dumbly to the corner, the one in
blue with brass buttons stepping
with all the stolid decision his drag

pered into a police patrol box. A

thrusting heads forward, peering
with sickening curiosity, some al

As 1t comes nearer the boy pulls

ruthlessly around the corner and in
a flash the poor wretch is bundled

three girls in an office high above
the street gave interested attention

one.
The tableau being enacted below
was getting to be an ordinary oc-
currence, but the girls, not without
distaste for the never failing
crowd and commiseration for the
victim, always responded to the
signal. They had seen all kinds
some singing, riotously happy. some
ioquacious, some dulled to insensi.

an appeal been made to pity.
