Miss Lizzie Dubois. cashier in W. ".

avenue, near Montgomery street, received
fright on last Saturday night Miss
Dubois is a brunette, about nineteen
years old and very attractive. Just be-

man walking up and down the sidewalk
IN front of the store. Every time he
passed he would look in and smile. At
first she did not pay much attention to
It, but as it continued she became some
what alarmed. He finally disappeared
and Miss Dubois prepared to go to her
home
She started down Bergen avenue to-
ward Fairmount. She. had not gone many
yards when she heard footsteps behind
her. On looking back she saw the tall,
sim fellow she had noticed passing in
front of TIE store. Thoroughly frightened
she crossed the street and started back
The fellow followed her. She was too
frightened to leave Bergen avenue alone,
SO she retraced her steps and returned to
the office. Here she explained the matter
to one of the bookkeepers, Mr.. w. Still
wagon, who volunteered to escort her
home. Nothing more was seen of her an

who followed her as tall and dark, had
side whiskers and beard, wore glasses
and was attired in rather a shabby suit
of clothes. He is the same man who has
made it practice to promenade Bergen
avenue, speaking to girls who have no
