This man had called at the hotel repeatedly throughout the day to ask if the Youngs had arrived. Mrs. Young and her son held 2 hurried consultation with the man the moment they arrived in the hotel. Then they took a cab and were driven to the hotel where Mrs. Dieterich is stopping. : When Mrs. Young and her son returned to the Ritz it was past 4 o'clock, The man who had accompanied them to Mrs. Dieterich was not with them. Both Mrs. Young and her son Lewis seemed greatly agitated. “Have you seen your sister?’” Mr. Young was asked: “1 haven't time to talk,” he replied, and he hurried to his room. “What have you learned about your daughter?” Mrs, Young ‘was asked, “It is now past midnight and 1 am too tired to talk with’ any one,” was the answer, and she, too, went to her room.
