1t was Thursday evening and Mr..
Doddleby was calling on Miss Harmer.
That had been Mr.. Doddleby's invari-
able custom for at least four months
and Miss Harmer had begun TO look
upon Mr.. Doddleby in the light OF d
serious proposition. Mr.. Doddleby was
no longer in youths springtime. and.
therefore. Miss Harmer. who certain
ly could be counted in that class. had
made careful inquiries about his bank
account. ascertaining that his rating
was AAl and had resigned herself to
a pleasant fate. says the Chicago
Chronicle. IN this particular Thurs
day evening Mr.. Doddleby had made a
remark about the monotony Of the

"Oh. it will go all right" said Miss
Harmsr rsassuringly, and at that mo-
ment 1t did. Mr.. Doddleby's feet went
with 1t and he clutched the young
woman desperately and saved himself.
Come out OF the ice.' said Miss
Harmer. Keep hold o; my arm and
you will be all right. Now, then,

She dropped Mr.. Doddleby's arm
and struck on. Before she had gone

that his feet were slowly but surely

were not so bad, but when he let him

his alarm that he was like a runaway

himself nor steer. Dead ahead of him

STOLE A MAIL SACK.
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
RoBsERiEs EVER REPORTED
IN CHICAGO.
Thief UnIocks Door Of Mail Wagon.
Removes Registered Mail Pouch
Worth Seventeen Hundred Dollars,
Closes Door and Decamps In
Broad Daylight and On Busy
~Thoroughfare.

Chicago March, 17.-One Of the
most daring of recent Chicago post
Office thefts, committed in a crowded
downtown street. is now engaging the
attention OF local government Off
Gals. Some one, by a of a dup
liCate key, opened a mail wagon at
o'clock in the evening and extracted
a registered mail sack. The contents
Of the pouch are estimated to be OF
the value of $1,000.
The fact that this wagon VAS chosen
just at the time when its load was
heaviest leads the %postoffice inspec'
tors to believe that the guilty per
son either was a postal employee OF
was operating under the direction of
such employe The familiarity with
the work in hand is taken as evi.
dence that the deed was well planned
and that the man who took the sack
knew just which one to select.
The robbery was committed in front
of the Masonic temple in State street
as thousands were passing on their
way home.
Driver E. A. Hannum, who was in
charge of the wagon, went into the 70.
tunda of the temple substation to take
up the registered mail sack there. He
was absent only five minutes, but
when he returned he found the lock of
his wagon open and hanging in the
staple. A few minutes before he had
picked up a mail sack at the stock ex-
change station, and says he remem-
bers distinctly that he snapped the
lock.
Hannum missed the registered pouch
at once and jumped on his wagon and
drove to the p~ostofice, where he re-
ported the loss to Night Superintend-
ent McGrew. That was on Wednesday
evening during the Randolph street
fire. Yesterday morning Postmaster
Coyne was notified, and he in turn
communicated the facts to the officers
of the postal inspectors office.
This robbery is one Of the boldest
| have eve heard Of" said Postmaster
Coyne. Here a man takes a mail
pouch from a wagon in front Of one of
the most heavily tenaLted buildings in
the city. He works with apparent cool
hess and the passing crowds do not
annoy him in the least. Only a few
days ago l warned Mr.. Travis by mail
that two men ought to accompany each
wagon.
Il went over the matter of the loss
Of the pouch carefully" said Superin.
tendent McGrew. When it was report
ed to me that a register sack had been
taken l at once took in every datail Of
the case. Driver Hannum showed me
the lock, which was swung from the
wagon with a chain. 1t was unlocked
at the time. Then it was locked again.
Hannuh told me that he left the lock
in the staple and he was sure that it
was secur when he left the Stock Ex-
change building. His next stop was at
the Masonic temple. He says he got of
the wagon and went inside the build
ing. When he returned the lock was
open, but still it hung in the hasp. The
thief had taken the time to open the
lock, swing the door, remove the
pouch, close the door and replace the
lock. He forgot, however, to spring it
together"
