Chapter I. THE MAN WHO VANISHED
THE American public gets many of its ideas about what is going on, from the newspapers. Newspapers
sometimes make mistakes, so the public, on occasion, fails entirely to get the true significance of things that
are happening. It was thus in the Jethro Mandebran case.
Maybe it was just as well that the public did not catch on to the true significance of the Jethro Mandebran
affair. A good many heads might have turned gray.

Jethro Mandebran vanished on Sunday afternoon on his private golf course. He knocked his ball into the
rough, which was a patch of woods, and went in after it. That was the last they saw of him. It was utterly
confounding. A swarm of private detectives could find no tracks. Some one finally thought of the old-fashioned
idea of using bloodhounds, but the dogs picked up no trail.

The newspapers broke out their biggest headline type, because Jethro Mandebran, in the staid city of
Philadelphia, amounted to something.
