rand. she told her husband that she would
be back in half an hour ut the very farthcst
Two hours and half later, when Mr.. JAY
had become very anxious, his wife came
home. She was hysterical and could
scarcely speak. Her clothes were disordered
and showed traces of having gone through a
struggle. Her husband did everything to
calm her, and finally she told him story
which. if true, is II thrilling one. She says
she was accosted by Il gentemanly appearing
man, who asked her to direct him to De-
kalb avenue car, saying he was Il stranger
and had lost his way. She told him she
same way, they walked along together.
When they reached Livingston street a coupe
was seen standing at the corner. Her COM
panion grabbed her around the waist, put
one hand over her mouth and threw her into
the carriage. She was caught by a
man inside, who held a handker-
lief over her face The horses
were driven rapidly toward Futon ferry.
Soon afterwards, as she was struggling
wildly, chloroform was administered and
Mrs. Joy lost consciousness. When she
came TO, she was lying on the stoop of a
house in Throop avenue, near Ounce, calling
policeman. She finally got home. The
police believe the story Is untrue. Mr.. Joy
irmly believes that 1t is true, and scouts the
idea that his wife imagiues it. He thinks
that she remained so unconscious that the
