Mrs Sarah Smith, the postmistress at

mo AZ No. sos Washington Boulevard.
Ehicaeo who was greatly interested in
NO newspapers articles telling of the mys-
tarious disappearance of the aged woman.
Mrs Brewer was a widow, 20 years Old
With her lived two sons, Burton and Ju-
Inns middle-aged men. The harmony in the
farni1v seemed to be disturbed by the
presence of Miss Kellogg, the housekeeper.
who although 70 years old, dresses like
vounc girl; and, it is said, intended To
marry Julius if she couldn't any rate,
his mother thought So and grieved.
After a family quarrel of great violence
Mrs Brewer vanished. Ihe matter was
not mentioned for several days. A visi or
who came to the house raised the alarm.
The story told by the men was that their
mother must have wandered off n the
night. wearing little but night dress
They said they supposed she had perish
ed in the swamp.
For weeks the country folk searched the
ewamps and mountains, helped by keen
scented hounds trying to discover the
clew to a tragedy or a crime. They ira
yersed every foot of land within a radius
Of miles but found nothing. Gradually
they forgot the matter.
Young Smith of Chicago is a great be-
lever in spiritualism and second sight. He
never takes an important step in life with
out consulting some mystic seer in whom
he has faith. He knew the scene of the
mystery.
There is man here who can find the
body" he wrote to his mother, the post
mistress: He is infallible. His name is
DR.. canaan and he is a clairvoyant,
have tested his work.
wanted Woman's Photograph.
Send me a photograph of Mrs. Brewer
and one of her handkerchiefs. Write me,
too her full name and age and all the
facts YOU can learn about her going
away
The postmistress secured the articles
and sent them to her son. The neighbors
were told that the services of a great
Western clarvoyant and been enlisted, but
they paid very little attention 10 the news,
because innumerable fortune tellers and
mediums had tried to solve the matter
but had done nothing beyond collecting
their fees Some of them said that MRS
Brewer was alive and well in a distant
stale others that she had gone on long
journey.
A letter came from Chicago last Thurs
day Ii was from Smith to his mother
and told an odd story of his experience
with the clairvoyant.
The first day I called on DR. Zanzan'
he wrote in effect, 'he was not feeling
we'll and so our investigations were post
poned until the next day, when l again
visited him at his office.
This time he was all right and the
forces were working. He said he felt
sure hat he could find Mrs. Brewer, dead
or alive, as he had often located missing
people
He made me write on a sheet of fools
cap Mrs Brewers full name and the date
Of her birth This he carefully folded in
thin sheet of copper and held against
his forehead
Now. tell me again. said he, the
story of that poor woman's disappearance;
tell me how the cottage looks in which
she lived.
81 described the place as best I could
and he went into a sort of trance Then
suddenly he jumped up and cried:
No foul play Will find her one and
half miles due west; across a little
bridge past a white house; over a stone
wall, thirty or forty yards from a brook
laoe downward in a pool of water "
The letter was handed to julius Brewer
on Sunday morning, and he started out
N quest of his mothers body. He knew
me locality from the clairvoyants de-
Serlption. He walked a mile and half
west crossed the bridge, passed the white
mouse and climbed the stone wall
lie passed on to the frozen swamp
There was something round like a head
sucking from the mire and near it what
fesemoed a knee. 1t was the corpse of
his mother
The villagers thought that the body had
o''n put there lately. Some of them de-
N7red that during the search they passed
over that very spot with dogs, but the
gody wHs not there, they were sure. The
Inscription given by the clarvoyant told
'Wnere the body was, that the face was
uU1WhWard, just as it was found, and said:
NO foul play" Could there be any doubt
""" mat the strange DR.. Zanzan was
