Left for Parts Unknown.
Alone in the northern part of this city
lives man who yearns for his family. A
week ago wife and two children bright
ened home that is now desolate without
them. Last Friday, Mrs. Blank, as she
will at present be called, took the children
on shopping tour; they may be shop
ping yet, for the husband has not seen
them. Careful investigation shows that
the wife purchased railroad ticket to
Lowell, but more than that nothing Is
known Of her.
Once before Mr.. Blank suffered from
like experience. He lived then In Lowell,
and Mrs. b. took sudden departure and was
found I'm Pawtucket. Under the crcum-
stances and supposing this to be the wife's
favorite place for residence, the family was
moved here, but now Lowell is In the as
tendency. 1t appears to be case of being
happy with either, were the male contin-
gent away.
