Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 9. Il think
mamma must be held by some one for
ransom. 1t cannot be that she has
done away with herself as some peo-
pie say, because there was no reason
whatever for her taking such a course,

Thus spoke Miss Wallace, the daugh-
ter of Mrs. George Wallace, whose hus-
band, a prominent merchant and poll
tician, died here some two years ago,
leaving the family in good circum-
stances.
On Nov. rs Mrs. Wallace left her
coy home and her six children to go
shopping. Since then her whereabouts
despite the efforts of the police and
friends, have been unknown. She was
about forty years of age, rather pretty,
with dark hair and eyes, and was OF

service on the part of the soldier. Let
