 At the bridge to which Miss Gardner was tracked there were no signs of any struggle, and there is no evidence obtainable that there was foul play No credence is given to the theory of suicide, as the girl is said to have had no cares of any sort. She was always vivacious and the only way her friends can ac. count for her disappearance is that she walked to the bridge and, while suffering from a faint. ing spell, fell into the mill pond. Miss Gardner is charming brunette. She is tall and slen- der, and accounted one of the prettiest girls of Warren. Her beauty and charm of manner were admired by all.

The young woman left home about s o'clock Tuesday night without telling anyone where she was going and without making any preparationl for her departure She has been traced to bridge across mill pond quarter of a mile from the Gardner home. and there trace of her has been lost.
 Miss Gardner was with her mother in the yard and started toward the house alone. Her mother followed a few minutes later. and when she found the girl was not at the house a search for her was started i'm mediately. By the light of lan- terms her tracks were found in the soft earth and followed to the bridge. At the bridge the tracks disappeared and none could be found on the other side. nor, apparently going away from the bridge on the side from which she approached.

STRUCK BY EMPEROR
COINS MINTED DURING MAxIMiL-
IAN'S BRIEF REIGN.
Many of Them Now Command a Pre-.
mium-Leeend Says Cracked Die
Foretold Fate of the Adven-
turer-The Facts

The sale few days ago for $27 each
of two specimens of the gold 20-peso
pieces coined for the unfortunate En-
peror Macmillan of Mexico and dated
1866 brings attention to an interesting
series of coins which made their ap-
pearance in the brief period of the at
tempt to establish European mon
arch upon the throne of the Monte
zumas.
OF course, one of the first acts OF
Macmillan upon his accession to the
throne was the striking of coins bear
ing his portrait and title. The silver
coins were of 5, 10 and so centavos
and l peso
The copper coinage of Macmillan
consisted of single denomination,
the one-centavo piece. The story was
generally circulated at one time that
only so pieces of the 20pesos denom-
nations were originally struck. This
statement has not been confirmed, but
1t is fact that the coin is scarce.
The first of the issues of Maxi
milan attracted notice because of the
statement that the engravers of the
peces which show the emperor's bust
have executed the design in such
manner that by reversing the coin a
likeness of a donkey was produced. 1t
requires great deal of imagination, it
may be said, to work out such a re-
semblance
There has been an impression that
81. 1.
but this is not so. Great numbers of
them were struck, and as the Mexican
dollar had for many years been ia
vorite form of currency in the
orient, millions of such pieces found
their way to the eastern countries dur
ing the reign of Maximilian. The idea
that the one-peso piece was held at a
high premium may be accounted for
by the rumor in general circulation
about 1868 that the American govern
ment was buying up all the Maximil-
ian dollars at five dollars each.
There is said to be one extremely
rare variety of the one peso which
was struck at the Mexican City mint
In 1866. According to one story, the
HrSI uleS DTOke dlLer 90 pieces Hau
been coined, and this number repre-
sented the age of Macmillan when he
was shot. 1t was said also that one
ball pierced his forehead at the exact
spot where a flaw appears in the die.
AS matter of fact, says an expert
numismatist, die did go to pieces
after few coins had been struck, AMI
:he subsequent dies We're of far in
ferior workmanship. The coins of the
first set are identified by the letters on
the inscription of the diverse, which
are shorter than those on the usual is
sues, and there is depression in the
temple of the emperor's portrait.
