Another mystery creeps Into the lime light. Whero Is Wolf? Is ho another nrch consplrator? He Is of Teuton strain. Wolf has been ln this country about three years. Ho came over at the outbreak of the European war. Wolf lived a life of case, surrounded with luxury. He was admired by all who knew him. He is of a striking appearance. I Right In the- midst of the many exposures Wolf disappeared. To be exact It was last Monday afternoon. "Nary hide nor hair of him" has been seen since that time. "Looks mighty suspicious," Quoth one of the many amateur Investigators who has been endeavoring to force his analytical and deductive mind at tho disposal of Frank Garbarlno, the special agent of the Depart ment of Justice "Simple matter. Put two and two to gether," nonchalantly added the civilian sleuth. Still the matter Is unsolved. Wolf left his home. Nobody saw him depart. Iia was without a collar. That may prove to bo a clue. His hair is slightly streaked with gray. Tho matter Is serious. A suit able reward is offered for information con cerning tho whereabouts of Wolf, Wolf Is a German police dog, or In other words a GeVman wolf hound. Ho is the pet of Mrs. Samuel Humphrey, cf 63D1 Overbrook avenue. Just before the war, Mrs. Humphrey and her daughter Adele were abroad.

The land of freedom apparently nppealed to Wolf, Likewise the magnificent resi dences In Overbrook and the many caresses he received. Life was one grand song of tranquillity and luxurious ease. Motoring Was one of Wolf's favorite pastimes. He al ways occupied a position on the folded top of the large touring car of the Humphrey residence Th dog is tan and streaked with gray, His departure has caused great regret In the Humphrey household. Wolf Is sorely missed. "Movies" as Preparedness Aids NEW YORK, March 16.

"I may ns well tell you the worst I nm going to Icavo Peter! I've thought about It for n long time." "Going to leave Peter! Going to Icavo Peter'" Hery accent of oIco and manner was Italicized and capitalized. "Yes," firmly, though Dora's lips quiv ered so sho could hardly rontrol them. "Then I'ctcr did object to tho hat or the hill. I'vo nlways wondered a little, Dora, If Peter were qulto ns much of a saint as you havo made him dut. My poor child!" Mrs. Mndlson ns sho collapsed Into a chair looked woebegone. ''Peter Is just as much of a saint as I ever made him seem to be," Dora returned. "I wish to goodness ho wasn't," sho asserted with heat, "Peter's too good! When I showed him that hat what do j'ou think ho Wild?" "Ho said It wns a fearful extravagance and gaudy In color," Mrs. Mndlson returned virtuously, "Tlint shows Just how little you know I eter. What ho did say was this: 'Why, "ora, how pretty you look.

And when I told hint the price expecting to seo his Jaw droop and his eyes bulge, he laughed yes, laughed and said; Well, thats more like It that Is moro llko tho things I want you to have.'" "And you're going to leao Peter for that? Mrs. Madison nsked slowly. "And whero aro you going, and what aro you going to do, after you leavo Petcr7" "I hao It all llxed up. I can work enough to earn my HUng. I do work right along, nil the time, nnd such work ns I do Is really worth money remuneration, and I can be myself, and not bo subject to any one, especially any one's goodness'" "That's quite true. You wouldn't be bored by that much," Mrs, Mndlson said decisively. "Hut thero must bo other rea sons which enter into this." "Well, mother, I'll tell you. You'll havo to know, anyway, so I may as well tell, I'm tired of Peter I don't ilko nny of his ways; they ate all obnoxious to me. I don't llko the way his hair curls up at tho base of his head. I hato that llttlo wave on his forehead. 1 dlsllko tho color of his neck ties. Ills clothes or always so neat. I don't llko that and he will put a glngersnnp Into his eoffeo to moisten It!" "I wonder, Just about how a lawyer nnd a Judgo In a divorce court would look on such awful misdemeanors," Mrs. Madison mused softly "As to that last and nwful charge about tho glngersnap, you could easily eliminate that by eliminating the glngersnap from your menu." "Why, so I could." sho said qulto sanely. "I never thought of that." "You're tired, that's wnat's tho matter," Mrs. Madison returned. "I'm perfectly well.

No matter what your figure, you should frtew Wonderlift, ns much as I should llko to do and I ofton find myself rubbing or dusting something that doesn't need It." UWell, Dora, I suppose you will admit that I am some, older than you nre." "Oh, yes, but then human life and expe rience don't count so much. It Js the dull ness of It. Now, father he's new and dlf fercnt all lho time. Ho nlways has a pleasant word and a Joke.or something. But Just goodness, placid, unruffled I I wish Peter had somo faults. They'd be fascinat ing." "Does Mrs. Hodges find her husband's faults fascinating?" "N bled. ndmltted Dora, curiously trou- "Neither docs any woman. As for your father's facetlousness nnd dirferentness why. they almost drive me mad sometimes." Mrs. Madison spoke with conviction. "Mother I" gasped Dora. "Why, I thought you and father " "wen, we do. We get along fine. I didn't go away by myself and If lib didn't we'd simply pall on each ether. Now that's Just what tho matter here.
