Lone Rock. May 1l-As yet there 10
no solution to the mystery that has
aroused the entire populace OF this
section. It concerns the disappearance
Of the thirty-months old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh NARROW.
There has not been q place where
a child could have secreted itself with
in reasonable range Of the home which
has not been examined. Hundreds OF
people have Joined in this search hop
ing to discover something that would
In some measure appease the grief Of
the frantic parents. Barns, wells.
stacks, vaults. all have been searched
thoroughly but they have given no
solution. The only clue. II that may
50 be. was the footprint Of child in
the road near the home. This was
covered with box SO that 1t will not
be obliterated.
Hounds Lose Scent.
Hounds were sent for from Spring
field, Ill. They were given scent OF
the clothing and would bound away
as far as the road. turn their heads
skyward and bark frantical1y. Several
times this was repeated. At the time
this test was made some nifty auto
mobiles were on the grounds. The
dogs were taken to all these machines
and they shifted around but were un-
able to get any traces. The hounds
were then brought into the towns and
given, scent Of the automobiles there
but nothing developed. So far as kid
naping is concerned there seems no
probability OF this for there are two
more children in the family and there
is no occasion for anything Of this
kind to occur. There are some leaves
near the road where the footprint was
discovered and 1t is thought that they
are discolored, possibly with blood
marks and these are being examined
The theory that the child was acct
dentally killed and an effort made to
cover 1t up. is daily gaining credence

Horses, coIors and Prices.

The color of a horse has a consid-
cradle effect on the price of carriage
horses in America. at least in the east
ern states. Horse dealers say that
since the introduction of motors this
color prejudice has become more mark
ed. Brown is said to be the favorite
color, though it is run hard by bay
and chestnut is mol far behind. Black
horses are very unpopular. They are
too much associated, with funerals. or
course the prejudice against black does
not affect horses bred for business pur-
poses. Last of all in the public est
nation come the horses which gradu'
ate in color from dapple gray to milk
white. The whittier the horse the more
difficult 1t is to sell. The reason CIV
en- is that the hairs Of white horses
when they are shed show up on clothes
and on the cloth upholstery of car
riages. 1t is more likely to be explain
ed by tradition or superstition.-Man
