Among the periodic waves which
strike our great centers there is
none so strange as that of mysteri-
Gus disappearances Such a wave
selects its victims from all classes,
ages. Men, women and children are
impartially its prey. Sometimes the
absentees return in a dazed condi-
ton unable to tell of their where
abouts. Others present mystery
darker still, for they never return
and are no more heard of. Foul
play, a crazed fever for wandering,
premeditated flight, are called to ae-
count as causes, but some Of these
mysteries have neither apparent
cause nor end. 1t is queer and
weird feature OF orr modern life
chat these mysterious disappear
ances can so easily take place and
their subjects be neither traced nor
recovered in spite of our crowded
civilization. But perhaps it is be-
cause Of it.
