 Little did she dream how soon such a develop ment was to occur-Or the sinister situation into which it was to plunge them.
 It was shotly after eight o'clock the next morning when the final inkling of the startling mystery, which was soon to claim the attention of the entire city, first ob- truded itself into the usu- ally well ordered routine of life at the Grand Hotel. This was nothing less than the fact that the occupant of Suite No. 124 had dis appeared as thoroughly as though the earth had opened suddenly and swal- lowed him bodily. Such a situation would have been sufficiently unquieting had the central figure of the mystery been an ordinary parsonage, without any in dividual claim on public attention.

NEW LEHIGH
YARDS BLAZE
Cars Again Explode in Ter
minal- Believed Work
of Incendiaries.

(By the International News Service.)
New York, Aug. 6.-At another Lehigh
Valley terminal fire believed to have been
of incendiaryy origin. two cars loaded
with tanks of acid which had been res
cued from the Black Tom disaster, ex-
ploded tonight bombarding the neighbor-
hood with chunks of steel.
The fire which resulted in the destruc-
tion of a great many cars of merchan-
disc. occurred in the Claremont Yard.
Testimony of its probable incendiary
character is given by John Hayes, who
was one of the first to see it at about
7:40 p. m. Hayes was in the yard of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey where
he is employed He ran down the track
intending to signal a freight train to
stop in order that the locomotive might
aid in saving property from the fire.
Having no lantern he halted on the
track to tumble for a match. Just then
two men came running from the direction
of the fire.
Have you got any matches?" de-
manded Hayes.
Evidently taking the question as evil
dence of suspicion in connection with the
fire, they declared volubly that they had
no matches, offered to let Hayes search
them and disappeared among the cars.
