When the story and picture of the man of mystery appeared in The Sun day American it was read by these three young women, each of whom was busily engaged in making elabo rate preparatians for her “wedding" to “Mr. Louis Alexander,” of Thelma, Fla. which he claimed as his right rame, One of the women was to be married to Alexander at 11 wo'clock Sunday morning, another at 8 o'clock ir. the afternoon, and the third at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Great, then, was the consterngtion wrought in the three femimine ‘hearts when each of the fiancees recognized in The Sunday American a picture of “Mr. Mack"—the man who ‘two months ago had lost his name and all knowledge of himself—the pame ar dent wooer who 'had won their hearts and hands. ! Three Fiancees Ask ‘Aid. “The three women ‘mmmediately fled to Dr. Horace Grant, to whom the siranger of the famtastic “lost iden tity"” story had appealed for aid in finding himself, and who was looking after him until his story could be in- vestigated. v In the meantime “Mr. Mack"—as he had dubbed himself, he said, for con venience's sake—had vanished. He had decided, after finding The Geeor glan had given his story to the pub- Jdic, that he had not lost hig identity in Atlanta after all, and had best seed it ¢lsewhere.

The postmark was so indistinct that the train on which it was maited could not be dis tinguished. “l am en my way to Birmingham 'to try and find myself,” was the sole ex planation of his hurried departure. @n learning the story of the trio of disappeinted widows, Dr. Grant com municated with the police and put de teotives on the trail of the fleeing stranger. Thinking also that the Birmingham story might be a “blind"” to throw the authorities off the track, Dr. Grant sent telegrams to other cities. : One Widow Would Sheet Him. «“rMr. Mack” will find now that the police are &s anxious to find his #den ‘tity as he is himself. . The first of the three women to he giege Dr. Grant for information of the memoryless man Wwas exceedingly wrathy and made no effort to con ceal her indignation. : “Pall me where he is, doctor— please tell me—l'd just like to shoot ‘him, that's all,” she exclaimed. Another was egually as joyful over ‘the exposure and said she was glad it all happened before she took a chance at marrying him. “AIN'T want now is to get my pho tographs,”’ she said “Geoed.gracioms, 1 can’t bear to have that man carry ::imy pictures about over the eoun- - . . - Commits Suicide 10 Days After His Chum YAZOO CITY, MISS., June 15.—0 G.
