Agent" at Home of G. S.
Lance Points Gun at
Young Girl.
TOLD TO PRODUCE CASH
Lucille Smith Pretends to Go
for Some Money and Gets
Revolver Instead.

Another brave maid-servant routed
a bold bad robber who threatened the
peace of her masters house and his
worldly goods, when Thursday noon
Miss Lucille Smith turned the tables
on thief who walked into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Lance, 372 Park
avenue, and demanded money. The
man had first appeared at the front
door, representing himself as curl
ing-iron agent, and when he found the
girl was alone, he drew gun and told
her to fetch him the cash in the house.
Instead of complying, Miss Smith lew
eled gun at him and sent him flying.
Such was the story told Thursday noon
by Miss Smith to her mistress when
the latter came home, and later in the
day when Mr.. Lance returned the story
was given to the police.
He Was Gay and Debonafr,
1t was about II o'clock Thursday
morning and Lucille Smith, the young
maid, just turned sixteen, was in
charge of the Lance home on Park
avenue. Mrs. Lance was absent at the
Thrift Shop and Mr.. Lance was in Ra-
cine on business. The house at. 372 is
one of two flats, the Lances living be-
low and another family above Lucille
was in the act of cleaning up the
house when the doorbell rang. An
swering the call, she found an agent
on the threshold.
According to the description which
she later gave, he was q good-looking.
debonair young man of about rs years
of age. He was we'll dressed, wore
brown suit and in manner was easy
and even gay. He told the girl that
he was a curling-iron agent and that
he had just the kind of nifty little
machine that every girl and woman
desired. He showed her a Sample of
his wares and told her his headquar-
tiers were in Racine
Comes Around at Back.
But Miss Lucille had no desire for
the article and she. informed him SO,
and upon his request to see the lady
of the house, she told him that her
mistress was not at home. The agent
departed and presently the girl saw
him come around the path to the rear.
She thought, as she recounted later.
that the man was going to try his luck
with the family living upstairs and
paid no attention to his movements.
Instead, however, he came to the
Lance back door and walked into the
house, drawing gun on the startled
girl and demanding that she get him
all the cash there was on the place.
Promising to do as he babe her, the
girl left him. Why he did not follow
her, is unexplained, but according to
the girls story, the man allowed aher
to get out of his reach while she went
into the bedroom on the pretext of get
ting the money. She found revolver
belonging to the house, which was
empty, but she seized it and hurried
back to the kitchen, where she pointed
it at the intruder who fed AS a re-
suit of her courage, the thief was
routed. Mr.. and Mrs. Lance, stated to
the police that they placed every con-
fdence in the story told by the maid
and commended her for her spirit.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
-Horatio Bottomley, former
publisher of John Bull, was found
guilty today by a jury on the charge
of misrepresentation Of funds belong
ing to the Victory Bond club. He was
sentenced to seven years of penal
seFvitude.
A remarkable scene occurred outside
the court after sentence had been pro-
nounced. The crowd surrounding the
Old Bailey; surged after the van which
was conveying Bottomley to prison and
strong police measures were required
to quell the demonstration.
Mr.. Bottomley's conviction was i'm
mediately made known in a message
by the judge to the speaker of the
House of Commons who formally an
nounced it in the House. This auto
matically vacates Bottomley's seat in
the House.

The BottomIey case has been excit-
ing intense interest in England since
the defendant, a member of parlia-
ment, first was charged with fraudu-
lently converting funds of the Victory
Bond club, wartime organization of
which he was the founder and presi-
dent. When Bottomley was placed on
trial he was specifically accused of
Incorporating $4,000 but the pros
cution alleged that of $4,000 he was
declared to have handled only $23 900
could be accounted for Bottomley
protested his innocence.
Bottomley's publication, John Bull,
was noted for it's frequent attacks on
America and things American.

CHAPTER VI

There was no specific reason why
Robert Fairchild should follow Maui
rice Rodaine and the young woman
who had been described to him as the
daughter OF Judge Richmond, who
ever he might be. Resentment was in
his heart-resentment that the family
OF ROdaine should be connected In
some way with the piQuant, mysteri-
Gus little person he had helped out Of
a predlcament on the Denver road the
day before. And, to his chagrin, the
very fact that there WIS q connection
added a more sinister note to the es-
capade OF the exploded tire and the
pursuing sheriff; as he walked along.
his gaze far ahead, Fairchild found
himself wondering whether there
could be more than mere coincidence
in it all, whether she was a part Of
the Rodaine schemes and the Rodaine
trickery, whether
But he ceased his wondering TO turn
sharply into a nearby drug store,
there abSently to give an order ut the
soda fountain and stand watching the
pair who had stopped just in front
of him on the corner. She was the
same girl there could be no doubt Of
that, and he ragged inwardly as she
chatted and chaffed with the man who
looked down upon her with a smiling
air Of proprietorship which instilled
instant rebellion in F%airchild's heart.
Nor did he know the reason for that,
either.
After a moment they parted, and
Fairchild gulped at his fountain drink.
She had h%esitated, then with a quick
decision turned straight into the drug
store.
"Buy a ticket, Mr.. McCauley?" she
asked Of the mar behind the counter.
I've sold twenty already, this morn
ing. Only five more, and my works
over. Please take the five, won't you?
Then III be through"
"I1l be darned If / will, Mia I" Nc
Cauley backed against a shelf case In
mock self-defense. Every time you've
got anything you want TO get rid Of,
you come in here and shove 1t Off on
me. There's only .NUur In my family
and tours all I'm going to take" He
tossed four silver dollars on the show
case and took the tickets. Tie girl
demurred.
"But how about the fifth one2 I've
got to sell that too"
"Well sell 1t to him." And Fair
child, looking into the soda-fountain
mirror, saw himself indicated as the
druggist started toward the prescrip-
ton case.
There was q moment Of awkward ST.
lence as Fairchild gazed intently into
his soda glass, then with a feeling of
queer excitement, set it on the marble
counter and turned. Anita Richmond
was approaching-in a stranger-like
manner-a ticket Of some sort held
before her.
Pardon me-" she began, 'but would
you care to buy a ticket to the Old
Times dance? It's a sort Of munich

question with misgiving. The miner

And the man-who Is he?"
Him? Oh, he's Maurice Rodaine.

The eyes of Robert Fairchild mar
rowed, and a desire to fight-a long

m all that belonged TO him-surged
into his heart. But his voice, when he
spoke, was slow and suppressed.
"Squint Rodaine? Yes, / think I

Then, deliberately, he started up the
street, following at a distance the
man and the girl who walked before
him.

"My father never harmed a soul in

worked in your fathers case-with the

about like mine. That's why they
gave him the narle. He went to work.
