DAUGHTER FOUND IN COLLEGE

j Search of Fifteen Years Reaches a Happy Ending. Covington, Ind., March 23. —A strange and interesting case came ito light here yesterday which j brought great happiness to a father, mother and daughter and a happy reunion after fifteen years’ parting. I Joseph Boyer and wife now live jat Veedersburg. Fifteen years ago .they separated while living at Goodland, Indiana. They had four chiljdren, and after the separation the j children were sent to an orphans’ Ihoffle. Mabel, then five years old, ■ was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Albe. t Pepple of Laotto, Ind. Finally a reconciliation was effected between i Mr. and Mrs. Boyer, and they established a home in Veedersburg, I and the children, with the excepi tion of Mabel, returned to them. They were never able to find any trace of this child until recently, when they enlisted the aid of the state board of charities. The father learned there was a girl attending Manchester college who might be his daughter. He was attracted by the name of Mabel B. Pepple. It was found that she was twenty years old, and that her father’s name was Albert Pepple of Laotto. She was at home on a vacation.

Boyer visited the Pepple home and found the girl was his daughter. Her foster parents are in good circumstances, and are greatly attached to their adopted daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Boyer take a sensible view of the matter, and after assuring their daughter that she would always receive a loving welcome home, told her to remain with her foster parents if she was contented.
