ard whom she got through she found the store
deserted and the doors all locked. Miss Rahe-
field 10 short, slender girl with fair hair and
complexion. She hustled around the storo to
find q means of exit. In her excitement she
never thought of using the telephone TO call mp
somebody to come around and open the
door. sho might have called up Police Head
quarters and had the Eldridge street station
send policeman around to release her. but, Of
course. she did not know that. There was no
means Of escape by opening window on the
first floor, for the drop to the street was too
great. so Miss Raheneld Just fitted about tho
storo from door to door, tapping on the glass
with her own door key. 1t was shortly after 8
o'clock in the evening" and she had q hard time
attracting attention.
Frank Reynolds. bartender in John A. Nc
Leughlin's saloon. at So Duane street, happened
to hear tho tapping and located 1t as coming
from tho Duane street entrance of the store.
He saw girl behind the door waving her arms
and beckoning to him. Miss RaheHeld finally
got him to understand her predicament. He
found Roundsman Mclaughlin. and blast on
the roundsman's whistle brought four moro po-
licemen 10 the scene.
The combined force then tried all tho doors
and tried to hit on . plan to get Miss Rahefeld
out. She was standing inside, gazing hopefully
at thepi. Finally, on the principle that
who would be free herself must strike tho blow.
she came to her own help. She got stepladder,
which she set under the transom at one Of the
broadway doors. She announced In the sign
language that she intended TO get out that way.
and Policeman Higgins got another stepadder
from the janitor Of tho Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Insurance building on tho opposite cor
ner. Tho other policemen hunted mp axes
and crowbars. and the storming of the
castle was begun. The transom was easily
forced. and Miss Rahefeld climbed up her lad
der and came through head first with tho assist
ance OF q stalwart policeman. Tho transom
window got caught and did not open all tho way,
and for moment Miss Rahetield got tight
squeeze. but she did not appear to mind 1t. She
climbed down the ladder to tho sidewalk, and
busting her shoulders exclaimed, "Heavenr /"
She started to hurry away from the curious
stares Of the crowd. but q policeman grabbed
her and explained that there were some formali-
ties before she could go. In the first place tho
age and address. and the circumstances Of her
peculiar situation. Among tho crowd that
gathered was o young man employed in tho
store, and ho identified her. She gave tho
policeman the necessary information and hur-
ried away to catch . train for Passaio. where
she lives. The incident was duly recorded on
the blotter at tho Eldridge street station, and
police lock was put on the transom.
