Found At Last.

Little Lilly Holhouser, a beautiful
child of 10 years, who lived with her
mother in st. Louis, was induced to
leave her home by a blind man and
wife by the name OF Taylor. She was
finally located in Mexico yesterday by
officers.
Her story is q sad one. She says
the Taylors made her sing on the
streets for a living and many times
she was forced to be without shelter
or food.
The incidents leading to her discov-
cry are very peculiar. A few days
ago she was singing on the streets of
Montgomery City. A prominent
banker of that city was affected by the
sight and, having no children of his
own, wished to adopt this one. She
left Montgomery City, however,
! before he had a chance to inquire into
the matter, and he started Sheriff
Mccall in quest of her, instructing
him to spare no expense, If it were
possible, to get her. Sheriff Mccall
found her at Mexico and, upon getting
her aside, she unwound to him her
sad story. 1t was q pitiful sight to see
the child plead with the officers to
rescue her from her captors.
The Taylors tried hard to keep the
child, but, through the assistance OF
kind friends, she was started on her
way home.
