 crossing toward . table were other girls and about as many men. It was, beyond any hair-splitting, cozy whisper low," which is refined for speak easy"
 The men were well dressed. and so were the girls. On the tables were champagne and highballs. A small Aoorspace was covered with linoleum, waxed, which served as a dancing sector. The costly mechanical piano was the orchestra.
 They all appeared to know Janet. One, in particular, to whose table she went immediately, greeted her smil- ingly and looked at his watch as though to see whether she were late. The instrument got into action. and he danced her about the tiny square until the end of the roll.
 They and the others were just seat ing themselves again. smiling, gossip ing, when with crunch of jimmy tearing away lock, the back door opened. All turned to see two men, one young and the other middle-aged. with handkerchiefs over their faces below their eyes, enter.
 Get against that wall and stick up your handso
 The older man was giving the com mand.
 They scrambled, frightenedly. to obey. The younger man ran across the room and put the piano between himself and the victims. From his barricaded vantage position he leaned forward. brandishing a long-barreled six-shooter.
 ''The first one moves an eyelash gets tunnel through the head" he warned.
 The older one started through the crowd. With one hand holding snub-nosed magazine gun and the other nimbly running through mems pockets and abstracting rings and necklaces from women's persons. he was rapidly gathering the loot and dropping it into the capacious pocket of his coat.
 Janet, standing furthest in the rear, had been relieved of her beads and small diamond bracelet. She was shudderinG with shock and the stun ming sensation of surprise such as thls. But what d;zzied her more was the yc1aE rohber behind the piano.
 Even iE tfe first dazc of bewiider. men. kas had noticed bis f-ure and his walk. When he spoke. she jumped

though she didn't quite understand what hs had said or thought he hadn't.
 "J-Jerry," she said, "you a stick-up man! And I thought you were the soul of honor and of honesty, a decent bank-clerk-"
 "Oh, slop. 1 did use to be bank teller. Then met you. My pay was $l60 | month, and with the ordinary probabilities of advancement, in five years more behind that grating, caged like . pet monkey and handling mil- lions like cash register. might have worked up to maybe twice that much. wouldn't ask girl to marry me on that kind of chickenfeed. so took the best way knew how to raise soma jack. I've been on this racket with Pete, my partner, for three months now. And instead of handling other peoples dough in a bank, I'm putting other peoples dough in bank-n my name. I've got . few grand salted-"
 Stop" cried Janet. "stop it. Do you think would start life with you on that kind of money"
 "Sure-you would and you will. Any girl that plays that kind of joints and lies to the man she loves and flashes clothes she's been hiding from him-that she got nobody knows how why wouldn't she? Who was the party you were sitting with, by the way?"
 "Oh-no one in particular. like little drink now and then-only wine. And an innocent dance. I didn't think you could afford such amuse- ments, so let you out and let some one else pay for them"
 Pay for the clothes, tool" he sneered.
 "Y-yes. gifts, only. knew that man before knew you. He has plenty. He's married, SO he could never do for me what you can, but he enjoyed being with me in nice, friendly way, and wasn't ashamed of taking few presents from him-he could well af- ford the price"
 That's fine set-up, Janet-for the sort of a girl took you to be-"
 Fine enough, I'd say. for robbers girl suppose Pete's is not the place for a refined Christian who never looks right or left, who wouldn't taste anything kickier than half of one per cent. and who wouldn't let man give her dress or a coat-no, she'd prob ably pull a gun on him and stick him

up for his ron. Now, let's have an understanding,

Jerry-
 "We understand too much already. I'm not all you thought was and you're not entirely exactly what l begged you for, either. now, lets close the book; and let's start . new one, wide open, where we can write just what we want to. What'u we write to start of with?"
 "Very well," answered Janet. Put this down in our book:
 "In spite of the terrible truth about you, l love you. In spite of your dis appointment in me, you love mo. That, after all, is the biggest thing in this life, and tops any and all other con. alterations.
 "Now-you pledge yourself never again to do anything that isn't honest. You pledge yourself to go back to re- spectacle work. I pledge myself never again to touch drink of anything al. ceholic as long as I have | breath in my body. We pledge ourselves to get married. to leave this town and 20 as far as we can and where no one will know us. Then you'll get . job and I'll get job and we'll both work and behave and just live for one another, and stay within whatever means that allows us. .how's that for writing? 2"
 Jerry threw on the brake and drew up before "No Parking" sign.
 Great" he said, putting his hand in hers. "It's written! When do ws pull this marrying business?"
 Monday morning, as soon as ws can get license"
 That's long wait, honey, but I'll take it. By the way. here's your beads and bracelet"
 A policeman came shufiing over to- ward them.
 Hey" he roared, pointing at the sign, Cant youse two read, or what 2"
 Janet was just slipping her arms around Jerry's neck and giving him . kiss.
 "H-m-can that necking." said the cop, but rather gently, Sure, you can't read-you're blind"
 Jerry slid the lever in gear, started, turned his head back over his shoulder and, smiling broadly. called back:
 ''Go on-instead of bothering decent people attending to their own busi- ness. you ought to be out catching criminals--this is all you got to do, and the town overrun with suck-up guys!"
New Britain herald., 1929-01-18

Her eyes were riveted on him. He, too, was staring at her.
 His handkerchief was slipping down his nose. He made . frantic grab at it, but too late. It slid down, wrinkled, on his neck. exposing his features.
 Under the felt hat pulled well down and shading his face. Janet saw the countenance of Jerry!
 The other thief was finishing his job. He motioned to Jerry. They backed out, holding their guns pointed and sweeping the guests.
 Anybody what tries to foller us'll get plugged" growled the stout one.
 They slammed the door to, ran across the small yard. scrambled over a fence with the aid of . little ladder, which they had placed there. and which they pulled up and over after them to cut off immediate pursuit. and disappeared.
 Janet sank into chair All of them were shaky and pale. But she was breathing hard and quivering like a sail in hurricane. Her escort re covered enough composure to slide an arm about her, protectively, and say something meant to be soothing. Janet didn't feel him or hear him. Her heart was pumping and her pulses were pounding.
 There was no police report They all decided to take their losses rather than risk inquiries that would reveal the character of the place and their identities.
 "l had $780," said Janet's escort, but I'd rather lose it than have it come out that was in here. Wouldn't you?"
 Janet tried to speak
 "I'd give all I've got in the world," she said. unsteadily, at last, mot to have it known that was here today"
 There was no more dancing and very little more drinking in that place that afternoon. One by one and two by two the party dispersed. Janet's companion suggested he would go to his club and cash a check and they could go elsewhere. But she begged off-said sine had frightful headache from the effects of the adventure and insisted he should take her home Which he did.
New Britain herald., 1929-01-18

She washed of the excessive make up, put on her simpler. frock and sat down to await the coming of Jerry at the appointed hour.
 He came.
 His car was in front. He looked at her strangely, but said nothing out of the ordinary.
 "Go for a ride?" he asked And she nodded. She put on a little hat and climbed in beside him. Jerry started the motor, slipped the lever into gear. and they were off.
 They got rolling in high before either spoke. Then Jerry, keeping his eyes front for driving, said:
 "Well-any explanation except an alib that you want to offer, I'm ready to listen to-"
 She turned her eyes sharply toward him.
 Explanation! YOU want one from ME"
 "l certainly do. What were you doing in that bootleg dump, with other men?"
 q certainly was NOT doing in there what YOU were"
 That's another matter. We'll get to that soon What want to know now is the big idea of you lying to me that you had work to do, and then playing around in the kind of lace where ! never dreamed you'd go and where you know you'd never go if l knew it."

 "H'm-l should think you would cry" growled Jerry. "Cut it out!'
 Janet wiped her cheeks and eyes then said brokenly:
 "Oh-Jerry! You've ruined my life. 1 loved you so-
 "What do you mean loved! You still love me. And l still love you And I'm going to marry you. But this speakeasy habit and galivanting with other guys is strictly out-get that straight and like it."
