morning his absence was noticed, the
fact Of his disappearance the previous
day was recalled, and he was marked
discharged for being away without ex-
cuse.
Night came on, and the chill crept up
from the bay and numbed Lammert.
He still chung to his giddy perch and
at intervals shouted for help. Day
break brought fresh hope. Hunger
revived him and spurred him on to
fresh attempts to escape. He waved
his handkerchief at the people be-
low. He spent the greater part of
the afternoon writing notes on envel-
opes and papers from his pocket and
trying to drop them into the street
Some were waited blocks out Of the
way and some fell unnoticed.
Night found him disheartened and
despairing. He was about ready to
let loose and fall into the street.
Daylight came again, and with it
hope. Lammert says that during the
morning he declared he would end his
misery by jumping-but that he was
afraid he would alight on some one
and kill hfm-so postponed the jump
until night. The grim jest kept re-
curing all day.
About o'clock that afternoon Curtis
Logan, an employee of a brokerage
firm in the building across the street,
happened to glance out the window.
He saw Lammert and stopped to look.
THAT fellow is long time fixing that
pipe" he thought, for on the preceding
day Logan had seen Lammert, noticed
his perilous position and watched him
for time, thinking he was a daring
workman repairing the pipe.
Suddenly the thought struck him that
the man could not get out Of the
crevasse in the side Of the building.
He watched awhile longer, and then,
hurrying to the elevator, descended,
crossed the street and went up to the
life insurance company Office, where
he raised the alarm
The employees were skeptical, but
Logan insisted that man was on the
ledge. Then some one remembered
Lammert and his odd disappearance.
The window was thrown open, and
some one shouted Lammert's name
The result was feeble cry for help.
Telephone messages summoned men
from the nearest fire station. A rope
was swung from the window by Lam
merits desk across to the window BE-
You'd the projection, and window
washer, with his belt hooked over the
rope, slipped along the ledge, around
the projection and in an instant reap
peared supporting Lammert. Eager
hands stretched forth and drew Lam
inert into the window, and in a dazed
way he walked over to his desk, put
the paper he had saved upon it and
toppled over in dead faint.

CAUGHT LITTLE DOROTHY"

Chicago Police Followed Her Mammals
instructions.
Not in vain did Mrs. Fred Levi of
Columbus, O., appeal to the police Of
Chicago, and if the distracted mother
did not accomplish what she thought
she would certainly it was not the
fault Of the detectives who responded
following message, received in police
headquarters:
Police-Please intercept my little daugh-
ter Dorothy, who has gone to Chicago to
get married. She is pretty. with lots Of
red hair.
In response to the message three de-
tectives were hurried to meet an in
coming train from Columbus, and the
sleuths, mindful Of the agony which
the mother must be suffering, deter
mined to let no little red haired girl
slip past them. They eyed suspicious
~ every passenger on the train, but
when the last one had alighted no lit
tie Dorothy had appeared.
The detectives were about to leave
the station when they saw a tall, hand
somely gowned woman sitting on one
Of the benches. They recognized her,
as having been on the train, and one
of the detectives said to her:
pardon me. madam, but did you see|
any little red haired girl get on the
train at Columbus?'
The woman eyed the detective as if
she suspected he was insane, and she
replied that she had not seen any girl
answering that description.

said, land I'm looking for girl nam

IT Is stated in the dispatches that
Mr.. Robert Latham is to succeed Major
J. c. Hemphill as editor Of the News
and Courier, and although The Enqui-
rer is not fully reconciled to the idea
Of giving up the present brilliant edi-
tor of that paper, 1t has no hesitation
in declaring that in its opinion the
MANAGEMENT could hardly have found
a more worthy successor. Mr.. Latham
is a son Of the late Rev. DIR. Robert
Latham, of honored memory through
out this section, and though young In
years, Is old in learning, character and
experience. His first newspaper work
was on the Columbia State, and after
serving for quite while as court
stenographer, he went to the News and
Courier, where he has been for the past
five or six years, going through vari-
GUS stages of promotion and leaving
behind him some Of the most credita-
BILE newspaper work this state has
known, at least during the present
generation. 1t is probably fair to say,
that it was Mai. Hemphill who found"
that Mr.. Latham was a newspaper man;
but that can be said without taking
away any Of the credit to which this
gentleman Is entitled for having made
good" We predict that under the
management Of Editor Latham, the
News and Courier will not suffer the
loss Of any Of the honorable prestige II
has won during It's long and distin-
guished existence.
