FOUND DEAD.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

BODY IN THE THAMES.

POLICE PURSUE INQUIRIES,

Dozens of anxious fathers and mothers of missing girls visited Battersea mortuary, London, to look at the body of a beautiful, smartly-dressed, 25-year-old girl. Not one was able to identify her.

The girl was found dead in the Thames. Who is she, and how did she die ?

Police are pursuing their inquiries. Appearance of the girl leads them to believe that she is of a different type from those usually dead in such circumstances.

They are certain that somebody could come forward and identify her. but refuses to do so. There are unusual marks on the body,

One is a small, circular scar on her chest, about IJin across, which w-a-s probably left by a minor operation.

And there are live vaccinaton marks on the right arm, instead of, as is normal, on the left.

Only one tooth is missing—from the left lower jaw. The rest of the set is good and even.

Officii! 1 description of the girl is: 2-'> years old. oft Gin in height, fresh complexion. light brown hair, grey eyes, well built, full-faced, dressed in a black cloth coat trimmed with brown fur. black frock, brown silk stockings and black, laced shoes.
