"I told her I should have to speak to her mother about It," said Mrs. Caswell, "and she said that her mother was going to be at the dressmaker's all that afternoon and the next day, so I did not telephone to her mother, as I intended. The girl left the building as light- hearted and contented as usual, ana went to her grandmother's on Scarff street, where she took luncheons every dav. Mrs. Caswell happened to De walking along Twenty-third street about 1:30 o'clock, and she saw Mario on the opposite aide.

On taking a second look the sirl had disappeared. and had nrobably turned into St. James "Park. Several of the babies of the neigh borhood were out for an airing, under care of their nurses, rolling along in their perambulators on the sidewalk of St. James Park.

Marie, as was alter ward learned, stopped and frolicked with the little ones, and made tnem laugh and coo with delight, passing on when the play seemed to tire them. Tho girl was seen later walking on through Chester Place, and then on West Adams street by people who knew her. There the trail seems to end, and nothing further has been traced. When Marie failed to reach home Tuesday evening her mother called up Mrs. Caswell to see if by any chance she had remained at school.

The grandmother, who was consulted said that she came to luncheon as usual, but ate nothing, and went away in a few minutes. "She has not eaten anything for four days," the mother said, "and has complained of a severe pain In the back of her neck. As Marie Is a normally healthy girl, no great significance was attached to the fact. However, she is known among her associates as a "very queer girl." She often said queer things which her fellow pupils could not understand, and for this reason she had no intimate friends. A sort of spiritualistic streak sometimes showed itself In her mental processes and in her remarks.

"Of course, it is easy for me to be good," she said to her girl acquaintances several times, "because I came straight down from heaven." No theory advanced by any one connects her actions with a sweetheart, or love affair of any kind, as she is childish in thought, as well as appearance.
