WHAT'S the ANSWER

Editor, Press-I wish to ask you
how it is the police are SO ready to
arrest person who is perfectly
sober, quiet and harmless; whose
only crime was to be masked, hav-
ing been to private dance?
Charles Peterson had been to a
mask ball and about $50 p. m. he,
just for a lark, thought he would
go and see his employer while on
his way home. He had not gone
far before he was arrested and a
charge of disorderly conduct pre-
ferred against him.
Now, why cannot he go along
the street masked when he was
sober and behaving, while there
are dozens of young men, some six
or eight in crowd and all yell
ing and swearing and making in
sulting remarks to women as they
pass?
There is not a night but crowds
of men at Riverside and Howard,
and along Riverside, standing in

and making remarks loud enough
for women to hear as they pass.

Dallas turned away with his two
companions. Some 20 minutes later
man lounged into the bar and
called for something to drink. He
seemed to suspect nothing. The
man was fairly we'll dressed. A
gaudy cap on the back of his head
disclosed a plaster of greasy curls
on peculiarly low and retreating
forehead. The strangers face did
not suggest a profession criminal.
He swallowed his drink and
strolled toward the fireplace with
out noticing the three occupants in
the recesses of the box. Then he
caught sight of Stevens and took a
seat by his side. The conversation
was conducted in whispers, but it
was possible for the listeners to
hear most of what was taking place.
well, did you manage it all
right?" the newcomer asked.
Don't trouble about that" Ste
vens muttered. "But I didn't get
half as much as you thought l
should. Forty pounds was the
price my man offered, and he
wouldn't give another penny"
The newcomer grOwled some
thing incoherent. There was a
shink of money stealthily passed,
followed by volley of oaths from
Stevens companion.

he muttered. Fancy, 20 quid for a
job like that, and the chance of
