New York, June 2.-Failure to find

Of Miss Ethel Belle Appel, a young
illustrator, we'll known in art circles
in this city, has revealed q mystery
which began with her disappearance ten
days ago.
Miss Appel comes from prominent
Pennsylvania family and is cousin Of
Miss Margaret Louise Magee of Pitts
burg, whose marriage to Baron Franz
Riedel Won Riedou Of the Austrian le-
cation, will be celebrated in June.
: Miss Appel left the studio at noon
Saturday, May 10, accompanied by Miss
Gear, fellow artist. They visited sew
eral stores and Miss Appel left her
friend in. Sixth avenue department
store, saying she was going to her home
in Baldwin, l.. /.
She made her home with her cousin,
Mrs. E. NJ. Jenkins, who received a
telegram Saturday night from Miss Ap-
pei stating that she would not return
to Baldwin on Sunday morning. -
One Of the strange features Of the
case is the fact that a woman who
would not reveal her identity, called
up the studio several times on the tele.
phone and inquired if Miss Appel had
returned Mrs Jenkins fears Miss Ap.
pei has met with serious accident. The
girls father, whose home is in Mead.
