Tscir gaze will be fixed on some unlucky offender, whom they will yank from his hiding place in the Biltmore or the Ritz; whom they win drag, shrieking, round the corner to a se- cluded spot near. perhaps the Metro politan museum or the Grand Central and whom they will relentlessly tar, feather and horsewhip.
 The offender may be a shopkeeper who refuses to exchange a hat tive weeks after purchase. He may be the fellow who declines to offer his hard won subway seat to lady passenger, Just who he may be is- mysterious; but whoever he be. let him tremble~at the sound of furious hoofs and rust ling silken robes.
