Mask ather iii.

The mother OF Annie Mask, if
teen a old, called at the EVEN
ING NEWS office today and asked
that the newspapers aid be ex-
tended in the search for her daugh-
ter, who has been missing from her
home at 535 Sayre avenue since
Sunday, November II. Previous to
that time Annie had been employed
by O. w. Christian, of LOG High
street, as a house maid, but left
on Wednesday, November Is, giving
no cause whatsoever, Mrs. Christian
states. Annie called Saturday and
secured what money was due her.
According to the mother, Annie's
father is very Ill and that is in re-
ality why the family has resumed
the search for the missing daughter.
The neighbors Of the Mask family
are lending their aid to the distract
ed mother and every effort made to
ascertain the whereabouts Of Annie.
Although the police have not been
asked to assist in the hunt, the par

Is secured within a few days.
Mrs. Mask can give no reason
for her daughters continued abb
sence. She has misgivings for her
child's welfare, however, and is OBJ
viousIy worried. According to the
family, they have no enemies who
would perpetrate such a crime and
many friends, who are intimate with
Mrs. Mask, hint that the comely
child has been lured away. She re-
sided at the Christian home while
in that family's employ.
