A QUIET CALL ON LOUISA. Inez and Trilby Hear How “Nothing Much” Happened on Third Avenue While They Cruised in South—“Such a Nuisance,” Louisa’s Comment on Moonshine Raid and Explosion, Hold-up Treubles and Chorus Girls’ Adven- tures—Stick-up Lady Tackles a She Dempsey. D. C, JUNE 11, 1922—PART .4 What 100,000 American Tourists Are Scolding About in Europe " Even Highest Railroad Officials From This Country, When They Complain of Traveling Facilities, Forget That There Has Been a War — Do They Sav That “the Bride Is Too Beautiful”? — Reserving Seats on French Day Trains.

Louisa, however, continues to stare at her almost as though she was still unconvinced. “I Kknow.' says she. “But you was awful long ways off. in that Florida. And them steamboats are always gettin' sunk, and thestrains gettin' smashed up. You don't look like you was in any wrecks." Inez assured her that we hadn't been wrecked once, and then Louisa invited us into her little back room where she set out some cups on a red table cloth and lifted a coffee put from the gas stove. “Skoll!” says Lo each of us, as a should. Inez. “Don't Only| “She's robbin’ Loulsa,” goes on Inez “It's a shame.” * ok k ok A.\'D by the tone I could tell that “ % Inez was getting her Swedish up. She didn’'t seem to be a bit frightened, or even nervous. She was just plain mad, and Inez in that rare frame of mind is rather hard to handle. “Are you sure?” 1 walspers. “It doesn’t seem possible, rigltt on the street here, with so many passing.” “It’s her, all right,” insists Inez. “Tall girl with green veil over her face. Stylish dressed, too. But she's makin' Louisa dump out the cash drawer for her. I—I'm gonna stop that.” .Inez nad already started for the door when I grabbed her by the arm. “Wait!" says 1. “Don’t do anything foolish. If it is a holdup you're likely to get hurt. Let me take a look first.” And sure enough, one glance through a crack of the door, showed me that Inez was right. The Stick-up Lady was on the job. She was wearing quite a snappy hat under the green vell, and an | expeusive-looking cape trimmed with monkey fur. Also she was threatening Louisa with an automatic and demand- ing more money. “She's got a gun, I warned Inez. “You'd get shot if you went in there. “I don't care,” says Inez. “I shouldn't stay nere and let her rob Louisa. Leave me go, Trilby May." She had shaken me oft as easily as it I'd been a child, when 1 did this quick thinking and put over my plan. “If you must mix in this, Inez," says I, “show a little sense. You can't do any good by crashing in that way. You might stand a show if you could sur- prise her from behind. “How?” says Inez. “The window.” says L “I see an iron fire escape ending just outside, and it must open inio another window on the second floor, probably in a hallway. 1y you could get to the front door— “You bet!" says Inez. “Help me through. “Listen,” says 1, as she crawled out “Not much the robbers' ‘What robbers? “Here," says Louisa. up fellers come twice. don’t get such a lot.
