MYSTERY OF A MISSING GIRL.

' ‘ -Paris, December 18. "\A Magistrate i>f Macon, ■whose daughter recently disappeared, was yesterday informed that she was detained in a Trappist convent, in the suburbs of the town. Accompanied by a Police Magistrate and three detectives, he went to the convent, but was refused admission. The Police Magistrate displayed his fcri-colonr scarf, and demanded in vain in the name of the law that the door should be opened. Eventually, the police scaled a wall and broke into the building. Fifty nuns with covered faces barred their way, and refused to speak. The Magistrate declared that if they did not show their faces force would be used. The nuns "then removed their hoods, hnt declined to make any statement about the missing girl or anything else. The police searched every part of the convent without results. They have now' discovered that the girl had been sent to another convent near Geneva. The Trappist orders are under vows to maintain perpetual silence.
