nerrI-E daughter of welltodo parents in Louisville Ky started to her church one morning afaofcttwo weeks ago From that day to this no one has had the slightest tidings of her Severalchildren corresponding with startling completeness to the description of the missing girl have
been found and advertised with great joy as Alma Kellner only to leave the stricken parents Indeeper anguish than before
Th story ot this strange disappearance has been written for the
Sunday Evening Edition of The Washington TimesBy ALLEN D ALBERT Jr
On the very spot of the disappearance lie has traced the little girl to the last person known tohave seen her alive His account is an intimate and sympathetic study of a horne once unusuallyhappy but during the very season when other homes are brightest with Christmas decorations andother children most eager with Chrsitmas anticipations shadowed by the darkest of uncertainties
It is a story as interesting as that of the kidnaping of little Billy Whitla This article with ex-
cellent likenesses of the missing little girl will appear only in
