PEOPLE WHO DISAPPEAR.
Love Affairs and Family Difference

Love Affairs and Family Differences
often the Reason.
women do not disappear as much as
men, said Mr.. Hartley, an information
al detective, who was interviewed in
reference to a mysterious disappear
anee which is now attracting much
public attention. says the London
Graphic.
When a woman goes it is usually a
love affair. Either the parents object
to the man, or there Is some other
cause And 1t is important to remem-
Der what cunning schemers women can
be. Even quite young girls may be
wonderfully clever in keeping things
from their parents. During the course
of my work l am very skeptical Of
women for this reason. A girl might
arrange for her lover or some one sent
by him to meet her, and 1t would be
very simple matter lor her to give her
friends the slip in a crowded street.
OF course very often we get cases of
sudden loss of memory happening to
people who are in the best of health
and spirits, but one rarely finds this
occur to a young girl, and where the
tendency does exist the family or
friends usually know of it and keep
watch accordingly. Again, 1t Is pos
sible a girl does not like the prospect
of going home after she has been away
for holiday, and some one with whom
she was in touch might assist her in
carrying out G plan of her own
Disappearance are very common
not only in London, but In Paris and
New York, but the public seldom hear
of them. Not only girls, but old men
and others disappear Generally these
are not cases of kidnapping ; they had to
do with family or business matters and
as the families as a rule do not wish
the police to know the circumstances
they employed private detectives Thus
the outside world does not get to know
of half of the disappearance and their
causes
Crime sometimes enters into these
sudden disappearance. A cool head
ed man of the world who has commit
ted theft or felony either in business
or private life win take it into his head
to disappear and make a fresh start
in life somewhere else. A few years
ago a gentleman whose family was
high In the social world vanished He
had been suspected of robbing his
brother-in-law during period of pres
sure in the latter's business. The vic
tim knew that If he informed the no
lice his brother-in-law would stand In
danger of being prosecuted, so he haad-
ed the case over to me. 1t was proved
that the man had actually been rob
bling him right and left. but for the
sake of his wife he was allowed-and
even assisted-to disappear.
"A husband walked out OF his fiat In
Marylebone one day and was not
heard of. His wife searched for three
months herself. then came to me- She
knew her husband could not have en-
dured hardship or adventure. because
he was physically unable TO do much
for himself. 1t was a troublesome
case. hut eventually I found the hus-
band in nursing home. What had
happened was that the mans parents
were strict living people. who did not
go to the theater and did not drink
stout They did not think their sons

enough for him. and they chose this

No woman can have bright eyes,
beautiful skin, or an elastic step il she
does not supply her lung with oxygen.
She can do this by deep bresthing.
The indolent woman regains her lost
energy when she learns how to breathe
correctly. The sallow girl, with the
dark circles under her eyes, discovers
that with correct breathing the con-
gested veins will yield TO the stimu-
lated circulation, the dark rings dis
appear, and the lustre reappear in the
eyes. Deep breathing will help TO make
curves where there are angles, and it
is a potent factor in the cure of ema-
citation, because it supplies oxygen to
the wasted tissues. and sets the ma
chinery of the vital organs going.

Never boast that you can dress in FIVE
minutes. No woman who has any re
spect for her appearance will attempt
to dress in double that time. 1t is true
in dressing. as in everything else, that
where there is great haste there is lit
tie speed. 1t is particularly trying for
any woman to dress in hurry. She
gets fiurried and in her attempt to put
in pins sticks her fingers and probably

ready she is conscious of appearing her
worst instead of at her best. The FIVE
minute dressing habit is one that the
carefully dressed woman will never in
dulge in.

Saturday afternoon Santa Cruz

heavy rain storm, which caused
several washouts on the road be-

were reported one washout between
Patagonia and Sonota, another
between Patagonia and Calabasas,
and third between Nogales and
Calabasas, while in several places
sand was washed over the track,
rendering it impossible until
shoveled off. The track was not
cleared until Sunday morning and
the train due from Tucson Satur-
day night at 8 O'Clock did not ar
rive until 8 o'clock the following
morning. To give the train crew
the needed rest they remained at
Nogales until nearly 6 o'clock at
evening, and the passengers going
north had to await until that time.
AS a consequence the excursion of
