Slowed away in the archives of po-
lice departments under the head OF
mysterious disappearance" is many a
any penned by writer's of fiction. For
person to suddenly vanish as If
earth had swallowed him up is most
difficult feat. This is the opinion of po-
lice and expert detectives. Yet, despite
this dictum, hundreds of persons drop
out of sight every year What becomes
of these people is mystery few de-
tectives will attempt to explain.
The most notable and inexplicable
case of mysterious disappearance dur
ing the past year was that OF Frank
Ely Rogers, boy of fourteen who dis
appeared from his home in Evanston,
Ill He was accompanied by his aunt,
Miss Florence Ely. Since their disap-
pearance last July all efforts to find
them have been futile.
Until last July Miss Ely had been a
piano teacher in Evanston. She is forty
years old, slender and of delicate ply
sique. Her hair is dark brown. Her
large dark eyes are expressive. Alto
gether she is a handsome gentlewoman
of more than usual intelligence and de-
voted to music. For twenty years she
made her home with her sister, the
wife of James c. Rogers, as did also
her mother, who is heartbroken over
the peculiar action of her daughter.
The family lives on Human avenue,
one of the most beautiful residence
streets of Evanston, short distance
from the campus of the Northwestern
university. Mr.. Rogers is connected
with the mercantile firm of Carson,
Pirie, Scott & Co.. in Chicago, and is
man of ability and some means.
When Frank was born, fourteen
years ago, Miss Ely idolized the baby.
She loved him as if she were his moth
er, and it was her delight to care for
and amuse him AS he grew into boy
hood her affection kept pace with his
growth. The care of the boy took
precedence of all else in her mind.
AS the boy grew older and her alb
sorption in him increased she gave up
nearly all her social duties. She wish
ed to devote her entire time to her
nephew.
On the morning of July 10, Frank
left home ostensibly to attend a picnic
in the woods near town. He said good
by cheerfully to his mother and his
grandmother, the aged Mrs. Ely, and

A Leshorn Fence.

Occasionally a man wishes to con-
fine Leghorns in yard, says writer
In Poultry Monthly Such was my ex-
perience. My pullets flew the fence
a six-foot fence. l then put on two
more feet, and they mounted that 1
then strung wire over it all, but over
the wire they went, balancing them
selves neatly. l consulted a friend,
who said there were only two things
to do; Either clip their wings or put
up a 100-foot fence. They were too
pretty to be mutilated by clipping, and
was not prepared to erect such a
fence. Whereupon l set to thinking,
and devised a scheme which worked
beautifully, and my Leghorns now stay
in the yard, and wings have not been
clipped. put up wire fence four
feet high, and then at an angle of
about As degrees added three feet, in
clined towards the pen. Mistress Hen
stands at about two feet from the base
of the fence, and flies up as straight as
she can, hits her head against the
sloping fence, and comes down dis
couraged. She tries this some half
dozen times day and finally gives
1t up Disguised. The hen is a rather
stupid animal and is unable to reason;
she never thinks to stand off at dis
lance and fly for the top of the slop-
ing fence. l do not remember seeing
this kind of fer" e spoken of in poul-
try books or periodicals. If the scheme
is of any assistance to any one of your
readers, I am glad to give them the
result of my experience.
