Joe, a lonesome little ring tailed
monkey belonging to DR.. NJ. r. Hay
wood of 612 Fourteenth street, tired
of his existence in an instrument-filled
dentists Office, took the night ''out"
last night. AS a result DR.. Haywood
spent a few anxious hours this morn
ing until the pet was located, care
fully chained to far-removed part
of an F street store, into which it
had wandered a short time before.
Joe has shared DR.. Haywood's Office
for a year, the dentist having cap
tured him during a tour of the
Amazon Valley. Although the dentist
had let the simian roam pretty much
at will of late. he had never been
known to keep late hours.
When Joe failed to turn up at his
accustomed hour yesterday, however,
DIR. Haywood started a search that
availed nothing, and upon reaching
his Office this morning he found the
little fellow still absent. Business
was promptly forgotten for the next
hour or so, until the glad news of
his recovery was telephoned to Dr.
Haywood.
Just what Joe did with his time
remains an unanswered mystery, bu.
DR.. Haywood is not concerned with
his pets secrets as long as he is
content to lead a model life in the
future.
