father was overjoyed and began maxi
ing preparations to visit his long lost
child, now woman Of more than so
years. Saturday a letter came tell
ing him to postpone sse trip as the
quarantine would PROBABLY prevent
him from reaching his destination. AS
soon as the yellow fever danger is
past, however, Mr.. MoGaw will hurry
to. Little Rock.

on the Rock Island railroad that Mr..
McGaw learned the news that he has

run takes him through Little Rock and

quaintance of the woman who proved
to be the daughter of his old friend,

between father and daughter and there
is now no doubt that the aged gentle
man will have the pleasure OF seeing
his child If he lives to make the trip
to Arkansas.
The little girl who Mr.. McGaw last
saw in the dark days before the close
of the war is now married and has a
happy family. Her husband owns his
own home and they are contented and
prosperous.
