I'm going in," and he pushed open the door of the building.
"Lookee here!" Sure enough there was a hole in the crown of the hat. "Whew!" whistled Courtney, staring at the hat blankly. "I never dreamed Why, good Lord, a couple of inches lower and he'd have got me. I remember my hat blowing off as I got up, but I thought it was the wind. Where did you find it, kid?"
