seldom that such an outrage Is per-
petrated in this city. and the ques-

Wait a minute. OF course that Is
the mystery To b solved In all sucn
cases. but this Is case that runs
the gamut from daring TO sneak
thievery. and reeks with revenge and
pitework-woman's spitework. Two
pretty girls were the victims of the
robbers. and the articles taken were
such as to appeal only to a woman

Miss Gladys Lane. who is noted on
the rialto for her smart gowns, her
wonderful hats, her beautiful face
and figure, was one of the victims;
graceful, willowy, Villa Linette was
the other. The girls were living
alone together, or perhaps it would
be better to say, they were living to-

rooms on Center street. Miss Linette

dear old harpsichord in the rooms of
the Richelieu. Her voice has swell

viands of the Richelieu have been
undergoing service. Lulled by the
dulcet tones many man has lost
his appetite, and has been content to
drink in the sweet music in lieu of
wine, and pay for the wine besides.
Miss Lane is very fond of music,
and also of the musician, and she
waited for her in the morning of yes

sufficed to show that robbers had
been there; and Gladys dallied long
enough to take a peep at her apart

too 1t was enough. The two girls
ran into the street screaming at the
top of their voices. Then they ran
to the police station. Two minutes
later they were running UP Brougher
avenue with Lieutenant White of the
police force.
What sight those two rooms
were. There was nothing left in the
room of Miss Linette but few ar
ticles of clothing that she was keep
ing for rainy day, or they would
have done in the snow. The robbers
had completely Quilted the room and
had turned over the bed clothing in
their quest for money.
Miss Gladys Lanes room looked as
If cyclone had passed through it.
She had beautiful hat with a gor-
geous plume. They hadn't taken
that, but they had done worse; they
had jumped on it, and kicked it, and
crushed it, and torn the feathers out
of it, and left it sad sight The
