All Europe was searched for her by her parents, but they obtained no trace of her whereabouts. Several months later a girl found wandering alone in the streets of New York, apparently demented, declared, "I am the daughter of Victor Hugo." This was the only statement she ever made. She was sent back to France to her I parents, but her lips remained sealed until the end. and the tragic story of her life never was revealed. She failed to entirely recover her reason and after the death of her father lived a solitary existence In her villa, morose and seldom speaking. When she did consent to converse It never was of the past. GOVERNOR TO CALL !
