Disappearance Is PuzzIing

Tula. Russia. November 12-The mys- terious disappearance of Count Leo Tolstoi, the Russian novelist and social reformer, has made painful impress sion. That he should desire to spend the evening of his days in solitude sur prises no one acquainted with his vlcissitudnous career, but that he should deliberately desert the wife who had borne him nine children is diff hcult to believe even in the light Of his well known eccentricities of char acter.
 The suggestion of falling mental ity is accepted by many In explanation by the counts sudden leave taking g, which may have a tragic sequel, as the countess is prostrated. It has been re- ported even that she has attempted her life.
 The family was without a clue to- day. In letter left for his wife the count said
 T cannot continue longer to live surrounded by luxury and, like many other old men, I retire from the world to complete my life in solitude.
 q ask that you do not seek my place of sojourn and that you do not come to 1t, if 1t is discovered. I beg for giveness for the grief that I may cause you"
 The novelist's reference to living and luxurious surroundings Is significant of his state of mind, as he has long lived the life of a peasant While his fam fly occupied a substantial mansion on the Yasnaya Poliana estate, Ts lstoi lived in a peasants hut, partaking only of the simple peasant foods and wearing the peasants costume. He has not always continued this humble mode of life, but 1t has been his choice.
 The first news of Tolstois disappear ance came from Prince Dmitri Obolensky who says that the count left his home several days ago. accompanied by Dr, Makovetsky, his physician. That the doc tor should be a party to the affair is an- other inexplicable feature Makovetsky became the companion of the count 1T l succession to the latter's private secre- tary, M Guzoff, whom the government exiled to Siberia, alleging that he had m, fuenced Tolstoi's anti-governmenta l writings.
 Tolstoi has been in Ill health for som' | time He suffered frequent fainting speils and on October IS was unconscious fol hours. Later 1t was reported that he hac improved somewhat.
 + is believed that Tolstoi proceeded to an old monastery in the government | of Koluga, which joins the governmen l of Tula on the west. He was last seer here when he took a train on last Thurs dav on the Kiausani railroad. This roaC r1,ns west through the capital of Kaluga which Is about 50 miles from Tula.
 Prince Obolenskys telegram or yester day stated that Tolstoi left his home or october 10. This is obviously erroneous as inc count was i'll at his home on Oc tober IS. Today's dispatch from Tul' states that the author was last seer there when he took a train on Novembe 10 This is more likely correct.

PUTTING OUT A FIRE

Talladega, November 12.-(Special.)- Several small fires have occurred re- cently without much loss to owners but the fire department has been called out every day this week. Yesterday the department responded to an alarm, and after a quick run they found smoke pouring in dense volumes from a small frame house. They immediately poured a stream of water into the midst of the smoke, thereby deluging a group of innocent workmen who had lighted fire in stove and stuck the pipe just outside of the weather boarding, caus- ing the house to look like 1t was afire. The joke Is on the fire department.
