LONDON, (ifch December.
Agatha Christie, the well-known writer of detective serials, is herself the heroine of a countryside mystery. Bha is 35, tho pretty, popular wife of Col, Archibald Christie, recently in Australia in connection with the Empire Exhibition. Mrs. Christie left her home in Berkshire in a motor-car on. Friday, night, and a gipsy boy found the deserted car in tho morning overhanging a chalkpit in a lonely part of the Surrey Downs. Evidently the car had beett allowed to run down a steep declivity, and it is presumed that the driver wandered over tho dreary downlands nearby. The police and sixty searchers dragged tho lakes and ponds in the vicinity, including the mysterious '' Silent Pool,'' which has sinister memories in local legend, and figured in one of the missing writer's stories. For three days and nights the search has been fruitless, though dogs are employed.
• It is believed that the disappearance is a case of lost memory. ,
