I The cold air duct leading to the fur.
mace of the Ullemeyer home from a
room on the first floor of the resi-
dence, was the field of discovery. and
although uninjured the baby had a mar
row escape from serious harm, or
death.
Mrs Ullemeyer was cleaning the
home yesterday preparatory to enter
tanning. The iron grating from the
cold air duct was lifted from the chute
and was taken to the back yard to be
cleaned. Sybil as soon as II was re-
moved became manifestly interested
in the opening and considerable child
ish concern was shown on her little
face
A muslin strip was placed over the
opening to restrain the child from
throwing pebbles into the opening, and
after this was completed the telephone
rang and Mrs. Ullemeyer, who was
alone in the room. answered it.
Miss Florence came into the room a
few moments later and saw that the
baby had disappeared. incidentally
she noticed that the muslin strip over
the duct was also out of sight She
looked into the duct and there saw
the baby and the muslin at the very

and falling TO the bottom.
With a scream Miss Florence called
her mother who dropped the receiver
and hastened to the scene. Both WON
en- lay prone on the floor trying to
reach the child. They screamed loud

Fortunately Mr.. Ullemeyer was en-
gagged in his room upstairs. He heard
the screams and came rushing to the
scene. Visions of men with daggers
dashed through his mind and his eX-
citement was heightened when he saw
his Wife and daughter on the floor with
outstretched hands into the cold air
duct. He looked in and saw the baby
at the bottom but the situation was
solved Immediately by him.
He went into the basement OF the
house and tore the sheet iron duct to
pieces. Reaching in the opening ne
made he drew forth little Sibyl, Gov

Had the baby fallen head first into 4
