SOUTH SCRANTON.

In the short fourteen years Of Annie
Hooks life, the bitter seem to have
predominated over the sweet. Her
mother died when Annie was but IL
years and the oldest of four children, a
sister and two brothers. Two years lat
er the children became orphans by the
death of the father. Mr.. Hook left
them property on Crown avenue,
valued at 81 900, and requested a neigh
Dor to act as executor and also guar
dian to his children. The three young
est were placed with Mrs Dankurith,
of Crown avenue, and Annie went to
reside with Mr. and Mrs. John Schroe-
Gel, of Cedar avenue. Sunshine filled
Annies life for a time, but last April
her good friends departed to reside in
Germany. Mrs. William Forkel took
the lonely girl to her home and cher
ished her Annie 10 show her grati-
ture, and not desiring to be a burden,
procured work at the silk mill. Again
the silver lining to the cloud was ap-
parent to her, but alas! her cup of Bit
terress indeed now "runneth over"
Mrs. Dankwirth has issued a warrant
to compel Annie to come and reside
with her. When told of the intention
of Mrs. Dankwith, she cried and clung
to Mrs. Forkel, saying, Il will not go!
want to stay with you!" No one
seems aware of the office from which
the warrant was issued. Alderman
Storr refused to grant a warrant on
the grounds that the guardian must
be present.
