daring feat OF Theodore Harden, who

Potomac river from the top Of a tower
that had been erected upon a motorboat
and towed out to the middle OF the
channel.
Besides the crowd on the shore and
hundreds Of persons who stood upon
the bridge many river craft witnessed
the feat and several movin gpicture ma

A detachment of harbor police assist

Before undertaking his plunge into the
Potomac MIR. Harden permitted his
hands to be secured with two pairs OF
handouts. His arms were chained to-
gether from behind.
He remained IN the cold waters Of
the river several seconds beyond the
time he had announced he would re-
appear, thus furnishing additional
thrills for the large number OF specta-

John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance, not SO much from the
finer workings Of the masculine heart
toward the feminine an for other mo-
tives. He had selected Enid as .
hitting mate. Her cheeks were Grim
son with the vigor of health and her
step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing Of anything but o dnc
race Of men was to doubt truth
Itself.
With this in view Dillon had pro-
posed to and been rejected By Enid
she having chosen to bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy Langhorn.

bis hopes found Dillon escaping into

Elsie had taken these opinions az
