the yard and took smoke. He had
been out there some time, when some
one asked for him. They went in
search of him and he had gone ont, by
way OF the alley. Nothing was thought
a. the time, but when night came, he
fai ed to put in an appearance In.
Quily was made but 10 one had seen
him. Days passed and still be did not
come Mrs. Fischer thought for a few
days, that he had probably gone on q
spree. AT the expiration of a week she
began TO think that al, was not right
and made inquiries concerning him.
His friends at the Iron Works came in
TO ask for him, and were surprised to
learn he had disappeared.
Three weeks have passed and net q
clew has been found as to his wherea-
bouts, aud his disappearauc co is shrouded
in mystery. When ha left his hoard
ing house, he was dressed in dark
clothes, had on u slouched hat and a
new pair of boots. He is about 81 or 40
years OF age, short In stature. but heavi-
~ bailt is dark complrxioned and
had very heavy black beard all over
his face. He left all his clothes, except
what he had on, at his boarding house
His chess Of Tools sill remain at Edge
Moor, and there is about $40 due hi
by the firm. he has always conducted
himself in a gentlcmanly manner, but
would occasionally - of on little
spree. He had paid his board when he
received his money al the last pay day,
and only owes for a short tiTe. Any
ioiormation as TO his whereabouts will
be thankfully received hy Mrs. Fischer.
P.cvious TO his coming to this city, he
had been travelling tnrough the West.

ft lily white with the horror OF those dreadful
nights.
There was one woman from Philadelphia,
whose name we will not mention, and who rode
all the way between Omaha and Chicago in our
car. Almost the first thing when we started
out Of Omaha, she began to make advances

She also asked us for Our knife TO peel an

These things look small and Insignificant,
OF vital Importance.
That evening we saw with horror that the
woman's section was adjoining our own.
We asked the conductor If this could not be
changed; but he laughed coldly. and told us to
soak our head, or some such unfeeling remark.
That is one bad feature OF the present system.
A man travelling alone gets no sympathy or
assistance from the conductor.
1t would be impossible to describe the horror
and apprehension OF that awful night. All
through its vigils we suffered on till near morn

a troubled sleep.
There we lay, fair and beautiful In the soft
