Fouad Child After Sixteen Years.

After having searched constantly for eight years, Andrew Webber found in Maryville, Mo.,' his daughter, from whom he had been separated sixteen years. Andrew Webber and his wife were a Hungarian couple who came to the United States in 1883 and located In St Louis. Eighteen years ago the wife died, leaving the father with a 4-year-old daughter. Father and daughter separated, and two years ago she was married at Jackson to Will Knoth of Maryville. In February, 1899, the father learned of his child’s whereabouts. Without making any reply, he started out on a twowheeled wagon for Maryville. In his search Webber drove over 6,000 miles and wrote hundreds of letters. He said that when his wife died she left some property In Hungary, which was to go to her daughter when the latter became 20 years old. He is not certain what it is worth, but thinks not less than SIO,OOO.
