The little ghl unci her C-year-old brother ran out of the house jesterday afteinoon to play, shoitly utter 3 o'clock. About llfteen minutes later the little boy came i mining back intb the house und told his mother that a tall man hnd met them on the road and had told Gernldinc that her mother wunted hei and that he would take her to her. The man took the little girl by the hand, the boy said, and led her off tlnough what Is known as the Albach faun and towatds the Muishwood woods on the mountain-side. Mrs. Heffion became almost fi antic with anxiety und Immediately began making Inquiiies among thu neighbors Seveial said that they had seen the little ghl vvalkliig acioss the field with a sttange man, whom they clescilbed us being tall and powerful-looking. When night came on and theic was no sign of the little one's letuin, the father oigunized u seiuchlng puilvi among the neighbors and over lltty men started out on a "eaich, armed with lanterns. This number was gradu ally swelled to neatly a hundred, and a sjstematlc scouting of tho whole mountnin-slde was begun.
