nation sprang to its feet and recovered
its equanimity and no doubt it would

Innocence Setrayeo

Last Tuesday we received phone
message that some ladies wanted to
meet us in Il certain dark room in
this town. With many forbodings
and heart f1utterings we betook our
selves to the tryst. We were met at
the door of a dark room rendered still
more gloomy by heavy curtains over
window and door and a pleasant voice
asked US IN.
On entering the apartmentwe could
see nothing distinctly but a faint
light at one end of the narrow apart
ment. We were conducted to the far
Their end of the room and asked to be
seated, while certain hurried prepar-
atlous seemed to be going on. We
were asked to gaze only in one dirict-
ion and cautioned not to smile too
loud, to sit still and we should not be
hurt. All this time we realized a
lady was very near us as we could
distinguish by the gentle breathing.
We could hear also a Slight scratch
ing on the wall to our right but dare
not turn our head in that direction.
Finally we were excused with the
assurance that we should see oursel-
YES as Others see US. We don't Know
what will be the outcome of all this,
nor do we know how many more inn0-
cent men will be inveigled toto this
same dark and gloomy apartment,
but wish now to caution all our IN
suspecting brothers against answer
ing telephone calls to meet ladies.
HAPPILY we escaped with no harm ex-
cept the severe shock to our nervous
system from the effects of which we
hope to speedily recover.
