolen from him. Mr..
Arnold learned that his child had been
seen with woman who called herself
Sarah j. Colbert, and who had undoubt-
edly taken the girl away. Inquiry at
the railroad Office at Calera revealed no
hint as to the direction gone or the OBJ
jective point Of the child stealer. The
child's mother had died when the former
was an infant, but there was small
brother and sister still living, home COM
pAnions at the time of the abduction Of
the girl.
A search for the stolen daughter
proved fruitless, and five years had
elapsed. In the meantime the father
had moved to Mississippi and returned
again to Tuskaloosa county, where he
lived when his daughter was stolen, and
where he has resided for the last two
years, since his return from Mississippi.
In 1887 John G. Arnold, who had as
sisted his brother in the search for the
lost child, received o postal card, dated
Jan. IA, from Key, Ala, and signed ~.
NJ. Bridges" informing him "the par
ties" he had inquired about got their
mail at that Office. From this clew only
the brother continued his search by in
quiries and correspondence in the effort
to discover the whereabouts of his lost
niece.
Nearly three more years were thus
spent in trying to unravel the mystery Of
the stolen child, when at last what ap-
peared to be fruitless effort was re-
warded by O substantial clew to the
girls probable whereabouts. The father
recently act out from his home, nearly
twenty miles south of Tuskaloosa city,
to trace up the information he had OBJ
tanned. On reaching st. Clair he fol-
lowed the windings Of the Coosa via
Greensport and Hoke's Bluff, entering
Cherokee-the county he set out for. He
had learned that little waif girl had
been left with q McAlva in Cherokee,
about fifteen to eighteen miles above
Coloma. A description Of the child con-
vinced Mr.. Arnold that she was his lost
daughter. On reaching McAlva's his
convictions were confirmed as soon as
his eyes looked upon her features.
McAlva said the girl had been left ct
his house by q woman calling herself
Sal Wheeler, who was found to 60 also
by the alias Sal Colbert, and who after
ward came back after the child, he re-
fusing to give her up, but let her have
the latter's clothes, which she demanded.
The girl had been called Emma by the
woman who stole her, but retained the
memory Of her real name. Mahala ID
now about years old, and Of pleasant
features, bright and intelligent face, and
BY no means Of an unprepossessing ap-
pearance. -Ashville Agis. ~

tied up and began to act mischievously
around him. Tho barn keeper saw one
Of them nip tho bull on the flank and cut

drove the mules out and put up the bars.
A few days after that the bull was let

OF the mules nibbled straw on either side
OF him. At his right stood the mule that

barn man was watching them. All at

made vicious lunge at the mule on his
right, and thrust one OF his horns deep
into it, left aide. The mule died In no

MIR. MOODY AT YALE.

The We'll Known Evangelist AWak-
 ening Great Religious Activity at
 the University-Hls Yesterday After-
 noon Talk.
 Interest in MT. Moody has not abated @ particle among the students and his meetings yesterday were attended by the usual large crowds.
 The afternoon meeting was held in the large lecture room of Dwight hall and was attended by students chiefly. The subject of his talk was "Seek ye the Lord," and his words in substance were as follows:
 Jesus Christ came into this world on e mission. He did not come to be judge as a great teacher but to save 1t. He first seeks then saves. Who ever heard of sheep hunt- ing up the shepherd. It was not the piece of silver that rejoiced, which the women in the parable lost, but the woman who found it. How men will go away from God. The true shepherd like the increasing sheep.
 When we preach to men about being lost they do not think they are lost, but other men who gamble or get drunk, but believe that the preaching does not apply to them.
 What seek yet Gentlemen, what has brought you here to-daya Many of the dis- men in Yale started in the Christian path a few years ago, but have fallen back, while others have gone on further in the life of Christ. Why Is it9 Is 1t because Christ is more to some men than to othersl It Is be- causs just as in the days of old, that there are some who follow Christ with impure motives. Some of his disciples thought he would get up temporal kingdom and they might have positions as secretary of state or something else. There were few who fol- lowed Christ not for what they could get, but for what he wac, and they were not dis. appointed. You won't be disappointed if you follow him for what he is. Do you think that human nature has changed any since the time of Christi Not bit; it Is just the same.
 "saek the Lord while he may be found,
 is said. It does not sey seek happiness or
 anything else but seek the Lord. There is a good deal of sham about this seeking after the Lord and not finding him.
 An anxious sinner and an anxious Savior will get together pretty quick. am tired of this half hearted search. asked man once if he was converted and he said no. Do you want to be eonverteda Haven't any objec. ton, he said. That was pretty state to seek salvation in.
 ComeI The question Is will you seek hint God was terribly in earnest when he sent his son into this world. What rush there would be if l should announce that had lost valuable diamond while coming in through the door of this room and offered to give 0,000 to the one finding it. All the police in New Haven couldn't keep you back, and I'm afraid all further interest in the sermon would be lost. But what is to be compared with the chance for eternal lifea Is not this the time, the place, to sock the Lofdi Don't let another opportunity pass by.
 The meeting in Battell last evening was one also of unusual interest not only to the stu. dents, but to tho pQblic. X bs1a N ezzs5s 4sa y5rseslyS5

Polo Pointers.

 New Haven in Bridgeport tonight, and a great game may be expected.
 Other games to night: Hartford at Meriden and New Britain at Springfield.
 After to.night's game the "Scientists" will have q rest until Friday when ''Kelly's Kids" will be the attraction.
 Sullivan of the Hartford team has only one point that makes him polo player. The only thing he Is good for is to jump in front of @ man whom he drives and stops the ball.
 Pierce never puts up the strong game out only once has he put up the game this season in this rink that he always plays at home. The writer knows whereof he speaks. as to who is the fastest rusher in the league. great many think that Cunningham excells in this respect, but Tom Cotter can, when he wishes to, get over the polo surface faster than any man in the business.
 As Fast day in Maasachusetts will be April 8, and in Connecticut April 4. the Spring felds and Bridgeports will shift their games 90 that the Bridgeports will play in Springfield Thursday, April 3, and the Spring6elds at Bridgeport Friday, April 4.
 Williams as center is of course not to be compared with the other oenters in the league but as the champions have managed to keep their lead right along with him playing, the other members on the team ought to be the last to find any fault with "Dumpy's" play iuQ
