Recovered, Kidnapped, and Fin'tft-* ly Found. The State, 13th iiut. A sensational can* of childi stealing k*? jusi. developed ia ibis city. It reads Iikk a remanlce arid is full of exciting inciddfcts and thrilling details. The theatre of 1 enactment embraces several States, i The cuitain rises showing the first scene on an orange grove in l the land ef dowers. It is * tale of kidnapping, of a mother's heartrending years of aaxietv, of a 'child's lost idsatitv, life in a convent, etc ; and a final happy deoouemeat in this citv yesterday, resulting in the resteratioa of the chilu to its mother after nine lone yearn of waiting and watching and of the many rebuffs of fate Lou la Wilsoa, daughter of Mrs. L. M. Wilaon ef Tampa, Fla., aad grand-daughter of the late ('apt. John McNeil of Dade City, Fla., waa stelea from her hone in Dade City nearly nine year* ago, and was located in Columbia yeaterdav. Mrs. Wileon arrived jn the city and identihed her longlost child aad the two have re turned to their home in Florida. The facta connected with this remarkable csue are stranger than fiction Mn. Wilson was a widow living on an orange grove naar Dada City. She was a woman of modarata means, so she relates the story, and a stranger, a man by the name af Millar, a nerth^ erner, came there to board. He wan an author and wrote several hooks, one while living in Dada City, entitled "For Twenty Years a Tramp," or "A Trip Through Ilell," which purported to be a history of his own life and several of the scenes were laid in and around Dade City. Mrs. Wilson describes Miller as an erratic fellow. He wrote under thenom de plume of Peter Blum; While at Mrs Wilson's be became strongly infatuated with little Leule, who was then about six years of age, and Mrs. Wilson's youngest child. One day he and the child suddenly disappeared, and though the surrounding country was thoroughly searched no trace could be found of the missing ones. Weeks grew into months end every one almost despaired of ever locating the child. Finally, however, a clew was secured end the child was traced to a convent in St. Augustine, Fla. This was eleven months afterward. Mrs. Wilson went for her child, but on arriving at the convent ahe had much trouble in recovering the little one as it had been placed in the convent under ae assumed name, the stranger who had left it there claiming that the child's parentw were dead and that the deceased father, a friend of his, had bequeathed it to him. Mrs. Wilson obtained the child after a court proceeding and returned with it to Dade City. All went well now for a few month*. There was no trace of Miller and he was not prosecuted of course. II.. 4 ..4 -1 * ? i Km lijw ohm y mirs not end oeio. young man hy the name of i Henderson, who had lived in a . nearby villas* for a numlur of j years and who was knows to th* ^ family, cam* over to Mrs. Wilson with a letter frem a married daughter of Mrs. Wilson's requesting that little Loula he sent back with Mr. Henderson to spend a week with hejk she having sees little of the ehW since its recovery. M rs. Wilsoe not suspecting anything wrong let the child go. But the letter proved to be a forgery. Henderson disappeared and no trace of the little girl could i be fouort. After several yeata i Mrs Wilsoa learned that by*child | was in a convent in Settaa, Ala., hut investigatien preyed* that the little girl had already gotae from there, and no one knew whither she went. Mrs. Wilson during find after this received numerous letters purporting to give infor: motion concerning the little one, some of them alleging te be frora the child and requesting that she he sent tnoney to pay har expanses heme. Shir often took the I triiis'herself and sent money at different time* in answer to letters purporting to give information, te., but dll proved in vain. On one occasion an older daughter of Mra. Wilson's made a trip to Ctnada in the seeming fruitless earcb, and to bo avail. Two years ago aha leceived a photograph of the little girl, which had been mailed on the train and gave no clew aw to where she was, but it was a satisfaction to know that she was still alive and she stil I prayed for the return of her little one. Some months ago there arrived in Columbia a girl in her teens who went to LJrsuliae convent, \ where she presented letters ef introduction and recommendation from a Mr. VV. F. Miller of Lake City, Fla., who introduced her as Mary Young, stating in his tetter to the Ursuline authorities that the g:rl had been left to his charge by a deceased friend, and that he was poer and unable to care for and educate her; that she was of good character, smart and ambitious, and requesting that they either take ber in or secure a nome lor ner where she could work ber. way through school. He added in hie letter that it was her desire to come to South Carolina, as her people had formerly come from this State, but that the family seemed extinct. As there i? no prevision made for such cases ia the convent'here the sisters interested themselves in finding a home for her and she was sent to live with a family in Waverley and has been attending the Waverly school. The girl's versiea of the story fits in with that of hsr mother. She remembers of hsr childhood, ' of ber life in different convents and of her stay in Lake City with Miller, whom she says a cotton merchant there, that he has a wife and several children; that he has generally been kind to her, but has always impressed her with tke fact that she was an orphan and a charge < n his hands When she decided that there was a mystery connected with her life by accidentally coming into possession of a letter of Miller's in regard to herself she made up her usind to solve it. From this letter she secured several names of parties in South Flerida, and when arriving in Columbia, away from Miller's espionage, she opened up a correspondence which led te the happy reunion. Mrs. VVil- 1 won received a letter last Saturday from Columbia that made her 1 feel sure that she was at last on the right track, and she immediately made arrangements to come m , person and identify the ieng-lost I child who is now quite a young lady, bright and pretty. ( The meeting is one long to be , remembered by those who witnessed it. It was full of a mother's emotion and love, of , tears and gladness, and the young \ girl was enthusiastically happy, too. The mother and daughter re- J turned to Florida on theSeabnard ? yesterday morning, Mrs. Wilson < telegraphing in advance of her j good luck, and a family reunien 1 was to take place on arriving at home, a married daughter living Key West having been notified of ] 4 We Are Gaining Public >4 WILLIAWS-H >t,;One month ago we thre iion one of the Newest ai jif "PRY GOODS, SHO TIONS and FANCY G R e!d in Lancaster. ft* ' ? . ? - I vye Knew that we woul of the Cash Trade, but d .{he "Lion's'1 share all at < We will strive to win by < ONE PRICE TO ALL ai We Sound the Note RE A are in Order.
