FAILED TO MEET LITTLE TOT
Baby Girl Travels Alone From Ala
bama Here.

Passengers at the Central Railway
station yesterday were much interested
in a tiny little girl-a mere tot, who
travelled alone a distance of nearly 1876
miles from Three Notch, a country vii
lage in Alabama, below Montgomery.
The little girl was put off here by the
conductor, this being her destination.
But there was no one to meet her; q
stranger among stran gers, there was
not one to greet the little traveller and
bid welcome to their home.
Her paper check for tiny trunk
was pinned to her little jacket. There
was no letter or note from which IN.
formation of her could be obtained ,and
the tiny traveller rolled her big blue
eyes inqulringly into the faces of those
about her.
The only information she could give
OF herself was that fpapa" was to meet
her and take her home" But ''papa''
was not there, nor did he come,
Officer Cobb, on duty at the depot
learned that her fathers name was
Cook, but just where he resides could
not be learned Officer Cobb took the
baby girl to his own home and viii
care for her there until ''papa" comes
for her.
She made the long trip entirely
alone, the big hearted conductor car.
