Lilly Aubry, the young Colorado girl who
set out with her sister to find her fortune in
New York. will write to her home to-day The
suggestion 10 write was made to her by the
matron. There were two neiGhbors as Lilly calls
them. with whom she and her sister stopped
for a brief time after the death of their
father. They live at Lansing. some miles
distant from the settlement OF Insing which
was tho girls home As soon as the matron
made her proposition the girl said that she had
been wishing ever since her arrival in the city
TO write 20 these neighbors. TO whom she felt
very grateful. She said also that she wished to
write to the minister. who lived in Lansing. but
who used TO 20 over 10 lnsing every other sun

matron asked of what denomination this
:" on" ne girl said. hes a regular noisy
The matron will direct the girl 10 ask all sorts
Of questions in her letter-how far Lansing is
from lnsing ; what the station is whore the
pair took the train how much money the
older sister lad aud what fare she paid
The girl seems 10 be simple-minded 10 the
point OF intellectual weakness. She mover pro
poses anything, but whatever Is suggp sted she
accepts eagerly. She never mentions her sister
unless the matron speaks Of her llrst. aud
ask about her 1t will be remembered that
when the sis entered the seventh avenue ear
I'm her search for Church street. according 10 the
grl's story she took the strhel, that constituted
their whole baggage, with her The matron
asked the girl why her sister. since She intend-
ed ~ return within an hour. instead OF BURDEN
ing herself with the satrhel, did not leave it in
her charge. She answered frankly that she
thought her sistcr wAs Nrald 20 trust It with
her, The girl worries great deal but never
complains. Tho matron frequently sees her
crying, although she always urlehtens up and
becomes cheerful when she is spoken To- She
il kept busy az needle work. and she appears
peased al having something 70 DO.
Nothing has heen heard of Minnie. AS she is
intelligent and well educated, il is impossible
to suppose that she would not have read or
heard OF her sisters whereabouts and found
her out before this. ii she had been AZ large.
Her sister declares that she Is perfectly pure
minded and would never have abandoned her
OF her own will. Those who have given the
most attention 10 the cnse believe that "A very
hard fate has bofaen her.
