WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
Base Woman Lures Two New York Girls to VoIuntown-They Escape and Are Aided to Get Home.

Is there a white slave mart in east ern Connecticut? Here are such parts of an authentic story as those in pos session of the knowledge of the names of the interested parties and the dates of the happening are willing to give out The incident is certainly strongly suggestive that the soul-si -sickening practice of bartering Virginity for gold is not confined to glittering New York
 It was .on recent day that a man who lives in Jewett City and has fre- quent occasion to make business trips to Voluntown, was driving along the highway between the places mention ed. He was on his way to Jewett City and about four miles from 1t when he met two girls. so young as to be little more than children. They were trudg- ing along the tiresome way, burdened with such luggage as contained their possessions
 One of them-the younger. who was about IA years of age-appeared to have been crying. and the man dmn1e- diately became interested. To his in- quiries as to who they were and where they were going and why their transportation, they were at first re- Iuctant to answer except as far as to say that they were going to Jewett City. That they were tired, distressed and involved in some sort of difficulty was at once patent to the Jewett City man and he invited them to share such small space as his vehicle afford ed and ride to their destination. They accepted.
 Their benefactor gradually learned from their reticent lips the story Of how they came to be frfendlesS and without money on a back-country road. They said that they were New York girls, not sisters one of them being IA and the other 16. A few days before they had made an agreement with a woman, who had been repre- sented to them as being wealthy to come out on her country estate to take places that would give them de- siraible occupation and not be difficult to flil. They were also told that the

door and saw outside a m~uf1ed-up
female who eagerly demanded ad-
mittance. He knew by her accent thai
she was not a Marseinaise, but the
shawl hat covered her head and
shoulders showed that she belonged to
the working classes.
Whom do you wish to see at this
hour?" he gruf1y demanded.
81 live here" said Edith. ct came
here tonight with my brother from
Paris. Please let me in at once"
In her excitement and breathless-
ness, for she had hurried at top speed
from the harbor, Edith forgot that the
homely garment she adopted as a dis
guise effectually cloaked her from the
recognition of the hall-porter as from
all others.
Moreover. her French accent was too
good. 1t deceived the man even more
thoroughly than did the shawl.
"Oh, really now" he said, this is
for laughter! A woman like you stay

a gendarme."

Edith in his arms.
MY darling girl" he cried, where
have you been? We almost gave You
up for lost. Where is your hat? Where
did you get hat shawl?" and all the
time he was hugging her so fiercely
that it was absolutely impossible fer
her to say a single word. At length
she ~disengaged herself.
Don't be so ridiculous" she said,
but let me come In and close III door.
The h~all-porter will think we are
cracked"
She summarized the hall-porter's
sentiments most accurately. He ex-
planned the transaction to the manager
with most eloquent pantomime, and
the two marveled greatly at the weird
pI oceedings of their strange guests.
"Ah." said the manager al length,
nov that mademoiselle has returned
perhaps they will go to bed"
At that instant Brett's voice was
heard upon the stairs. He wanted the
telephone again.
Edith had rapidly detailed her ad-
ventures to her astonished auditors,
and Brett seemed to resolve on some
plan of action with the lightning rapid
ity peculiar to him.
Owing to the late hour he got through
to Paris without much difficulty, and
then he returned to the sitting-room.

detail all that had happened since she
left them at the hotel door. Brett ex-
planned to his companions the motives
