Pcasc, the missing Newport 16-years-old
girl is with her relatives in Boston, but
the rumor has not been verified. James
Gahnc, with whom Annie is said to have
departed SO mysteriously, is still in the
list of ''don' t-know where's and Mrs
Gagne is living quietly at Newport, keep
ing boardcrs and making dresses. The
secret of Annie Pease's misfortune lay in
her surroundings. She had been left with
her aunt, Mrs. Gilman in Newport, by
her father, who is a Boston man. Mrs.
Gilman and her husband went to Cottage
City for the summer and left Annie, who
had long required proper restraint and
guidance, with the Gahne family. The
result is not especially to be wondered at,
