Dashing Mrs. Adelaide Mayne
Has Disappeared From
the City,
And With Her Has Gone Hen

It Is Believed They Have
Quietly Levanted Off to
Chicago. y
A Story That Perhaps It Was
Her Body Seen in the :.
River. IS

Mount Airy mourns. No cyclonic dis
turbance has devastated the hilltop;
there is no Grape Oh any of the doors in
the vicinity OF Torrent street, yet
Mount Airy weeps. Nine. Adelaide
Wayne, beautiful. highly educated, ac-
eomplished. widow. has disappeared
from the locality with a suddenness
surprising in lady of her sedate dispo-
sition. and appalling to her mother,
Mrs. Kavanagh, with whom she re-,
sided. Left as a legacy to the care of
the elder lady is bright little boy FIVE
years old, and Mrs. Mayne's entire
wardrobe. The many accomplishments
and charmingly even disposition of the
young widow made her extremely pop
uIar with awideeircle of aequaintanceS.
She sang divineIy, smiled bewitching-
ly, had read all the poets and
was never at loss no matter what the
topic of conversation for brilliant retort
or repartee. Moreover, she was the eS-
sence of culture and propriety, and
seemed thoroughly devoted to the child
who now asks plaintively at intervals
all through the day and night, "W here
is mamma? Oh, where did my mamma
go to-" I title wonder, then, that the
neighbors idolized the charming widow.
OF that HenryFriedland- youth boast
ing of his Anglican birth, despite his
Hebraic cast OF feature and the sus-
pieiOn of an accent not English i'll his
speech-little wonder that he fell a-Woo-
ing after brief acquaintance with the
belle Of Mount Airy, and laid
a VII nor,y EnnIict and hic
salary of fifty dollars a month at her
dainty feet. Young FriedIand was I'M
Til recently employed by Habighorst IL
Co., East Seventh street. He was win
dow trimmer Tor the firm. He first met
Mrs. Mayne five months ago, when he
became a boarder at the Kavanagh resi-.
dence. The story goes that his offers of
marriage and promises Of lifelong devo-
ton had been steadily ignored by the
object of his alteration. At all events,
a week ago FriedIand left his employ
ment and prevailed Oh Mrs. Mayne to
go with him for ride to Lake Gervais,
and there endeth the first lesson.
The residents on the mountain top
now speculate, gossip and wonder.
The little birds twitter noisily about
the window from which the widow was;
wont to drop dainty morseIs for their
enjoyment. The window is closed, the
blind is down. and no one seems now
to care what the diekey birds say.
Since that lovely afternoon On which
the widow and her escort went Oh a.
trip to the scene of the Gervals cyclone
neither of them has been seen or heard
OF. Murder and suicide" says some
body. "BloOdy tragedy in the copSe at
Gervais; red-handed murderer escaping
t,.h ttrxy clnftab ha
pulled down over his eyes and dagger
in his clenehed fish," and hundred
other conjectures as thrilling are to
be heard i'll connection with the
joint disappearance. The fact that the
body of woman floated down the river
day OF two ago and was not recovered.
adds to the fears of the highly magma
tive and impreSSionable. A more prob
able picture, however, is presented IN
the thought of a quiet Httlewedding at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Wurt-
hefnIer on Walther street, Chicago.
With these people Friediand was in
constant communication. do you
think Friedland has done anything
desperate" was asked of one of his
friends yesterday.
''Oh No." was the reply, s'nothing
more desperate than engaging i'll a we'll
conducted eiopeHfent. Night train to
Chicago, marriage III the morning, tour
up the lake, return III a couple OF weeks,
bless you my children. and there you
are. However," he added, II don't
know anything about it. The general
opinion is that there mas been no trag-
edy, but simply first-eFass elopement. :"
Meanwhile there is loneliness in the
big house ON Mount Airy near L'Orient,
the mother weeps for her missing
daughter, and the baby cries dolefuIlY
Mamma, where is my mamma"
