PRETTY MAYNARD ELLA
She is Only Fourteen and
Has a Wild Passion
for Fiction.
AN IMPROvIsED STEPMOTHER.
The Girl Found by the Police Wan-
dering on the Heights-A Worry
to Her Parents.

The Hoboken police authorities ara
puzzled over the strange disappearance Of
fourreen-year-old Ella Saavye who lived
with her parents at No. III Park avenue,
that city. She was the ouly child, and
her mother has been taken sick from the
anxiety caused by her daughters unex-
planned absence. The father, Paul
Saavye, has communicated with the
police of neighborinx cities and towns,
and has also conducted personal search
for the girl, buS without avail. She was
pretty girl, exceedingly well developed.
and more apt to be taken as seventeen
years Of age. She was a pupil at Public
School No. 2. at the upper end OF Garden
street, and was considered an apt scholar.
and an obedient aud docile child There
was some trouble about her books which
the teacher told q her to explain to her
mother, and which she failed to do. This
is the only reason known which would
cause her to remain away from home so
long.
Her parents last saw her Tuesday morn
ing when she started for school in her
usual cheerful manner. When she failed
to return within an hour after the ap
pointed time in the afternoon the mother
started out to find her bur without sue.
cess. When Mr.. Saavye returned homo
that evening he WAS very much surprised
at his wife's story Of the girls absence.
He Immediately left the house and tried
to get some information from the children
in her class. They remembs ed having
seen Ella in the morning, but one OF
them said the teacher had sent her away
on an errand.
SENT HOME By THE TEACHER
The father saw the teacher that night,
and she was surprised that Ella was not
at home. She told Mr.. Saavye that she
had given the child a note to take hom 9
in the afternoon and that was the last
she saw Of her. Chief Donovan was then
called upon and he placed Detective Nell
Ella had no associates among the children
in the neighborhood of her home and that
in fact few of them knew her, and those
few hardly knew her name.
Nelson could find no one who had seen
the girl after she left the school.
The Saavye family nave been living in
Hoboken about two years, having come
from Richmond, Va. the girl had only
one relative In the city besides her father
found that she had not been to her aunt's
house. He declared that there was no
place In Hoboken or vicinity where the
girl could go, as she was kept In tine
house the greater part OF the time and
knew little about The city or any neigh
boring place.
The parents do not know what to make
ont OF the case, and the police authoritie es
are in as much OF dilemma. Chief Dom
ovan believes that the child was afraid Of
beating II she were to go home with the
note from the tencher, and that she has
wandered not far away, and will be
heard from before long.

his companion, aud when the new arriv-
ais winke at and beckoped to the girls,
the latter did not hesitate in seeking pas
lures new. Alpnonse and his friend
watched the loving actions OF the girls

marks passed bel ween the rivals, and

the four young men on the sidewalk. Al

He was advised by Major Truman to
visit all the four counties interested in

at that city and at Redlands,
Riverside and Ontario. He visited Po-

and at my price; but that it would take
time and patience to find it. Go around

the farmers how they have succeeded,
