Pittsburg, Nov. 7.-"Can you point
out my papa-Mr. Fairman-to me?"
inquired q pretty aud demure young
brunette, attired in a stylish travel
Ing suit. as she roamed about in the
waiting room Of the Union station last
evening.
Il don't believe my daughter was on
that tratn," nervously complained a
middle-aged man, hair tinged with
gray, standing beside a policeman as
the pair watched the last passenger
alight from the train just arrived from
New York over the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
Thus for fifteen minutes were faith
er and daughter, separated for four
teen years, each withing speaking dis
lance, yet not recognizing each other.
The reunion between Francis p.
Fairman, notary, who lives at 2029
lapeer avenue, and the 21-year-old
daughter, Miss Edithe M. Fairman,
kidnapped when she was q mere child
OF seven summers, was not affected
until a newspaper reporter, to whom
the girl applied to find her father,
brought them face to face.
Whfrl Away In Auto.
Although she had brushed him in
passing through the main exit from
the train shed, neither recognized. the
other. Their suspense and anxiety
were reflected on their countenances.
A touring car was waiting in front
of the station, and the moment they
met, after the reporter had introduced
them, Mr.. Fairman grabbed his
daughter by the arm and in the
twinkling Of an eye they bundled into
the auto and dashed away, ignoring
the questions piled them by the news
paper men.
There was no sentimental scene at
the station, both father and daughter
seemingly conscious of the eyes of the
small coterie of spectators who knew
their story, and they were eager to
hurry away to privacy.
They did not go to the Fairman
home in Mt. Lebanon for the night,
but it is believed went to the home Of
some friend of the family instead.
The second Mrs. Fairman, 1t Is said,
has been equally interested in the
search her husband has made for the
daughter by his divorced wife, Mrs.
Mary B. Fairman. She will accord
the young woman q pleasant welcome
to the suburban home.
Events transpiring since he divorce
ed the first Mrs. Fairman, the kidnap-
ing of his daughter. incidents of the
persistent search he has made for
her and plans for the FUTURE 1t is be-
lieved. will be topics sufficient for
the the pair to talk over In privacy
for many hours And this talk, ma
turally. will take place before the
pair go out to Mr.. Fairman's resi-
dence where his daughter will make
her future home.
Girl Is Attractive.
The long lost girl is unusually at
tractive in both face and figure, and
possessing q winning manner, she
will not be long in acquiring friends
and admirers.
Miss Fairman has admitted that she
had q tilt with her mother and the
two became estranged several months
ago when the girl went out alone In
the world to make her living as
nurse in the hospital at East Norwalk,
Conn. The mothers objection to the
girl joining her father had no effect
and the daughter, being Of legal age

wealthy commission dealer in stocks
and bonds, with ofices In New York,
but has spent his small fortune in a
long quest to recover his daughter.
