Within an hour of the lad's dis- appearance tht father received a no- ties, printed In capital characters, de- | manding $5,000 and threatening that Frank othorwise would “be sent home dead by parce! post.” The letter gave Ro directions for delivering the ran- som, and Longo cannot understand why a second note has not come. Deputy Police Commissioner Robin sent extra details of Italian detectives to the Macdougal street police station and hus had all the Italian colonies of the city and of Weehawken, where @ clue led last night, searched thor- oughly, but he has found no trace of the boy and the detectives now believe | Frank knew the person who took him | away, clase he never would have gone with him. The youngster was bright for his years and was well acquainted with the kidnapping of his cousin, Giusepp! Lengo, a son of Frank Longo brother, on Nov, 19, 1910. With him went six-yoar-old Michael Risso, and eventually both boys were found and Maria Rappo and Stanilas Patenza were convicted of their kidnapping. The Rappo woman is now in Mattea- wan, and Patenza, getting a new trial, was acquitted. Another cousin, Glovann! Di Fiore, on of Cosimo Di Fiore, a Houston street baker, was missing five weeks im the fall of 1911, so young Longo knew well that bo mustn't talk to strange men or women. That he went off without creating an uproar seems to the detectives proof that he went away with a person well known to the family, and they are working now om this theory. iil INVENTOR EXPLODES MINES IN RIVER BED BY ULTRAVIOLET RAYS Young Italian Engineer Proves Value of Discovery in Rigid Test.

HIS HEROINES ARE BY NO MEANS “TEA-POURERS.” “But really, Mr. Comfort,” I inter- vened, “don’t you carry your idealism too far where women are concerned? To me your heroines have always seemed the most impossible part of your work.” “Many have found my dream-gir! too much of a spirit and too little of a tea-pourer,” he admitted. “Many have @ald to me: ‘Women want worldly things, just as men do—per- haps more. “Life hi not shown me thie; the courage which a myriad mothers use daily, nor the self- aness.

She is a man-made creature, in whom is buried a woman. She is ignorance and effrontery incarnate. “But, again, we are deep in the vangs of transition which shall bring better days, There ia that in woman, | though latent so long, though missing for generations, which the lies of a man’s world have proved unable to destroy, ‘A few years ago I met eeveral women," Mr, Comfort added dream- ily, “to whom I talked my beliefs, ch as they are, the things I had won after long years of struggle.

So he continued earnestly: WOMEN SHOULD PROPOSE, HE BELIEVES. “Instead of laughing at a woman's intuition we ought to respect it above all things, It is surer than the work- Ings of the brain, and much more im- portant.” “Just how will women bring the new romance into being?” I asked, re- turning to our original topic and at once eliciting the fact that Mr. Com- fort is in favor of the feminine pro- posal.
