NEW YORK, Sept 24.-Fears are en-

a year ago to entrap her. The missing
girl is the daughter of Winifred Scott.

connected with her disappearance a year
and half ago, her family and the po-
lice feel the keenest apprehension.
HER FORMER DISAPPEARANCE
The Scott family was living at No. 5s1
Bergen street at the time and Alberta
was attending a fashionable school in
Brooklyn Heights. Sent shopping by her
mother one afternoon, the girl failed to
return. For days an unsuccessful search
was prosecuted. Hope was almost gone.
when Alberta was found wandering in
the convent grounds Of the Sisters of St.
Joseph at Yonkers. She was dazed and
did not fully recover her senses until she
reached home
Her story was that on entering a Ber-
gen street car on the afternoon Of her
disappearance, she was annoyed by the
fixed gaze of an unknown man, who
sat opposite her. Slowly but surely she
felt the influence Of the mans piercing
eyes growing upon her. She fought
against the feeling, and finally made All
effort to leave the car, but failed. Her
mind grew confused and she lost con-
Sciousness.

a FAWORl TIE POEM.
IT'S the Last Rose of Summer.

(Thomas Moore-)
IT'S the last rose OF summer,
Left blooming alone.
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone
No flower Of her kindred.
No rosebud Is nigh.
TO reflect back her bushes.
To give sigh for sigh.
Til not leave thee. thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves Ger the bed.
Where thy mates Of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow.
When friendships decay.
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh: who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
