Knocked her down; but she recovered
herself. and, reaching the middle or the
roadway, stood there like a rock, her
face turned in the direction whence tie
fugitives were hustening.
And presently she saw what she
wanted. In the re<ci of smoke above the
burning gate, toward which she looked
and the flames of which filled the
street with a smoky glare-a sudden
Ritter of steel shone out; and in mo
ment, rank on rank, dense column oil
men appeared, coming shoulder TO
shoulder. She watched them tramp
nearer and nearer, filling the street
from wall to wall, until she could see
the glare of their eyes; then, with a
cry that was lost in the tumult, she
rushed on the bayonets.
With eyes shut, with arms open TO re-
ceive the thrust. But the man whom
she had singled out had dropped his
point with an oath. and dealt her buff
fet with butt and elbow that flung her
hside unhurt, second did the same to
her, and a third, until. banded from one
10 another, she fell against the wall,
breathless and dizzy. but unhurt.
The column swept Oh, and she rose.
She had escaped-by n miracle, as itl

doom; and. darting from the wall, she
Ilnug herself down before them.
What was one woman on such a night,
In such riot as held the captured
town. The torrent of iron, remorseless,
unchecked, thundered over her and tore

that she should escape. Yet, when some
came to look to the fallen SOL

woman beside him rose unhurt.

Walter n. Emmops OF $50 On Hanover
street. on Aug. g. The arrest OF feehan
discloses the fact that Emmons had
taken money from q ooy who had picked
the pocket of a Maiden woman, while she
was waiting for a car. Feehan saw the
operation and found Emmons and cor
cred him In a doorway. Emmons was
afraid to cry out rs Feehan told him what
he had seen ana Emmons saw tnat an
accusation against Feehan meant his own
arrest on the charge OF receiving stolen
property, so he gave up tho money. The
lad who did the stealing was arrested and
confessed. This led TO the arrest OF
Emmons who also con nfessed, implicating
Feehan. The latter WAS located at Provi-
dencs, X. L., from which place he re-
turned today and was promptly arrested.
