R, Hoffâ€" man family of 318 Ravine drive, for twelve years, has been missing from his home since Feb. 14. Memâ€" bers of the family are much disâ€" tressed over his departure as he has been a pet in the household for so many years. Feb. 14, 1926, St. Valentine‘s day, was the date of Duke‘s comâ€" ing to the Hoffmans, when they lived in Chicago. By a strange coinâ€" cidence, he disappeared on Feb. 14, 1938, just twelve years later. Unfortunately the dog was not wearing his collar with license plate attached when he left home so that identification is difficult. ‘The family are hopeful for his reâ€" turn and trust that he is in some warm retreat, and will soon be scratching at their front door.
