faces wore sinister look as they talked
earnestly in low tones about something
that had recently happened. A Reporter
for the Chicago Record Herald who was
staying at the Delmonico on the alert
for a news paper scoop" caught the
scent of a social tragedy pricked up his
ears and sidled up to small group of
prominent citizens who had gathered
under the awning of the Farmers Saw
ings Bank. In the center of the group
was an able attorney from whose lips
the Chicago reporter eagerly snatched
the following:-"Of course, it is not
ife.desertion, but it is so closely re-
lated to that as to Justify prosecution.
Such practice would dissolve good
society" by lingo Neddyl" said an
other of the group as he tilted his cigar
upward, socked his thumbs into the
armholes of his vest, and Topped back
against the telephone pole, boys, this
fellow actually escorted these two
young ladies TO this entertainment and
there in the middle of a dark night
withdrew his protection, deserted his
duty, and left them stranded on a
strange shore. then vanished, as it were,
in the darkness with another young
lady" Men, resumed the attorney
as he vehemently brought his right fist
down in his left palm, II am going to
set the grand jury to work on this case.
The only thing that will save this fellow
from prison and social ostracism is
public apology" 1t is most gratifying
to note that such things do not happen
about Hamlin.
