NEw YoRK, Nov. 16-The wealthy aud
handsome Henrietta Crowell of Brooklyn
has eloped with a man of all work. Miss

The man 70 whom she has been secretly

Gates sauitarium, Lakewood, N. ]. With
her husband she has fed. it is supposed, to
Europe.
The Crowell family has long been socially
prominent in Brooklyn. Nilsson, is a tall,
dark, shabby man of unprepossessing looks.
employed in the house TO do chores and clean
the bath tub after the bathers. For long
time Miss Crowell has been taking long
walks in the woods with her lover, but no.
body suspected her attachment. It seems,
however, she had become strongly infatu-
ated with the man. Her relatives had not
heard from her for two weeks, and the first
news OF her marriage to reach them was an
advertisement in newspaper.
THEY THOUGHT HIM A GUIDE.
Miss Crowell went to Lakewood last wins
ter, as usual. After she had been at the
place few weeks il began TO be noticed
that she took great interest in Nilsson. He
was frequently about the bathing houses.
and she engaged In lung conversations with
him. When she gave up her daily visits to
the baths she began to take long walks in
tie woods. On these walks Nilsson was her
companion. No particular attention was
paid to them. It is customary for strangers
at Lakewood who walk through the woods
to take guides with them, and Nilsson was
supposed to be acting in this capacity of
guide to Miss Crowell.
At the end OF the winter Miss Crowell and
her relatives returned to Brooklyn. IL is
supposed, however, that the letters which
came frequently to Lakewood for Nilsson
were from her, and that Nilsons weekly
leaves of absence were spent with her In this
city. The present season at Lakewood be-.
gan three weeks ago, and among the first to
arrive at the sanitarium Yves Miss Croweu
alone.
AND THEY WE'RE MISSING.
She told DIR. Gates that she had merely
run down 70 see the improvements that had
been made during the summer, ard the
next day she departed. Thereafter Nilsson
began 20 show nervousness and worry. DR..
Gates noticed that something was wrong
with him and suggested that he take few
days rest. Nilsson said that was just what
he was about 20 ask the doctor for, and the
next day he disappeared. He has not been
seen In Lakewood siuce.
In the meantime Miss Crowell had not
been home, but she was supposed to be vis-
iting relatives who live out of town. When
the marriage notice appeared on Tuesday
her family in Brooklyn were struck at once
with the similarity OF names. They secuted
the idea that the Henrietta Crowell was
their Henrietta, vi bo had not been heard OF
Tor several days. They telegraphed to the
family whom she was supposed 10 be visit
ing. The answer came back that she had
not been there at ALL Now thoroughly
alarmed the relatives made inquiries at
Lakewood and after long search discov-
cred the truth.
