I'VE have inquired at all the hos
pitals and they tell US that every pa
tient is accounted for. She may be in
hospital under an assumed name,
but why cannot imagine.
Had she intended to go away, It
would have been just as easy for her
to have packed her clothing and TAX

at the same minute every morning she
started, so regular were her habits.
Somewhere OH the route the girl
met her fate that morning. What was
it!
It was not in a time Of peace. 1t
will be remembered that it was the
day before the trolleymen's strike
ended, when the roughs and hood
lums In various parts of the city
were rioting at every opportunity. 1t
is possible that the girl may have
been rendered insensible during one
of these riots and carried into house
to be revived. There the big roll of
money excited the cupidity Of those

Of good to commissions of evil.
1t would seem that in no other way
could a girl so completely disappear
from view in broad daylight on the
streets of great city.
Why she preferred the cash to the
check when she settled her stock &C
count at the brokers' is one of the
puzzling features of the case. Mrs.
McGrory says that she did not need
the money, as she had a substantial
sum in cash in her purse, besides the
months pay due her at the arsenal.
She is not tyro in finance, and
knows we'll that the check was just
as good as the cash and much safer
and more convenient to handle.

NO TRACE YET Of
!. MISSING BROKER
Girl Who Disappeared After
Receiving Large Sum of
Money Not Found

Philadelphia, June 22.-Money-mad
and desperate kidnappers are being
hunted by the police in an effort to
find Miss Mary E. McGrory of 1919
north Twenty-tlfth street, a clever
Philadelphia woman stock speculator,
who disappeared from home on June
4, with $1,000. cash, her market win
nings, and has. not been. heardsfrom
since. 4'.,: -@ .i
The search for the lost woman, who
seems to have been gobbled up by the
earth, has been en- for more than a
found no clue to her whereabouts and
killed and her body hidden by the
slayers.
Another theory is that the woman
was kidnapped by persons who learn
ed her receiving the large sum of
money the day before she left, knock
ed unconscious, imprisoned in some
deserted house by her captors and
left there, gagged and bound, to die Of
starvation.
Neat and Petite.
Miss McGrory is % years old. She
Is petite, about five feet two inches
tall and weighing about 115 pounds.
Her brown hair is touched with gray,
and not her least attractive feature
is pair of deep blue eyes She is
best described as neat, for neatness
has been her hobby and her dressing
is in perfect good taste When she
left home she wore gray coat suit,
with a tiny green stripe, and mixed
green coarse straw hat.
Her mother died when she was a
child, and her father followed fifteen
years ago. Since then she has made
her home with an aunt, Mrs. Mary
McGrory, with whom she was a great
tavorite.
Plays Stock Market.
A girl of independent views. she
has supported herself by working in
the Schuylkill Arsenal, where she has
been employed for years. She has
dealt in stocks, and generally on the
right side of the market. Only the
dav before her disappearance she
went with another aunt, Mrs. Margery
Lockhard, to her brokers, Winthrop
Smith & company, at Sixth and Chest
nut streets, and received a check for
something like thousand dollars to
close out deal
."It is not easy to cash check of
this size," she said to her companion;
II think l will take the money" And
at her request the brokers handed
her tho cash instead.
They returned home. The next
morning, Friday, June 4, at $50
o'clock, she bade her aunt q CHEEKY
goodbye and started for the arsenal.
She has not been seen since by any
one who knows her.
Wealth in Her Pocket.
In the young woman's pocket was
more than thousand dollars in cash.
She carried no clothing except that
which she wore. She never reached
tho arsenal where a months pay
awaited her, and is still held for her
unclaimed.
When she did not return that night,
her aunt was not particularly alarm
ed, thinking that she had gone, as she
occasionally did, to stay with her
.ster, Mrs. Sarah Monks, 544S Master
street. But on Sunday she saw Mrs.
Monks, and learned that Miss Me-
Grory had not been there. Then she
notified the police, who have been
working Quietly but ineffectively on
the case ever since.
The girl kept no company. She had
no preference for any man, and near
ly all of her friends were of her own
sex. She was of domestic turn Of

FOUND HIS LANDMARK GONE
Trouble That the Moving Of a Trunk
Made for Man Who Was Look
ing for His Room.

The hour one a. m. and all silent

heard muffled note OF a foghorn, the
sound of somebody snoring in one Of
the rooms, and then presently the
sound of somebody moving quietly. al
most stealthily, along the long hall
and then under the breath, spoken in
a low tone:
Devil! Where's that trunk?"
And | knew that trunk he was look
ing for we'll for it had been a land
mark for me too. standing i'm the hall
outside of one OF the rooms. My
room was two doors beyond the trunk
on the right. and always when I
didn't need TO look for my number
my room was two doors further on
and apparently he had been doing the
same thing.
But now the trunk was gone. and in
that long hall there was no landmark
for him, and then heard him moving
about quietly, almost stealthily, in the
dim light scanning the numbers on
the doors. and then l heard him set
a key in a lock and open a door and
go in somewhere and shut the door
behind him, and apparently he had hit
the right room, for then again all was
still save for the occasionally heard
mutied note of that foghorn.

MhistIlnq Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life is
the sofar, or whistling tree of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree it
gives out tluteliRe sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hosrs at
a time strange, weird melodies. 1t is
the spirit OF the dead singing among
the branches, the natives say. but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.

tree, in the driest weather, will rain
down showers from its leaves, and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot OF the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base of the
leaves.
