train from Kansas City, and was met
by a big policeman, who had been
specially detailed to await her coming,
aud escort her to the Four Courts. |
She spent the night in the detention |
room in charge of Matron Gilbert. |
Yesterday morning her mother. Mrs. |
Edwin Reach. reached St. Louis and |
went at once TO the Four Courts. |
Mother and daughter embraced and |
then the story of the child's devotion |
to her grandparent was revealed. Here |
it is in her own words: For a long |
time | have been hOmesick TO see |
grandpa. Sunday when papa and |
mamma went to church | took just |
enough money from mammals purse to |
pay my way to Ironton. Monday |
morning | went to school an hour be-

Mrs. Reach and her daughter left yes
terday morning for Irouton, after the
little girl had written a telegram to her
grandfather. announcing her coming. !
Cyrus Russell Is the name of the grand
parent TO whom she is so attached. He
is Mrs keach's father. Louisa is an
unusually bright and pretty girl. Her
father Is custodian of the building of
Parkville College, at Parkville." Mrs.
Reach and her little daughter arrived
here Tuesday noon and are stopping
with the father and grandfather, Mr..
Cyrus Russell in Russellvi.le. God
bless little Louisa who had the courage
to plan and undertake a four hundred
mile trip all by herself in order to see
her grandpa. Her parents and her
grandparents both ought to be mighty
proud of the little. one. And they
doubtless are, even if they do solemly
shake their heads. when talking of this
affair. and wonder if little Louisa isn't
wise and self-willed beyond her tender
years.
