AFTER MONTH
BRIDE IS
MISSING

New York, Aug 1o-Mrs. John Gilbert
a charming young bride OF a month. ois-
appeared on Friday afternoon from her
husbands home. No. 4s5 Orange street,
Newark. That she has vanished is the
more remarkable because she loved her
husband we'll enough 10 marry him Sc
cretly on July last and 10 elope with
him from her grandfathers house only
10 days ago.
Gilbert, who Is 10 years old. Is trav-
cling salesman for a chemical house In
New York. Business took him 10 Sid
nsy, NJ Y, recently and there he met
Miss Elizabeth Cooke. OF Sidney.
The young drummer was instantly cap
tivated by Miss Elizabeth. who is IT
years old. very pretty and with most en-
gaging manners.
But the courtship did not please Miss
Elizabeth's father and mother. Oppos-
tion made Gilbert's wooing only more
earnest, and the pair were married Sc
cretly.
About week later Mr.. Cooke learned
OF the marriage and when Gilbert went
10 visit his lovely wife he was sternly
forbidden ever again To darken the Cooke
doors. Soon Mrs Gilbert was packed off
TO her grandfather's house at Richmond
Vile nine miles from sidney. Gilbert
drove to Richmondville one day. His wife
stole from her grandfather's house, re-
Joined her husband and they drove away.
They arrived In Newark July 30 and
went 10 Gilbert's home, with his mother
Mrs. Galloway, on Orange street.
On last Friday--fatal dsy-Gilbert says
he was away from home attending TO
the chemical business. In his absence
his wife was visited by relative, Miss
Ada Ross. OF Sidney. Gilbert declares
that Miss Ross told his wife that her
mother, Mrs. Cooke. was seriously Ill
from grieving over her absence.
Mrs. Gilbert left the house with Miss
Ross. and since that time Gilbert has
vsinly yearned for sight or tidings OF his
wife.

Not exactly hard. but II takes such a
