''Hc must of saio something pretty

The woman wrung her hands
"What people! What-savages!

as at her. Imagine! Hurting a full

81 don't hear nobody laughing.
Briskow swung his head slowly from
side to side.
Going directly to the desk, he
| asked for the manager then stood
aside, ha. in hand, until the latter
made his appearance. The manager
began hRsty and rather mixed
apology on behalf of the hotel for
what had occurred in the dancing
! room, but his tone of annoyance was
an accusation in itself.
"Very-unfortunate." he lamented
I'VE haven't heard the last of it, by
any means"
'Probly So" the father agreed

At the door to mis- suite Gus Bris
kow paused to wipe his countenanc,
clean of the expression it had wor,
for the last few minutes, and whe,

friendly smile. Allie and her mothe
were waiting: they were white an,
silent. Gus kissed his daughter be

Allie averted her face. Mrs. Bris
kow inquired. "Did you see tn

Hadn't we better leave, too?
ventured Allie.
"Oh-h!" In Mas eyes was sue

that Gus shook his head.
