fought to retain consciousness and
as 1 fought, I could see as through
a haze the leering smile of Philip
Devious. Suddenly I felt a strong
feeling of anger yelling up within
me. This must be trick of Phil's!
l was sure OF it when he suggested
that I go up to one of the parlors
and lie down until felt better. How
could know whether it was safe or
not?
mo, mol" I protested. "Take me
home, Phil" His only answer was a
broad, insinuating, rather calculating
smirk.
The orchestra started again, the
lights dimmed, couples sought the
floor and rocked and shuf1ed to the
syncopated tunes. Walters, trays
balanced aloft, scampered about,
while over all, like an ancient high
priest experimenting an orgy, the Or
chestra leader snapped his baton
and grinned indulgently.
Raid and Run
Then crash! Somebody breaking
IN! Walters scurry out the back way.
Some one yells "Police!" My heart
seems to stop beating for a minute
as crash follows crash. The front
door gives way. The blue-coated
host pours in.
Patrons and entertainers are run
ming in all directions. Police are
shouting orders. Clubs rise and
fall. Curse follows curse. I slump
down with fright behind our table!
1 looked around for Phil, but he
was gone! Then I noticed an alter
cation near side window far down
near the rear of the place. Phil had
deserted me, and, trying to save
himself, had run into the arms of
policeman. The officer yanked him
by the collar, Phil lashed out with
his fist and caught him on the
point of the jaw. The officer fell,
Others closed around Phil, dubbed
him and dragged him out the front
door along with other patrons.
Weak from the whole experience,
and yet aware of the terrible pre-
dicanent in which would be if the
officers found me, stealthily pulled
the table cloth down until 1t hid me
completely from anyone who might
look into the booth. Then I waited.
Back Home
The place was soon empty, the
patrons and employees taken to the
station house, and the front door
locked. No one had seen me. The
cabaret was in darkness, but remem-
bering the lay of the place, I walked

Early Census Figures

Nine Villages and Townships in
County Show Slight Decrease
Since 1920

Is the population of Redwood coun-
ty decreasing? From the early re-
turns it would seem so, according to
figures received from five townships
and four villages in a preliminary
count. While the figures that have
been received are preliminary and
subject to correction, they are believ-
ed to be substantially correct
The townships of Granite Rock,
Johnsonville, Springdale and North

decreased since the last census in

The club decided to have ladies
night wednesday at 1880 p. m. at
FL Cortez cafe in Matamoros.
r. E. Friedman had charge of
the program, which featured a talk
by j. G. Bennett on what the can
ming industry means TO the VAL
ley. The Olmito canning factory,
with which he is connected, spent
$4,000 for labor during the past
year he said, explaining that II also
offers the growers a market for
culls which do not have a good
enough appearance for the market
fresh.
High freight rates, Mr.. Bennett
stated, are a great handicap TO the
Valleys development in this direc-
ton, since present rulings allow
canned goods to be shipped in from
Baltimore at a cheaper rate pei
100 pounds than they can b ship
ed from here TO Corpus Christi.
He went or 70 say that high
freight rates recently prevented q
large canning concern from locat-
ing In the Valley. A cut in the
rates, Mr.. Bennett believes, would
be advantageous TO the railroads
as well as the shippers, the greater
volume more then compensating
for the loss.

pastor Of the First Methodist
church, was a guest Of the club
and made a brief talk. Other
