starting, having just recovered from nervous prostration, and her girl was frail. They tramped most of the way, she says. except for occasional auto lifts and one short train ride, and travelled Tor 12 weeks in actual time. the remainder of the period since July 23 being passed in resting and work ing along the way.
 Disappeared Saturday Afternoon
 When they arrived here early Sat urday morning they went direct to the postoffice and then to the Y. w. c. A.. where Mrs. Hanlon retired and slept from a. m. until D. m. The girl was observed waiting in the rest room, reading magazines or drumming on the piano, until about ? D. m., when she is said have said something about go- ing for a walk. Mrs. Hanley and the various authorities here have received no reports of her since. Anna May had no luggage, other than what was in her mothers pack, excepting a pair of shoes, and the shoes have not been located since her departure.
 She is about 3 feet tall, 96 pounds weight. of light complexion. blue eyes has short curly hair, and a few ! freckles. She was dressed in a dark green tam-o-shanter with red trim mings, army overcoat, black blouse. black serge skirt. gray sweater, and had both tan and black shoes. It is not known which pair she wore. Her mother says she had no money.
 According to Mrs. Hanley. the child had never danced. is inclined to timid- ity, is eager to see every sight along the road. had expressed a desire to see the Indian School here. Is fond of nov ies. has obseSsions for mathematics and free-hand drawing, is through the grammar grades, has a desire to ride horses, and is in good health, though frail.

 Mrs. Dwight B. Heard acting on behalf of the Red Cross. and Miss Edna H. Porter. on behalf of the Y w. C.

They inves- tigated Mrs. Hanley's affairs fully. partly through the assistance of the Hotel Majestic management and then asked Sheriff J. c. Montgomery to interest himself as actively as pos sibIe
 As the sheriff had no county funds which he felt at liberty to use in the dispatch of tracer telegrams, Mrs Heard guaranteed $10 telegraph bill on behalf of the Red Cross and the sheriff began to spread the drag-net at once. Telegrams were sent to all adjacent cities, within the range that an automobile could have traversed during the time intervening since Sat urday afternoon.
 Mysterious Man Mentioned
 A mysterious man is mentioned in the case. somewhat remotely, but his connection is believed by the authori- ties to offer the only clue toward a solution of the mystery.
 The man and a woman companion whom Mrs. Hanley understod was his wife were in roadside auto camp near a New Mexico town when Mrs. Hanley and her daughter happened along. The four fell into conversa- ton, became friends, and all camped together for few days. Mrs. Hanlev says that she liked the woman but distrusted the man to such an extent that she suddenly determined to leave. On one occasion, she says, the man remarked about how fine an actress little Anna May would make
