Old. Found u So.

Mrs. Sarah Gabriel is eighty-three
years old. She lives with her daugh-
ter Mrs. Isreal Morris, in Fifth
avenue, near 18th street, and she
makes a practice of visiting each Sun
day some one of her many daughters
and granddaughters who have mar
ried and settled all over the city. It
was the turn of her daughter-in-law
who lives in Y Orchard street yester-
day. The Yiddish woman set out with
Mrs Henrietta Gabriel, her grand
daughter, TO pay the visit
They went in a Madison avenue car
TO the BOwery and Delaney street.
where they took transfers for the De-
iancey street car. The conductor was
IN great hurry and he called to the
women to hurry up. They ran and
the younger one helped the older up
on the car The conductor couldn't
wait any longer. He rang the bell
and the car started, leaving young
Mrs. Gabriel behind
Old Mrs. Gabriel cannot speak
word OF English and she knows moth
ing of the streets of New York. AS
her granddaughter saw her carried
away in the car she did not know what
might become of her She cried cut
and receiving no attention ran after
the car, calling to the conductor to
stop The conductor was busy. The
younger woman soon lost sight of it,
but she followed the tracks to the end
of the line. There she made a search
of the waiting room. asking anxiously
for the grandmother, and of the neigh
borhood. asking everybody She met
whether they had seen the Old wo-
man. No enc had seen anything of
her. The young woman went home
and reported to all the branches of the
family, who reported to the police.
A general alarm was sent OUT last
night. The police and al the mem
bers of the family old enough.
searched the city all last night.
This morning at 10 o'clock one of
the daughters, Mrs Celia Merican,
was walking along Orchard street
when she met the old woman face to
race. There was a scene. but Mrs.
Merioan made it. Her mother was as
serene and happy looking as if MOTH
ing whatever had happened. She was
hurried over the two books which
separated her from Y, where the
CHER 5augai.ar lived, and though only
one of her children was there. she was
tell her story. She said she got off
her car at Attorney street She did
not know where to go, but she walked
along without being afraid looking
into the windows of the shops and the
faces CT the people. By-and-by she
noticed the name Stanowitz in hebrew
on a sign. She used to know when
she was a little girl a child of that
name. This was .Ong ago and back
in the old country. Mrs. Gabriel went
into the shop, and sure enough the
good woman who kept it now, also a
very old woman, was the playmate of
her childhood They had an awfully
good time. They talked and gOssiped
of the old days, had tea, and when
they were tired out Mrs. StanCwitz
gave her friend a bed.
4 slept very WE'LL said the cid wo-
man &c her daughters. 4 had very
pleasant Sunday. The only trouble
was that | knew you were all out
hunting for me and worrying, but
now it is all over and I have found an
old friend
One by one the relatives came IN
and by night they will probably all
know that the lost has been found
But by that time Mrs. Sarah Gabriel
will be all tired out telling over and
over the story of her adventures.
