The policemen ran with her, rap
ping the pavement. One of them
stopped to telephone the station for
the patrol wagon. Two other police
men galloped in from side streets.
Royce and Gloria had struggled
through to the door just as the police
men poured in at their backs. Royce
being the first man they found, they
seized him roughly. Gloria interceded
with' anger and was threatened with
a back-handed blow Policemen have
to act quickly and vigorously in riots,
and these officers were not accustomed
to finding well-bred young women from
good homes in that quarter.
All the gang, men and women, in
Guiding Mol, pointed to Royce and to
Gloria as the disturbers Of a peaceful
gathering. While they yelled and
wrangled q patrol wagon rolled into
the street and backed up to the curb.
The reserves tumbled out. A second
wagon was On the way Up.
The police began TO hustle every
willing enough to leave the place, but
the thought Of taking a ride in the
patrol wagon was absolutely intolera-
bic. When an officer tried to shove
her along she brushed his hand from
her arm and snatched off his hat, cry
ing: "Take Off your hat when you
speak to me-
The officer was enraged, then amaz-
ed. He picked up his hat, put it
on, took it off, and then bowed to her
in mock politeness. Then she went
out very haughtily.
The whole crowd was rushed into
who had hidden back of the bar when
the officers descended.
AS Gloria sat in the wagon clinging
to ROyce's arm and shivering with
shame, a blowZy female with a long
feather in her hat leaned over and
plucked her by the sleeve. Gloria
WINGED. The crone laughed and said :
Don't give your really truly name,
dearie."
Gloria blushed a little deeper, but
she was thankful for the hint, and said
so. She advised Royce to do the same,
and she sat about trying to imagine
good nom de patrol wagon.
1t was wasted energy for, though
she didn't know it, she was going right
back to the night court she came from

were notifying Judge Freeman that a
raid had been made and a load of pris-
oners was coming. The courtroom was
empty. The attendants were yawning.
The judge was sentencing young
pickpocket. He dismissed court, rose
and went to his retiring room.

Then she understood and would

hacked away from them in terror and
backed into the dance hall-a large

and shabby characters. Couples were

Gloria declined his invitation with
terrified thanks and started for the
door. but Choey seized her by the
waist, whipped her into his arms and
fox-trotted away with her. She was
more disguised than afraid. She re-
sisted vainIy, pushing against him and
struggling. He laughed; the crowd
laughed. She struck up at the villains
face, but he held his head too high for
her to reach and, laughing, whirled her
round and round through the crowd.
About this time Doctor Royce was in
hot pursuit of Gloria. He had caught
glimpse Of her hat, and he thought
he saw it turn in at door. He was
almost more angry than anxious. He
tried all the doors. At length he
reached the dance hall. He glanced
at the crowd and felt sure that Gloria
could not be there. He was about to
retreat when Choey's late companion,
Mol admired him and danced up to
him. daring him to invite her to a
spiel And then he saw Gloria-a most
astonishing Gloria. She had been SO
enraged by her cactor's insistence that
she seized him by the neck scarf and,
leapng up, caught him by the hair
and dragging his head down slapped
his face.
Choey was a believer in the equality
of women, and he made ready to re-
