When inquiry was made Of her mother,
II was learned that the girl had remained
at her house but few minutes. All her
clothing was left behind. This fact leads
TO a belief that she may have either
met with an accident, or have been dealt
with foully. The girl has been complain
ing Of bad health for several weeks. and
1t is thought that she may have wandered
off. and possibly have fallen into bad
hands.

years she has been out In service. The
