Connie's Disappearance Ml The rain was pattering on the roof six years ago tonight, as it is now, when Connie mysteriously disappeared, It certainly was strange that nobody, not even the police, could trace her. It was still stranaer that a person could disappear while going from her home to the grocery store, just two houses apart. Clara Anderson, Connie's sister, was thinking of these things as she sat, rocking in her favorite rocking chair, staring out of the window into the stormy night. Clara and Connie had been living, with the chauffeur and several maids, at the home place since their parents were killed in an automobile accident, Then, one night Connie went out and never returned. Since then Clara had become somewhat of a recluse. However, lately she had longed for companionship so she advertised in the papers for a female companion. Just this morning there had been a call from Crestmont, the neighboring town, from a Miss Ellie Henderson. She said that she was interested in the job and asked if she could come for an interview. Clara consented for her to come the next morning at ten o'clock. The next day dawned bright and sunny. The mid-July rain of the night before had biven new life to the flowers and plants which had been drooping from the not rays of the summer sun. Promptly at ten o'clock ellie Henderson arrived at the appointed place for the interview, Hearing a knock at the door, Brigette, the nead maid answered. uHello, I am ellie Henderson and I have an appointment with ll Clara--cr--Miss'Andersom,u announced the v -tor, May I come in?N , nRight this way ma'am,u replied Bribette leading her down the narrow hall into the lisrary, Upon seeing Brigette and the visitor approaching, Clara, who had been reading the internationally famous book,WDr. Lhivagovb arose ana greeted theme nYou must be Miss Henderson, I can't tell you how glad I am to meet you,n said Clara.
