About two week before the money was utolen, Broyle viaited Mi ioiuua at ner luhool, whore it i aaid the young people quarrelled and that miHi uouina broke their engagement. ruur auya later Mm Uollnii opened her duak at the achmil hou.e. and waa urpriaed to find intide, a purse con taining $400 in lara bill., tho same onea claimad to have been atolen from Air.

A Uroylea bad mya teriously disappeared the day he quar relled with Miaa Collins, the young lady waa very nervous over the affair and decided to lot tho money atay in the desk. liealizing the insecurity of the valuables, however, ho decided to take tliem home where she could take care of them, and let the Lane family iuto her secret, putting the money in a common valise along with f'Jl be longing to herself.and lolling Mr. Lane where she had put it. On the day the mull was made publio Miss Uulhns had occasion to oiien the valise and waa allocked to dud that ila content had been rifled and that all ihe money including her own had been stolen. Doing a woman, of course the first thing she did waa vo cry and then told Mr. Lane her troubles saying that she felt keenly tho loas of her own monoy, it being the accumulation of several mouths hard work in tho schoolroom. A day or two later, it ia said, Mr. Lane suifgfstcd to Misa Collins that she may huve overlooked her own money and Unit if ahe would carefully examine her value again ahe would possibly Hud it. She did so and waa no less surprised than delighted to find her own money, but the other valuables had completely disappeared, liroyles was lust seen at Mayger the day he left Miss Collins at the school houae, and his relations are seriously con cerned about him. Two of Broyle's brothers from Astoria were here last work looking for him, and fear that he has either met with serious trouble or committed suicide.
