WOMAN WHIPS
RUSSIAN BULLY
New Yorker With American
Red Gross Unit Nearly
Finishes Him

Omsk, Oct. A certain Russian
bully learned something about
American women that will lurk in
his memory for some time through
an encounter a few days ago with
Miss Annie Laurie Williams in the
freight yards at Omsk. Miss Will
liams' name will be familiar to
many New Workers as welfare
worker. She is now with the
American Red Cross and was one
of those twelve women chosen to
remain behind when the others were
hustled out of Omsk by the Ameri-
can ambassador to Japan, Roland
5. Norris, to escape a possible Boil
shevik invasion.
The Russian was attempting to
climb aboard a car in a refugee
train in which were several girls.
The girls were trying to shut the
car door against him when Miss
Williams appeared and grappled
with the intruder. She managed to
land two blows on his jaw and then
they rolled together down the en-
bankment. AS they arose she gave
him another.
Two Czech soldiers then came to
her aid and, but for Miss Williams
intercession, would have finished
the bully, who was eventually al
lowed to retreat and ponder on the
strange ways of American women.

so you are going to leave me,
after all, eh?"
The voice asking the question
was harsh and the speakers face
darkened. He was a proud man;
! he had come as near humiliating
himself to this young fellow as he
had ever come to doing so to any
young man. And this was the
thanks he got for his condescen-
sion! The rascal was getting back
at him for his doubts of him!
Il must leave, Mr.. Leighton"
| David tried to explain. To-day I
received telegram from my law
from another city making it neces-
sary that I CO."
Leighton Grows Angry
No matter at what inconveni-
epce to me?" was the sarc2 site
query.
David rose. He was determined
to control his temper
! Il hope it may not prove incon-
venient to you. I have here the
name and address of young man
who wants a place as chauffeur at
once. He will, of course, give you
his own references. I know moth
ing about him personally, except
that he looks bright and capable
and has a pleasing manner"
AS he spoke, David laid on the
desk the slip of paper on which he
had written the name and address
of the fellow he had met at the
garage.
The 6der man did not even
glance at 1t.
"Since you have so little regard
for my convenience as to leave me
without an hours warning, I do not
care to employ anybody whom you
may suggest" he said hotly. Here"
drawing a roll of bills from his
pocket-"is your pay UP to night
before last. Then you began on a
new week. Let me see-how much
does that make?"
In silence David took the money
held towards him. When he had
put it in his pocket he spoke.
'T regret that you are angry, Mr..
Leighton. Good afternoon"
Wait" Leighton exclaimed. "I
told you I would pay you extra for
your butler work the other night"
But, as if he had not heard him,
David left the office. The closing of
the door behind him with unneces-
sary emphasis was the only re-
sponse to Samuel Leighton's speech.
That evening David De Laine took
the night train for Baltimore.
